Mark spent a lot of time in the classroom I shared with Bonnie Weiss, and we both enjoyed his gentle spirit and passionate engagement. As the mother of two sons, I cannot imagine your loss, Gretchen, but I can imagine your pride at raising such an exceptional young man.

Gretchen and Corinne,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mark has always been a tremendous presence-well before he became physically so imposing his warmth, spirit, and energy lit up any room (even a room as large as the band room).

I am heartbroken that he has left us, and can only imagine your grief and sadness. I know that all the fond memories of Mark's adventures with you will comfort you as you grieve. I hope you can also find some comfort in the certainly that Mark made such an incredibly positive impact on all of us who were fortunate enough to know him. In addition to his importance to the NSHS Marching Band, I fondly recall all of the times Mark would stick around after rehearsals to joyfully play piano and sing, or simply to hang out among friends. It was my privilege to know him and to teach him, and it has been incredible to see how much living Mark accomplished in his time since high school. His profound impact on the world has been and will continue to be inspirational.

I am sorry that I won't be able to attend the services, as I am traveling, but please know that I will be there is spirit. Mark's energy will always be with those who were lucky enough to know him.

With deepest condolences,
Gerry Gagnon

As a member of the babysitting co-op, I spent many hours with both Mark and Corinne as children. Mark was a quiet child (at least with me) who had an infectious grin that warmed my heartt. Always cooperative, polite and a delight to be with. I remember hearing him play piano, with great passion and gusto, at a Pollard Miidle School performance, to the enthusiastic applause of peers and parents alike. He took center stage!

I can't imagine the heartbreak that you, Gretchen and Corinne and his beloved fiancé, are going through now. Know that Lee and I extend comforting thoughts your way. Rosalie Fox

i was Mark's sixth grade teacher and it breaks my heart to learn the world has lost a remarkable young man. Mark distinguished himself as an outstanding student, always striving his best to achieve his many successes. More importantly, Mark was one of the most charismatic, kindest and joyful students I have ever been blessed to teach. His radiant smile and "light" will remain forever in my most fondest memories. My heartfelt sympathy is extended to his beloved family and fiancee.

Mark was a staple to the Town of Needham. He had a huge heart and always cared about his friends and family. I remember him as far back as Pollard Middle school and completing projects with him in high school. He always strived to bring out the best in everyone he met. He will truly be missed by all! Rest In Peace Mark!
