My deepest sympathies on your loss. Mark was so kind and so uplifting for Robert and his family during Robert's illness. Mark was a fighter all the way through his illness just like Robert and I believe the two of them are now together sitting at the right hand of God looking after all of those they have left behind. Shelia Forsythe Butts (Robert's sister).

Mark and i went to school together.. we met in the 4th grade..... he was always such a cut up... he always had a smile on his face..one of the most memorable things about mark was that he didnt care about color.. or cliques.. or what you wore... or drove.. he was just a good ole boy.. with a big heart and smile for everyone he met... may GOD bless his family now... in the loss of this wonderful person.. and may you find comfort in knowing that he touched so many lives... with a smile.. and he will always be remembered in that way....
