What a nice and talented man. I recall how gracious and caring he was when I and my son,
Bob Sperry, met with him to discuss my wife's
funeral service some years ago. I am so sorry he he is no longer here.

Thinking of great memories with Mark in the late 70's and prayers for all the family. Peace...jim thoburn

Mark was one of the kindest, and smartest, and talented people I've ever known. We had a barely-kindled friendship. The evidence is, unfortunately, part of the last time I spoke to him. He didn't want me to drive home from Oklahoma City alone, on that day, from the American Choral Director's Association conference. He asked me, if he could drive back to Kansas City with me. I gladly accepted. By talented, you may think I mean only musically. I don't. He was talented with people too. And...

The world was a better place with Mark Ball's kindness and sharing of his many talents. His love of music was infectious and we all learned from him. Prayers for his family during this time of loss.

We have so many happy memories of Mark over the yearsholidays, birthdays, weddings, and musical performances celebrated together. We loved Mark for his kind, thoughtful, and humble demeanor. He loved visiting us in the country. We will miss you, Mark!

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your loved one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may His loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

What a talented man who touched so many peoples lives through music and his personality. It is so sad to see life cut so short for him. We met him at Josiah and Michelle's wedding and enjoyed hearing about his music. Our prayers are with the many family and friends who will miss him.
