Please accept my deepest condolences. Mark, adorably referred to as Father among our close group friends, was as a dear friend and soul mate during my formative years as a young man. We spent countless hours growing up together in the yuba city area, at his parents house, my parents house, his rental house on end of stewart road, his place in olivehurst, bacardo ranch, club 27 or 29 ? with friends from Robbins and Knights landing, trips to Chico, so may great memories!!!! While our distance meant limited interactions over the years, I always looked forward to visiting his shop during my holiday visits. Mark was part of our extended family and continued to take care of my family's auto needs and served as a consultant to other mechanical issues until his retirement. Mark was a special friend and I am blessed to have the him in my life. We had a great young adulthood together and built many memories which I will cherish forever. Thoughts and prayers to all those in Mark´s family and circle of friends. Thank you Mark. With all my love, Kevin O´Shea

My earliest memory of Mark was seeing him when I took my then-young daughter to his wonderful mom´s barn for play rehearsals.
As a Volvo owner I was privileged to get to know him very well over the years when he opened up shop and became my Number One mechanic: Trustworthy, friendly, kind, humble, and good-natured are only a few of the many positive traits I can use to describe Mark.
I am so sorry to hear of his passing, and send my love and condolences to his family and friends.

Mark and his family lived accross the street quite a few years back. He was a great guy and always enjoyed speaking with him and getting to know the family. Once they moved away, he reached out and I performed some work for him and his family, which I really emjoyed. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and my deepest condolences to his entire Family.

Mark was always so kind to me and my family. We shared many fun stories about family, and of course Volvos. His sweet smile and kind nature will be truly missed. My most sincere condolences to his mom and his wife and children.
