Mark always had the best smile and laugh

As enjoyable as Mark was onstage, backstage and at rehearsals he was hilarious. Many a tech run-through was bearable only through Mark's presence, his humor, and his spirit. We shall miss you!

I am so heartbroken...The last play I ever acted in was "Guys and Dolls" with Mark...I played Adelaide and Mark was the best Nicely Nicely I have ever seen....And he WAS nice, so nice...ever cheerful..fully a pro and ALWAYS COMPLETELY DEVOTED TO HIS FAMILY.....I cannot make the service, but my thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful wife and daughter....I am watching "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" right now sobbing...he always brought the house down....I love you Mark...God Bless us...

I just found out and I would like to send my prayers. I can still hear Mark singing out loud, "the prince is giving a ball"! He gave so much life and heart to every character. And of course , he was the most kind and generous person. Mark, you have now moved on but you will always stay out in my heart!

I can't believe that Mark's infectious joie de vivre is no longer going to brighten everyone's day. I was lucky to be in so many productions with Mark. We shared playful times, even a silly inside joke from Superstar, but many heartfelt conversations too. He was a dear man, a mega-talented performer, a true friend, and an asset to all of us.

Debbie & Kelsey,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was a wonderful man & will be missed.

My wonderful friendship with Mark started many years ago. I am so saddened by this news and the loss of an incredible man to his family, friends, theatres, and the world. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I miss Marco. Many years ago, I directed his first onstage role. He enjoyed acting almost as much as his audiences enjoyed him.

Debbie and Kelsey:

Mark's rendition of "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" in "Guys and Dolls" is one of my favorite theatre moments. It was a show stopper. God blessed him with a great talent which he generously shared with his audiences. Always a great smile and a big hug. He will be missed. My deepest sympathies to you both.
