Mark was a good man and will be missed. I worked with him in the flooring industry off and on for 10 years. Too soon for me but I am sure God has a plan for Mark.

I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Mark was our carpet vendor for many years but most important we was a good friend. From our first meeting it was obvious he was a sincere and good man with a very kind heart.

We were sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I (Randee) worked with him at McKee Floor covering, and always enjoyed his friendship and our working relationship. We remained business friends long after Mark moved on to other opportunities. I hope some day there is a cure for cancer. Our deepest sympathy to Mark's family and friends.

I will always remember Mark for his charm and magnetism. He constantly looked forward to the next adventure and enjoyed sharing his enthusiasm for the journey ahead as much as his past escapades.

Mark lived life with passion and was always fun to be around. He was a loyal friend to many and will be truly missed.

My heart goes out to his family and those who loved him. Please count me among those who loved him.
