I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Mark during a summer with YCC. Digging holes, building fences, moving rock, planting grass, you name it, we worked hard but had so much fun! Mark made it a lot easier with his goofy humor.
Condolences to his family.

Mark was a talented, kind, and gentle soul. I will always cherish the time I spent working with him in the theatre. Knowing him enriched my life. You will be greatly missed, Mark. RIP.
