Mark has been a wonderful friend since we were 16 years old. He always had a way of aggravating me and then we’d both laugh and try to figure out how to irritate each other again. We had a friendship that was always comfortable, kind and loving. I will miss him always but feel blessed to have had this special man as my friend.

I knew Mark in high school and would often see you both walking when I’d stop to see my parents. What a great guy Mark was. My condolences to you Sue and all of his family and friends.

Sue, I am so sorry for your lost. I just talked to him a couple months ago and had some great laughs. Mark was my laision in high school and my law enforcement partner for years. We use to get mad at each other when we took a vacation and lost our automatic backing up each other. The laughs we had were priceless. Mark was a great guy and will be missed!!!!
