Tracy and family-
I am sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I had not seen Mark in couple of years. I do have quite a few fond memories of Mark whether it be at the races,working on the car at the garage, or just visiting with Dad at the house. He was always willing to help my Dad and Todd. He is up in heaven having a beer with Pop right now. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. May you rest in peace Mark.

Dear Tracy and Family,
Sandy and I were extremely saddened to hear of Mark's passing. We will never forget all of Mark's help in my congressional campaign. He never refused us any request for assistance. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time Mark dressed in a suit to go with us to a speaking engagement. He looked like a different person. He even helped us by filling in for me at some speaking engagements and did great!
Mark was always extremely conscientious, diligent, and upbeat. He was very active also on blogs not only during the campaign but afterwards continuously defending us and our viewpoints.
Had I been elected to serve in Congress, I would have wanted Mark to continue to work with me. He was straightforward, honest, and loyal. I could have asked for nothing more.
I apologize for not being able to attend Mark's services but we are currenly in California including doing military service there.
Traci, Sandy and I will keep Mark, you, and your family in our prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Sandy and Joe Pascuzzo and Family

We would just like to express our sincere sorrow in the loss of such a generous man! Words could never express the thanks to him for all that he did out of the kindness of his heart for my son Robbie to help him get recruited and play D-1 football. He was truly dedicated and had such a strong belief in my son and it showed with his posts all over the internet. We shared some great memories going to Uconn to see Robbie play and Mark carting Robbie's deer head to his dorm room for him. We will NEVER forget him and pray for his family and friends. The world is a lesser place without him....RIP My friend!!!!

Mark could make me laugh out loud on a routine basis, which is an art. He was always eager to please, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Mark always had a constructive suggestion on how to improve life in the workplace. I was totally shocked and sad to hear that he felt life was no longer worth living. I just wish he knew now how many people cared about him...and for him. He was a bright guy, a caring person, and he'll be obviously missed by many of us.

A long time ago I met someone who was loving,kind,understanding and fun to be with. Sometimes life changes and we move on. Memories stay forever school days,horseback riding,the gas station,the races and that great CB radio. Being part of your family was a great joy in my life that I will hold on to. That someone had a name and it was MARK
Peace be with you
You are home

Mark Zovak was my closest friend on this earth. He was my webmaster, a job he took on without being asked. He helped me almost everyday in any way he could without asking for anything in return. He did this for everyone he knew. His generosity and kindness were never-ending. I saw him continuously at his house or mine. My kids became his friends and so did their friends. Everyone loved Mark and he was hysterical. When we were together we laughed and laughed.
My family and I are devastated. We have no words for what we feel. He was one of a kind. I hope God finds a place in his heart for Mark. As God knows, Mark found a place in his heart for everyone that came into his life. I will think about Mark until the day I die. May he rest in peace for eternity.

I have so many memories of Mark throughout our growing up years. He was one of a kind and I will never forget him. We lost touch for many years and I regret that, however we caught up in the last year. It was so nice to chat the few times we did, so I will not say "goodbye" dear friend, but instead Ill see you in Heaven one day. My condolences to the family and friends in Marks life.

Dad,
I love you unconditionally and am truly heartbroken. I am grateful that I have soo many wonderful memories to remember you by; going to the races, hunting for fossils, the hop scotch you painted for me in front of the house, watching nascar (routing for Mark Martin of course), pool days at my grams, and my favorite hot dogs & coffee!! Words cannot truly express the love I shared with you.
Not only were you a wonderful dad who was always there for me, but I am most proud of your artistic abilities. You were soo talented in many ways!! You were an excellent fisherman, painter, mechanic, wrestler, hunter and had a natural ability to maneuver a computer like no other.
I wish I could have had more time with you, but am grateful for all the memories we had together.
I am going to miss you dearly, but can assure you that I will make you proud! I will always have a special place in my heart for you <3
With ALL my Love,
Vanessa

Well were should I start, I will never forget Mark. He lettered my race cars for years, and helped me when I won so many features and championships, to hunting with him, drinking some beers, and just hanging out, and being a Godfather to Cody, you will always be missed by everyone that knew you. You were a great friend and I will meet up with you again someday.

It is a great surprise to hear of Mark's passing. I have known Mark for 15+ years and he was more than just a co-worker, he was a true friend. He had a corky sense of humor but the people that knew him understood him. He truly cared about his friends and would do anything for them. Mark, we could never forget you because you made it a point to be in every one of our wedding pictures. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace my friend!

My condolances to Mark's family and friends. He will be truly missed by so many people. I have worked with Mark for almost 13 years. He was an amazing person. So friendly and lighthearted. Always playing practical jokes on his co-workers. He was very thoughtful and considerate and was always there to help whether in a personal or professional way. Whatever you needed, he would jump at the opportunity to help. He left this world way too early and he will be missed greatly. Rest in Peace Mark.

To Tracy and family,
It is with deepest sympathies that are sent out to you during the loss of your husband Mark. I had worked with him for a short time there at the Lehigh Group and found him to be a very caring, understanding and well liked person. I use to chat with him a couple of times about his family, and he was always proud of his kids. Just recently I have lost a relative who was my stepmom and I can understand your pain and sorrow during this time. May you know that he will be truly missed by all who knew him and loved him. May you all find solace in knowing that he will always be your guardian angel watching over all of you's. My deepest sympathies to one and all.

It is with my deepest sympathy that I write this condolence note to Mark’s family. I am also one of the fortunate co-workers who worked with Mark for 20 years. Mark would tell me we were getting old together here at Lehigh and therefore had nicknamed each other ‘Pappy’ and ‘Mammy’ – the nickname stuck for 13 years and I never called him “Mark” after that. I will miss his laugh, his pranks, and his friendship. Mark was a friend you could count on for anything and will be so deeply missed. Mark, may you rest in peace!

So very sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I worked with Mark for over twenty years. Once I saw through his "gruff sense of humor", I found a guy who loved to tease and make you laugh. He was always there to help with any project. Mark loved to have fun and will be greatly missed by family and friends and especially his co-workers. Rest in peace MARK!!!! Kathy M.
