So sorry to see this news so late. I was a classmate of Mark´s older brother John "Tom" at Parks and worked with both of them at McDonnell Douglas. I found Mark´s obituary after Googling his name upon finding an entry in my first pilot logbook. That entry showed that I took Mark on his first ever airplane ride on 10/22/1984. Despite being a smart, kind and funny fellow, he also must have been quite brave, seeing as he was only my 3rd passenger ever, the first 2 being family! He wanted to fly over his hometown and Carlyle Lake, so we did. I pray that Mark´s family has found peace in his memory and in the faith that he watches over them always. Robin Sova

I just learned of Mark's passing. We worked on a project together in 2006 and I always appreciated how Mark treated me. We remained in contact including his efforts to come up with gifts against the family theme at Christmas. May his remaining family carry the positive spirit that he exuded.

I worked with Mark more than 20 years ago and our paths haven't crossed since, but I valued his friendship and humor and admired his abilities as an engineer. He was curious about the big issues and we had a number of conversations about these deeper and more lasting elements of life. I am saddened by his passing and hope that God's comfort will be real for his family and loved ones.

I am so sorry for the loss of Mark. I have not seen him in years (if I recall, the last time would have been many years ago at Damiansville church picnic), but just thinking of him brings a smile to my face...what a truly delightful man! I knew him from TEC when he was a very young man. I will keep his family in my prayers. Mark is resting in the arms of Jesus. God's peace.

Dear Family Members,
I'm deeply saddened to hear this news. Mark was my classmate at Mater Dei. He was always friendly, kind, outgoing, and had a great sense of humor. He was a very special and unique individual. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this sad time.

My prayers and sympathy to all the family! I had the pleasure of knowing Mark growing up near Marydale, I lived "across the creek" in Beaver Prairie. Mark and I shared memories of religion classes and CYO often as we were reunited as classmates at Mater Dei. We played trombones in the band so we sat next to each other, we had loads of fun! It was a joy to know him, let the comfort of God fill your hearts and find peace! Sharon (Voss) Bickl class of MD 1979

Anna and family,
I returned today from a two week business trip to be devastated by the news of Mark's passing. I am sorry I was unable to attend visitation or the mass. I was there the day that Mark joined the company and worked together with him on many programs through the years. He was always quick with the humor to relieve tensions when things weren't going well. I would always get a chuckle when we were driving to lunch or on a trip together and I would tell him to buckle his seat belt, and remind him that most accidents happen within 5 miles of home. He would laugh and say that he is further than 5 miles from his home so it doesn't matter. He was a great co-worker and will be missed. May God comfort you during this very difficult time.

Anna I have worked with Mark during all of his time at McDonnell and Boeing. He was a dear friend who always had a nice smile when things didn't go well. He will be missed at The Boeing Company, and it will be impossible to replace. You have my family's deepest sympathy and prayers. Mark has been on our Church prayer list for a long time, and we will now place you there. Take comfort in his faith in God. He has the hard part over, and is in a much better place where there is no suffering or pain. He is waiting for you now, keep the faith in God, he will remove this dark cloud.

Dear Anna, Emily, Sophie, Anthony and family,
I was saddened to hear that Mark passed away. I will remember Mark as an honest, friendly, and upstanding man. It was my pleasure to work with him on several proposals here at Boeing. His calm demeanor, hard work and dedication to each project made it a pleasant experience. I want you to know that his Christian character shined through at work. I am grateful that I had the honor to work with him, and am praying for peace and comfort for each of you.

Dear Family members,
I was saddened to learn of Mark's passing. I knew him at Mater Dei, and before that in Clinton County and on TEC retreats as well as many occasions with the Lindauer family. He was a gentle soul and remarkable person, full of vitality and good humor. May God give Mark eternal rest now and be with his loving family in their time of loss. I will offer a Mass for Mark in the near future. Heaven has gained a great one!
God's peace,
Fr. Bob
