I absolutely cannot believe Mark is gone. My heart is so sad for his family. Mark and Tammy are the best friends anyone could have. They took me in without batting an eye. I would thank Mark for his hospitality and he would just laugh and tell me not to worry about it. The most fun times I've had so far are with Mark and Tammy; concerts, pool parties and a dance party in the living room. I think I'll miss his laugh the most. He was a great dad, a wonderful husband and a one-of-a-kind guy. I'm so glad I got to know him.

I remember the house that he grew up in was "marked" house. With a capital C. That is how I remember him too. Big heart, big smile. Heaven is full of laughter because of Mark.

It's always so sad to hear that one of your classmates has passed away. I have great memories of Mark from Hickman Mills.
My prayers go out to his wife and family. He was pretty cool back in the day. . .I'm sure he was an even better husband and father. RIP my dear old friend. See you on the other side. God bless you. Be at peace now. . . .

Tons of great memories & laughs with Mark. Fast cars & drive-in movies after high school, starting families & working long hours, teaching the kids to ride their dirt bikes only to watch them grow & outride us, tailgating, canoeing, camping, nascar trips, grandkids... We've laughed outloud with your memories & cried outloud from our loss. Hug & kiss your infant daughter & watch over Chris as you ride those trails through the clouds. Your always loved & never forgotten.
Tim, Laurie, Taylor & Lauren

Brian, Cody and Holli Jo,
Your father/uncle occupies so many pages in my memory book. And although it has been some time, the older I get it seems like yesterday. Mark's great sense of humor, infectious laugh, awesome smile and all around good natured charm will never be forgotten.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your families during this difficult time.

I didn't have the honor of knowing Mark as well as I'd have liked. Tammy, his world, shared him through her actions and conversation. Offering generic condolences seems inappropriate as together they defied the ordinary. C.L. Howell
