To Ruth, I am so sad to hear that Mark past. I Knew him way back in the 80's. I met him through G.R Cambell and my dad George McGladrey. Wow I just found this, I saw a picture of G.R on face book and thought of Mark. I hope you get this message. Mark came to my wedding and played bartender. Mark was a great police officer and a good friend. Again sorry for you loss, Laurie McGladrey Lasley.

Thank you for the love Mr. Mark and your family shared with ours. May God continue to comfort and bless you all.
Deepest sympathy,
Garren and Erica Handson and family

I have known Mark since 1979 when i started with Everett PD. In our early years with the PD, Mark and I traveled the world together, Hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and went skiing up at Whistler. We vacationed together to Mexico when he met the love of his life Ruth. Good times with a good friend. We worked together in special investigations and always enjoyed each others company. Mark was always there for me through rough times and the good. He was that type of man. Caring, concerned for others and willing to help his brothers. I will miss you dearly my friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark in patrol and also as his supervisor in the Major Crimes unit, Accident Investigations unit. Mark always gave 110 percent in whatever he was doing. He was a consummate police officer. He will be missed.

Mark was a most respectable officer. He was always available to help out with investigation. A true professional. He spent likely thousands of hours on a Kawasaki 1000 helping to keep the streets of Everett safer. I look forward to seeing brother Mark in heaven one day. And, I pray for comfort in the coming days for his wife Ruth, his family and friends. God welcomed home a good one.
