Rest in peace old friend!

Rest in peace my old friend. We are in a world that desperately is in need of men such as yourself. You are loved, and missed.

I love you Mark, and I'm so sorry we lost touch.

I have so many wonderful memories of my time with Mark during our time at Cleveland and after high school. He was a great friend and a fierce competitor. He made wearing overalls fashionable, not that anybody would criticize him to his face. We spent so many hours in the weight room, at Loprinzi's, park football, and just hanging out. It was kind of hilarious, I was a shrimp and well Mark was not. After college we did not see each other much but I always followed Mark's adventures and almost...

I am glad to have known you Mark. We had some good times. You have touched an immense amount of lives and have helped many. You will be missed and remembered with a smile on my face.

Martin, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, Mark. Words can not describe the unspoken pain. I also lost my brother and we will always carry a little piece of those we have loved and lost. It has been a while since our Miller days. I truly hope the years have been amazing for you and your immediate. Take care, Irene Jarrett (Sweet)

Hey was a great man An teacher rip to a legend mark you will for ever be missed #marshallhighschool2004

Coach Brandenburg gave me my high school nick name "Gooch" freshman year in PE. He called me that since he could never pronounce my last name. Then soon enough I would hear "Gooch!" down the hallway, when Admin or coaches would ask me to sing the National Anthem at sporting events. The name stuck with me throughout high school. I know it sounds funny, but it made me feel part of the team. Coach, thank you for that tough love, guidance, & laughs. We love u & u will forever be missed. #RIP

I never had him for a teacher but I still remember the look on his face when he walked into Varsity Football tryout meeting to see my face sitting there with my name on the list for football players. I was the only girl that signed up that year. He was a great guy and was well respected throughout Marshall. RIP and my condolences to the family and friends.
