Deepest sympathy to Mark’s family. I have many fond memories of Mark growing up in Franklin and at college in Bloomington. I remember hunting for dinosaur bones during recess in elementary school with Mark, and staying inside during recess in 5th or 6th grade in Mrs. Kitchen’s class and building a castle with empty oatmeal containers with him. I also enjoyed his dry wit and recall throwing an eraser at him during a study session in college for some comment he had made.

My deepest sympathy to Mark's family. I babysat for Mark and Debbie when they were very young, in 1976/77. They lived around the corner from my parents, Ted and Jean Stewart in Franklin. They were both such sweet kids. I have fond memories of Mark and Debbie. Prayers of comfort for Debbie and Mark's families.

To the entire Gibson family, my deepest sympathy. I remember Mark as a child in Illinois, my father was his dads first cousin, our grandmother’s were sisters.
