Mr. and Mrs. Buchler I continue to think about you often. I have a photo of Mark at my desk and it shows him outside enjoying nature as he always did. I know he is climbing mountains and kayaking crystal lakes in paradise. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope God will continue to be your comfort and hope. hugs

I was a coworker of Mark´s and found him to be so thoughtful, thorough and so very creative! He certainly made my job easier. Plus the eclairs he brought in for every potluck couldn´t be beat! May the trails in heaven bring you joy and peace.

I remember camping with Mark and always enjoying his company. He was always so fun to talk to and had great stories. I also enjoyed watching his camping videos and hearing all about his adventures in Northern Michigan. I will miss hearing his voice around the campfire.

Thank you Mark for letting me live adventures in the outdoors through your U Tube video's and photo's. Your joy, passion, and enthusiasm for nature and the outdoors was so heartwarming because I also love them too. You shared a birthdate March 23 with my daughter Kali so I always thought of you when it was her birthday. I will miss seeing you at work and your gift of photography. I believe you took our photos for our department emails and made us look so professional. I hope your family can find comfort in knowing you are hiking majestic mountains, kayaking lakes of pristine blue waters, and camping in snowy unspoiled forest. May your smile in the many photos you took bring hope and peace to your family. Heaven is eternal and I know you are basking in its light.

May our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary wrap her loving arms around your son, extended family and friends though this challenging time. I was the stranger with your mother in law in the target parking lot when she found out about your passing. My prayers are with your family. Thier grief is surely intense. Sincerely, Amy Weaver .

I´m going to miss our coffee mornings so much. For 12 years you´ve gotten up at least once a month at 4:45am to drink black coffee and chat with me (even though I insisted you had enough time to get ready if you woke up at 5:15). We started at "Mercury coffee" until it closed then tried out Panera, Starbucks, and Conjure, but most recently decided Bigby was going to be our spot. Thank you for 12 years of memories. I miss you already.
