I am so heartbroken and saddened to have just learned of Mark's passing. Although I hadn't seen Mark in some time, I had known him since he was a little boy. He left this world way too soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family; Ron, Joanne, Jonathan, Christopher, and Lexie. Mark may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

Just learned of Marks passing. Mark attacked life with an energy and enthusiasm that was inspirational. He always had a big smile or laugh that was contagious. He left us way too soon and will be missed. Deepest sympathies to all.

I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Although I have not seen Mark for decades, I will always remember the fond memories living on California Street as neighbors and same high school class. We skated and scootered together. He introduced me to Philly Cheesesteak on Divisadero back in 1985! I always envied that GTI of his. Most of all, Mark was a great friend and very well liked. RIP my friend.

We are stunned and saddened by this news. Our apologies that we just found out about Marks passing today.

We met Mark as a teenager when we moved into the neighborhood around 1986.

He was always working on bicycles, scooters, and then progressed into cars. Being a car guy myself, we hit it off right away.

We sat around the local cafe and talked about all sorts of things. We worked on cars together, we drank together, we had fun.

Mark embraced life in a way few...

We still cannot believe this has happened.We are all very sad.Mark was so young and acheived so much.We are very proud of him.He will forever be in our hearts.

I was distraught with sorrow when I heard about the death of Mark my deepest condolences to all of Marks' family and friends.
