This is completely heart breaking. I worked for Mark Adams and his brothers for about 4 years (2004-2008) right after high school as the shop driver. About 8 years ago I left the AV but always wanted to go back and see everyone at the shop. Mark and his family were always good to me. My condolences to his family he was a great man god rest his soul.

The Calvert family and Mark Adam's family have known each other for decades. When he would call Calvert Racing and let us know he had our order ready to pick up, I always loved to mess with him and make him laugh. He was a rough and tumble man with a huge heart. He will be sorely missed. Rest in God's sweet peace, until we meet again in Glory!

Sorry to hear of his passing. I dealt with him a few times. My dad dealt with him all the time when he owned his own auto shop. Very nice gut.

We have known the Adams' family for many years, starting with years ago with Matt, the business and his boys! So sorry for your loss Chrystal! Our Condolences to the rest of your family! Mark, like Matt was a true Lancaster iconic businessman and friend. Any time you saw Mark, he always had time and a good word for you. Sometimes it was political, maybe sarcastic or funny! I always made sure to say hi as i knew he would to. He had a world of mechanic knowledge and would always make sure you were doing it right or if you needed help to do it the best way! I owe many completed successful projects to Mark and this family!
Rest in peace my friend!
