I never met Mark but know his family members through church and work. Their family businesses have been a great for our company "BAE Systems IAP Research Inc." and makes our shipping and rigging work a piece of cake. I give them the highest recommendation. I am sorry for your families loss and our prayers are with you all. If Mark was anything like all of you, he was a great person; and it sounds like he was a great Man, Brother, and Father. Such a hard thing to lose someone that is so loved and special.

Condolences: God's Grace and Blessings,

Wesley Family

I am so sorry to read about Mark's passing. I am a Walls, Ken Walls' sister. I went to school with Janet and you were a little older than I, John, but I remember you. Connie, you are a fellow Shawnee graduate. I, of course, remember you from school and, more recently, Classmates. I lost my son four years ago at age 46, suddenly. I also lost my daughter, Christy Bayes, Sept. '17 at intsec. Rt54/Old Columbus Rd, in a horrible car accident. I am more hollow words, during this time; however, if you ever want to talk, Connie to a mother who will mourn the loss of my children until I see them again, I have had to find my way (again) at my age and it's not easy but it will become more bearable. God bless you and your family.

Thougths and prayers are with the family regarding the passing of your dear son Mark. I'm so sorry for your loss, and pray that God will comfort you during this time now, and in the future days to come as well.

To Mark's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May that bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Mark was one the most honest and hard working person I have known. Mark gave me my first chance in the trucking world. Treated me with respect even though I didn't know what I was doing at the time. He always had a good word to say about everyone. While I was driving during the night , these last couple of years, I thought about Mark and his family and just hoping he would beat this cancer. He sure gave it a great fight. He inspired me by going into work everyday and working just has hard as he did before he got his cancer. I don't think I could do that. Mark was a great person and will never forget him, and admire his bravely these last 2 years. RIP Mark
