Not sure what to say?

Mark was my mentor, supervisor & friend. I met him at my first job out of ECU. Although I was a young buck he was always willing to show me the way. He was always kind and witty. I will miss my friend Mark. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Diane and Family,
We were heartbroken when we heard of Mark’s passing. Yes, he was a kind soul! Probably everyone that knew him can recall kind words spoken to them. He told me that I was his Mom and Dad’s angel. Diane, everyone could witness the love that you two shared. We will look forward to seeing Mark again in Heaven where we will never grow old and we will spend forever with Jesus and all the ones gone before. Love and Prayers ❤

I have only known you and your husband for a very short time But it has been truly an honor. In the time that I have spent interacting with the both of you when you were together, it was evident that there was a great love between you. Cherish the memories and know that you can see each other again. God bless! Ann Woolard

We were both a part of the AHS Class of '74 & have been good friends all these many years! Mark was always humble about his many talents & that made him that much more impressive. He was kind & thoughtful & he will be deeply missed. I know he was a follower of Jesus & it's a comfort to me to know he is now in His presence.
Prayers sent for comfort for sweet Diane & all the family.

From the Hardy and Scott family: Our Condolences and prayers go out to the families, the neighbors that lived across the dirty road from Mr Bill and Mrs Kathleen Gray in Blounts Creek. Which in return known Mark parents Burton and Mae Gray. I did see Mark a few times in our early parts of life. Rest in peace Mark and see you will always be remember.

The Khoury family sends our heartfelt condolences to both Diane and Mark's family. In addition to having a brilliant technical mind, Mark's zest for life, music and teaching others was evident in all that he did. He was a pleasure to both work with and know for the many years that I was at The East Group. Please know that in this world, energy is transformed and NEVER lost... which means that Mark's presence and positive energy will always be with everyone that he touched.

Hidden Creek/Voyage Band. Mark was a part of. Nice pick Puff. These guys were heroes to me as a young musician.

I can still see Mark on the old Aurora park bench playing his acoustic. He never gave up on the music and I've always admired him for that. A good person. Never forget you man!

Diane and family, may God's strength and love lift your heads and hearts to remember him as your husband, family member and friend. God welcomes Mark with open arms in a room that He has prepared for him, so please accept our prayers in your loss and in healing.
