Mark was an amazing husband, father, son, brother and friend who brought so much joy to each of our lives. He spent quality time with his loved ones whether throwing a football with his son, or camping and hiking with his daughter. He let each of us know how much he loved us. Mark will be in our heart and soul forever. He is survived by his wife, Cindy; his children, Sheylyn and Brendon; his Godson, Stephen Tafoya; his parents, Bernie and Frances Kyllo; his siblings, Bruce Kyllo, Kathy Goetz, Wanda Powell, and Becky Denning; and his extended Duran family.
