His lively spirit, boundless energy, and unique dedication to his craft were admired and cherished by all who knew him. A proud product of Prince George's County public schools, Mark spent much of his life in Washington, D.C., where he developed a deep connection to the Southeast community, particularly the area near Parkchester Apartments, which he fondly called home. Known for his creativity and artistic spirit, Mark expressed himself through music, drawing, and fashion. His passion for art and style was a reflection of his vibrant personality and unique sense of self. Mark left an indelible impact on those who knew him, whether through the beats of his favorite songs or the strokes of his sketches.
Mark was a loving son, brother, uncle, and father. He was a pillar of strength and support for his family, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer a kind word. His kindness, humor, and warmth will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Mark is preceded in death by his mother, Kanita Odoms, grandmother Deborah Robinson, uncle Roger "JR" Robinson, and cousin, Kerry Odoms. Mark is lovingly remembered by his son Mason Odoms, father, Victor McEachin, and his siblings: Lawrencia "Wren" Odoms, Lamar Odoms, Lamont Odoms, Markese Odoms, and Angelique "Little" Langlet.
