My deepest sympathies for you and your family. Though Mark and I had only met one time over fifty years ago in Pueblo...I knew there was a connection. My stepfather Gerald Thalhamer was the middle brother to Everett.
Having thought of Mark many times, I failed to reach out and connect after so many years...definitely my loss!
My thoughts and prayers be with you...always!!

I remember playing tennis with Mark as we grew up. Mark - and the whole Thalhamer family - exemplified what made Pueblo a great tennis town and a good place to grow up. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

With a heavy heart I pen this note. My deepest heart-felt sympathy goes out to the Thalhamer family during this very difficult time. GOD will be welcoming you with open arms my friend.
I remember our early tennis days pre-high school and then during high school. Mark was always a gentleman and conducted himself with a touch of class. Our paths crossed seldom once our East High School days ended and I had moved away......but occasionally during return visits to town when our paths crossed it was like we had never missed a beat. That is a "life time friend" indeed. Rest in peace Mark, rest.......

I am beyond devastated to hear of Marks passing. We graduated high school together but as distant friends. It wasn't until 2013 that our paths crossed again. We had a special friendship and shared many memories, laughs and a few tears. He was one of the nicest and kindest men I have known. My heart goes out to you Jacque and all of the family. Thoughts and prayers are with you. I will see you again one day my friend.

Mark and I started at the Pueblo Police Department on the same day in 1981 so I have known him all these years. He was a very good officer and more importantly a very kind man. He was always smiling and although there were times when I would not see him for months on end when I did he would always stop and talk and we would laugh about life. To say his death was a shock is an understatement and a great loss for everyone who knew him. To Jacqui and family I am so very honored I knew him and so very sorry for all of us losing him.
