I met Mark in Vail, Colorado. He was a great friend and mentor and made you feel like you were family. He was hard working and an amazing example of how to live your life. He would drag me into church for which I was always grateful for afterwards. We laughed and enjoyed each others company for many years until I left the mountains.
Mark was so generous with his time. He was always willing to listen and give advice if needed. He took me to my first MLB all star baseball game at Coors Field to watch Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire. At the time little did I know that I would soon have a son who would love baseball and much as Mark. I am grateful that many years later on a trip to Colorado for our son play baseball our son got to meet Mark, he was very gracious and genuine - It was a great day!
Mark was also incredibly supportive professionally, without him I would not have been able to launch my architecture practice. I have been so blessed to a great family and career. I will be enterally grateful to Mark for so many memories. God Bless you friend!
