Our Prayers and condolences go out to Marks family. He will be missed by many, he was one I a million and could start a conversation with anyone. I will never forget all of the phone calls and texts I received as "The" Ohio State football team beat up on our Badgers every year.

This is a very tough one because I saw Mark on a couple of occasions during the past few years at our high school gatherings and he greatly suffered through this. I also communicated with him through texts. He was a good person, a funny person and a very smart person. He will be missed by many. Prayers and thoughts to his family. RIP, Mark. You did good.

Heartfelt sympathies to all of you.

I went to St. William's with Mark. My mom also helped take care of your grandmother when she was with Chuck & Mary Kay.

Comforting hugs and may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
