Terry and Ron and the Staker Family, sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I lived in Waynedale next to Jack n Pat Staker on Old Trail Rd. Your Bro Steve and I were close and I drove Ice Cream Trk. I remember Mark when ya all would come over to the Stakers next to my house. We played in the lot between the houses, mostly Tag n Hide n Seek. Childhood was good back then. My prayers are with all of.you. RIP MARK

I never saw Mark without a smile on his face. What a positive and gentle soul. He was a fantastic drummer, very talented, and a huge loss to the music scene. A terrible loss for all of us who knew him. I'll remember him smiling and laughing and so obviously happy. Rest in Peace Mark, you had a good ride.
