Mark was a genius when it came to woodworking. While at Huttig Sash and Door in Harahan, Louisiana, Mark landed and sold all the remodeling items for 1,100 rooms at the Sheraton New Orleans hotel.

To Mark's family and friends,
My long overdue condolences to each of you. I was told of Marks passing shortly afterwards and had been to this site a few times to post my respects. The words could not come to me then, so I said nothing at the time. Now, I am filled with regret for this inaction. Along with Rick Guidry, Mark and I attended Rummel as Junior/Seniors, along with the trip to Florida. I remember him always having a smile on his face, along with an exuberant personality.
I hope if you receive a notification of this update to his tribute, it will serve that he has not been forgotten, but a cherished part of my life.

To Mark's family,
He and you all will be within my prayers. I was saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. He was SUCH a beautiful person and a good friend during my time at UNO and with Phi Kappa Theta as a little sister. His sense of humor and smile were always there. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

Dear Mr and Ms Laborde and Brian, I am deeply saddened to learn of Mark's passing. As juniors and seniors at Rummel, Mark and I became friends. We were always laughing! Mark used to always crack up when I would imitate Mick Jagger. I called him "Canon"(The 70's TV detective) when he would drive that big green Ford LTD. We also shared a high school graduation trip in Ft Walton Beach. I will always remember Mark as a good guy with a hilarious sense of humor. It is a blessing to have known Mark. He has given us all priceless memories. The Laborde family has my sincere thoughts and prayers. May your faith in God empower you now and moving forward.

From the Woodruff family, we were sorry to hear of the passing of your son.
We know that it is a difficult time for you, Lackey and your family.
We offer our prayers for him and we offer prayers for the surviving family.
At times such as these, others feel as though we could do more but we also know that it is a time for you to cope and live on beyond this time in your lives.
I am reminded of something that someone shared with me many years ago about the loss of someone very close and dear:
“Be thankful that God placed your loved one in your life. For the rest of your life do not count your losses but your blessings that you had the opportunity to have loved the person for as long as you did during life. If our living is worth anything, it is for our blessings endowed by God. For our blessings and for our strength, we invoke the name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for He did not make loving simple – He made loving everlasting.”
God bless you and your family from the Woodruff family.

It is with great sadness that I heard of Mark's passing. He was a good friend and we always had so many terrific times together. He was a great fraternity brother, and took good care of me. I will remember his smile and laughter, his obnoxious sense of humor, and his always telling me, "Breaks aren't given at this window!" My life is the richer for having known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Joel and I are at a complete loss as to what to say to comfort you at this sad time. But, just know that we are here and available if you need us at any time. Although, we had only been around Mark a few times, we found him to be a likeable person. He was a very talented man. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and Matthew and Mark's parents this week. We will continue praying for all of you. God bless you. We love you, Angelle.

May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you during your period of grief. It is not easy to lose a loved one; but may Mark's passing from this world to the next be a stepping stone to his memory and not a stumbling block. Just having known Mark as a fellow Phi Kappa Theta has certainly enriched my life. I know that he has certainly blessed others more.
Fraternally Yours In Christ,
