Mark was born July 13th, 1949 in Richmond, CA, and was predeceased by his father, Herman Kerber, and his mother, Marilou Kerber. He is survived by his wife, Jene Craggs-Kerber, his four-legged best friend Stella, stepchildren David and Sarah Craggs, sister Karla Thompson and brother-in-law Ronald Thompson of Woodenville, WA, niece Kimberly Thompson, nephew Matthew Thompson, grandnieces Alexa Quay and Everly Chiles, and grandnephew Colton Thompson. Mark attended Clayton Valley High School in Concord, CA, and went on to major in Business, and Teachers Education at San Francisco State College where he was the very lively student body president. He started his own Allstate Insurance agency in Incline Village, NV, which led to him traveling the world as an envoy for Allstate Insurance. He eventually opened an Allstate Insurance Agency in Sparks, NV. During Mark's years working in insurance he received numerous awards and recognitions from Allstate. Mark was a dynamic person; a Rotary Club member, an expert skier, a Harley-Davidson enthusiast, a certified Master Scuba diver, a skeet shooter par excellent, and he loved to spend his summer days boating on Lake Tahoe with his friends and family. Mark had a magnitude of friends because of his magnetic personality, and throughout his illness he maintained an adventurous lifestyle and positive outlook.

Mark, I remember you going for a ride in my Porsche that one afternoon. I didn't think that car could take the corner like that.
Some fun times out on the lake. You were a good friend, good memories and great life advice you gave to my nephew who wants to get into the insurance business.

Mark you always told me that if you ride motorcycles some day you will fall off. It happened this morning on your one year anniversary in Bali with Kimbee. Thanks for looking out for us, we only got huge road rash. Love and miss you buddy.

Mark, I always think of you whenever I look at my one and only tattoo. What a lasting memory of my wonderful friend. We shared so many laughs and so much silliness. Sturgis in the old folks campground. You and me and Yon crammed in the Benz after Mardi Gras party at the Pub. The not a Harley v-rod. Love you buddy,Cakes

I remember Mark when we competed against each other in the insurance business at Lake Tahoe in the 90's. He was a worthy opponent. I often commented to him on his fast lifestyle i.e., fast boats and cars. He was a fun guy and I enjoyed listening to his many stories. I haven't seen him in years and often wondered what ever happened of him. My condolences go out to his entire family. Godspeed Mark
