I had the good fortune to work with Mark at Aegis Asst Living's fashion shows. We hit it off immediately and I enjoyed his professionalism coupled with his sense of humor. Even though I only knew him briefly I will miss his smiling face so much.My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Mark's family and friends. God bless you all, Patti Fieberg

Mark was so great. I work at an assisted living community where he would bring clothes for our yearly fashion show. He was wonderful and always picked out the cutest clothes just for me. He was funny and we had good times. I am so sorry to hear this and you are all in my prayers

To Mark Lee's Family. Mark was a great, kind and with a smile. His life ended much too soon but in God's terms. I enjoyed Modeling for three years for Mark at Draper's and Damon's in La Jolla until the store closed. Everyone will miss his smile. My deepest Sympathy. From Elsie Haake
