Mark was a Deputy in our area (WOODY) for many years .In that time he went above and beyond the call of duty. He put extra efforts in covering our mountain communities .In his time here he became a friend , always quick to answer his phone .A great sense of humor with funny stories of his day. He once answered the phone while he was on vacation from the roof of his Colorado home! We were sorry to see him retire but happy for him and his family. Our condolences to his loved ones. He was a good man. Rest in peace.
