I was saddened to hear of Mark's passing and extend my sincere condolences to the family. I have many great memories as a youngster playing ball with Mark, Jim, Brian and Bobby Jo in Mark's backyard and the pick-up basketball games we played at Anawalt School. Mark was very easy going and one of the nicest fellas you could ever meet.

You came into my life through bowling, I told my sister, Suzanne about you, then introduced you and it was the first time I ever saw two people fall in love at first sight. I planned your elopement and then you both gave me two of the sweetest nephews anyone could ever have. Then in 2014 you became a living and breathing walking miracle. God heard our prayers and brought your through. I will be forever grateful and humble that our Heavenly father gave to us, YOU for 4 more years. You became a testimony and a servant for God. We always called you "The Miracle" after that and I hope you didn't mine. When you became my brother in law, you became the brother I never had. I know God will help Suzanne and your sons through this sad season of life. You were loved by many, You had God given talents when it came to cars, you were my sister Suzanne's soulmate and best friend, but most of all You were a miracle from God with a testimony to share. Till we meet again one day in heaven, just know you will be greatly missed. We all love you. Georgia Russ Smith, Vernon Smith and Cara Trent "your babydoll niece as you called her".
