Mark was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, he grew up as a proud military brat, living in many places across the United States and abroad due to his fathers military service. This journey eventually brought him to Hawaii, where he attended school from fifth grade through high school, and spent an additional year in college there before completing his degree at Auburn University in Alabama. A die hard Auburn fan, Mark's love for his alma mater stayed with him throughout his life, often proudly shouting his favorite saying; "Weagle Weagle, War Damn Eagle!"

 In 2008 Mark met the love of his life, Debra, and they married in 2011. Together they built a fun filled life, traveling, attending concerts, and cherishing every moment with their grandchildren. Mark's warmth, humor, and passion for life touched everyone who knew him. He was proud to hold the title of "World's Okayest Golfer." 

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him.
