Mark Darst

I met Mark at work. Mark was a very nice, friendly and intelligent man who grew to be a very good friend. We worked on the same squad. I think of him often especially when something happens that reminds me of him. He is missed and always will be. I really loved him as a person and I wish he was still here. He had such wisdom about life . I pray that he is safe in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Love always, always love.

I attended USF in 1985-86. I don't remember where or how I met Mark but we became friends. I came back to L.I. eventually joining the police force. From time to time, I would google his name, never finding anything. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing

I worked at 7-eleven over twenty years ago and Mark always made us feel safe when he drove up to check on us. He was a really caring man. I remember that he would buy candy to give to the kids that he dealt with and he asked me what kind of candy did he think the boys would like versus the girls...very sweet. Many blessings to his family and friends. RIP, Mark.

Mark, you were always where you were needed most. Always watching as we closed our stores or banks or restaurants!
We always felt safer and tonight I learned of your passing from a fellow Deputy.
I will never forget the last time you stopped by GNC to let us know how you were doing, Now I know why it's been so long since you were in... Rest in Peace my Friend... And God comfort your Family.

Mark, my mother Judy Gittins and I will surely miss you. You were a true friend. You will be forever in our hearts and in our memories.

Debbie, Lisa, Lois, Ken, David and Mary Jo,
We wish there were words to express our feelings to you at this very sad time in your lives. Just know that we were with you in spirit today at the service and wish we could have been there in person. All of you have a special place in our hearts.

Mark was a great friend and a great Deputy. Worked with him for years and glad he is in a better place now.
