I knew Mark and his parents when I was much younger. We went to the same church and they are a wonderful family. So sorry to hear about Marks passing.

Marsha and Marjorie - I'm so sorry for your loss. I know Mark will be missed. I remember all the fun we had on Bailey Avenue (and of course, the rides to school in the furniture truck). I guess fond memories are what keeps us going in life.

Mark was truly special. He always put a smile on my face when I’d see him at Dakota HS. I will never forget how impactful he was just by his personality and positive energy he always gave off.
