Mark was a dear friend beginning in my college years, meeting at S.C.A.M.P.S.
A Christian Campus Ministry. So many memories of Mark, his wife Becky and brother Chris.
My heart goes out to his family on the loss of Mark. A good Christian man who has found his reward in Heaven.
His contagious smile and positive attitude will be greatly missed by all.
Until we meet again,
Love your sister in Christ

I knew Mark as a childhood friend, at Thornton Elementary School, and many years later became re-acquainted through Christian Student Fellowship (CSF at Indiana State, formerly SCAMPS) and also via lunches his church provided free to the public in West Terre Haute. Mark had a pleasant, welcoming personality and was a true Christian.

I'm very saddened to learn of his passing, especially at such a young age. I offer sincere prayers and condolences to his family. God Bless.
