I grew up next door to this family. Most awesome people. It was such a hard time with the loss of David, and now Mark. When I heard the saddening news that Mark had passed so unexpectantly I immediately called my father Bob Davis, as he still resides near Mark and his wife, it was such a hard thing for my father as he said Mark was such a wonderful man. A hard worker, a family man, and one that would lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need of anything. My prayers go out to Mark's family. No parent should have to endure the loss of their child, nor a sibling the loss of a brother. Susie I love you with all of my heart. He will be missed by so many....sending my Angels your way too comfort you...may you receive peace and endurance throughout this troubling time. Love too all....from Tonya (Davis) Dempsay, Dave and Chloe Rae.❤❤❤
