Mark was born October 11, 1957, in Washington State to Bob Cook and Lucille Cook but he moved at a young age to Amarillo and grew up there. He was later adopted by C.E. (Jack) McCoy, his mother's second husband and the man he came to think of as his Dad. He attended Tascosa High School. Following high school, he went to work in the automotive tire business and soon built his own business as Autco Tire in Wolflin Village which he owned and ran until 2017 when he sold the business. He was married to Elizabeth McCoy for over 30 years. In 2011 he met Rebecca Gruhlkey and they were married in 2013. Mark was one of those individuals who was interested in everything. He was a licensed pilot and a master diver. He enjoyed travel and anything to do with food. He enjoyed participating and sponsoring the chamber BBQ cook offs and loved just cooking at home for family and friends. In the last few years, his favorite past time was spending time with his grandkids.

Mark was preceded in death by his parents Lucille McCoy, C.E. (Jack) McCoy and Bob Cook.
