Not sure what to say?

To Marks Family and Friends,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I know that the memories you have will be shared with joy. I will always remember Mark has having a smile on his face and laughing about something? What a joy in the world he was!
My prayers are with you all,

Markie... I'll miss you man and always have you in my heart. I'll never forget growing up with you around. The words of wisdom you added to my life and vocabulary. Words like compelcious, and sprackle-de-dowch. Thanks for the lessons in welding, and getting a bigger hammer.

Love and miss you man.

Mark was a bright light back in HS and know he will be missed by all.

Bob Dylan

I loved Mark. His sense of humor was incredible and I'd still be laughing from something he did or said weeks later. My heartfelt condolences to his parents, siblings, extended family members and to everyone who loved him. Our lives will not be the same without him.

I knew Mark may years ago when we were all young and trying to find our way in the world. Mark was a wild and crazy dude, who made everyone laugh. He stood out as the one who created fun times for all his high school friends. He will be missed by all who had the chance to spend time with him, whether it was in a small group of friends, or a large group of acquaintances. If Mark was a part of the group, everyone knew it would be a fun time for all. Rest in Peace, Mark. You leave behind a...
