Kenneth Mark Yancey

the kind of man who insisted on buying a friend a drink - even if he had to borrow the money to do it - always gracious - always friendly - blessed to have him in my life

Still find myself reaching for my phone to give him a call and see what he is up to -- and then reality sinks in

Allegra,

We're so sorry to learn of Mark's passing. May his Memory be a Blessing.

I never saw Mark without a smile on his face. I will miss is stilted chuckles. He brought lots of joy to us all.

Since we first met (1971), we hit it off, and shared many spoken and unspoken adventures while at LSU ;) What ever mischief you wanted to explore you could count him IN . and nobler acts too ! I got to share many sailing adventures with him that enriched my soul and made me salty. I plan to hook up with him in heaven as i am sure he will have a Beneteau fully stocked and ready to go.
