Mark was a great guy. We spent a ton of time together in high school and when we played on the same hockey team. We got into quite a few "situations."

It really is rattling to realize he's gone. He was a genuinely fun guy to be around. We shared a ton of laughs. He was a really good dude and even though the years split us up a bit I will always be glad I had him as a friend.

Rest in peace man.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mark's family. It was a pleasure to work with Mark over the past three summers and I will miss our conversations. Mark was a kind man who would go out of his way to help his fellow workers and community. He would work double shifts on many occasions when someone was sick or had to be off for an emergency. You meet few people in your lifetime like Mark and I for one was honored to know him and will miss him. Rest in Peace Mark.

My thoughts and prayers are with Marks family. I spent from kindergarten through graduation and a few fun filled years of Scouts with Mark. Though the years have separated us I will always have fond memories of our friendship and the kind very special person he was. Rest in peace my old friend.
