We have lost, by my opinion, one of the finest drummer/percussionists in the DFW area and beyond. Mark replaced me as the drummer for The Pengwins. He was as solid as a rock and a great guy too. Always had a smile on his face and happy to talk to you.I will miss him greatly as will the rest of our musical community. I loved listening to him play, as I am a drummer also. I am sorry I couldn't go to the funeral and pay my respects. God bless Mark, his family and his friends.
