I knew Mark at Avon High before moving away. I was recently thinking back to those times and Mark came to mind. I looked him up on line, only to find out he had passed away last March in Lucern. My most sincere sympathies to his family and friends.

Mark was a big brother to many of us in the neighborhood. A bigger tan life guy, who also had a bigger than life heart. I wish I could have spent more time with him.

The Marquis Family lived just up the street from me on Winding Lane.
Never a dull moment at their house with the Brothers always involved in "Rough&Tumble" activities.
Mark was such a larger than life personality, Handsome as can be and an incredibly gifted athlete.
Ran into him a few years back and we discovered our shared residence of Lucerne Switzerland.
Mark gave me an open invitation to visit and stay with him whenever I wanted.
Sadly, that was the last time we spoke.
Condolences to his family.
Noone will EVER forget Mark and he will be missed.

Mark was like another big brother to me but a sweet & nice one, when otherwise I was teased or tormented by my own. I´ll miss that boisterous laugh of his. My sympathies to all the Marquis family and especially Emily who he so obviously & absolutely adored.
