Karen, kids and grandkids.
My deepest sympathy and prayers. Everything Mark presented as a person was real, genuine and with no pretense whatsoever, and that simply flowed from his faith in Christ
and his love of people.
My apologies for not attending the celebration of his life as we were out of state for a wedding. I met Mark in H.S., and wish I had known him better. He had a way of making you feel like you were his best friend in the smallest of moments. A quality few of us take time to exhibit. His passing is a truly a loss for anyone who knew him. May God bless and surround you in this time.

Prayers to Karen and her family. A wonderful person who only knew as a co-worker at Foley. We always shared many laughs about Shocker basketball and Shocker football( that´s right no football). May God watch over you, your kids, and grand kids during this time. Hang in there. Having been thinking about you and Mark ever since you took time off. Many prayers for you

I had the pleasure of knowing Mark in Junior high and high school. I can never remember a time that Mark did not have a smile on his face or did not lend a hand to help. He was a kind person that always put others before himself. You will be dearly missed my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
