Mark was always so nice and genuine. I still remember whenever he was applying to be our manager at Specialty Pharmacy for the Neurology position. He was dressed to the 9's, looking extra spiffy, and of course then, his man bun! I talked with him the longest time that day just rooting him on, not knowing then that he was going to be our manager. After he received it, they had us welcome him to the position. I will never forget. I asked him, "why didn't you tell me you were coming to my team? "He smiled and replied with, "Well, you never asked!"

Mark was such a wonderful supervisor, and friend to me at Specialty Pharmacy. His passion for Neurology gave me a whole new outlook for the field, and has gained my interest as well. He always came into the office with a smile and his tea! He was such a happy person; with planning vacations, cruises, and definitely Taylor Swift concerts (Think he went to 2 in 2023!) He will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will never forget what a treat it was to know him for a short time. He is truly missed!

I was on the cheerleading squad with Mark way back in high-school. I haven't seen him since graduating, but he was always, always such a kind person. The world is a little less bright with him gone.

I was Mark's dental hygienist. I only saw him twice a year but he touched my heart. I always looked forward to seeing him. He was always so sweet and personable. I loved his smile. I truly wished he was my son. I think I told him once that I wished I could see him every day. He always brightened my day. He would tell me about family vacations. I could tell how important his family was to him. It was obvious that Mark cared for people. He will stay in my heart forever.
