My Condolences and prays for the family. Although a year or 2 behind me at St. Anne's, I worked with Mark at a couple of stores. Always fun and I always knew I was safe when he was around. You are missed.

I have great memories of Mark at St. Anne's. He was one of the funniest people I've ever known. I can remember Mark holding court and; there would be a circle of kids around him, completely entranced and, laughing hystericaly. He was a brilliantly funny and charismatic kid. I haven't seen him in a long time; but, none the less, I know the world is different without him. God bless you, Mark!

Condolences to the Brennan Family form everyone in the Produce department at Andronicos Market! We loved Mark for exceptional customer service, his hard work ethics, but most of all his comedic personality! He always kept us laughing no matter what! It just made working there a pleasure!

Mark was a great brother in law and uncle to my children. We will miss his joyful attitude and enthusiasm. He was always willing to take my boys on adventures and fun outings. He encouraged their love of golf and was a patient teacher. We enjoyed his company on many vacations in Lake County. Our whole family is blessed to have had him in our lives. We will miss him tremendously. Rest in Peace, dear Mark. The Rivero family will never forget how special you were.

The last message I received from Mark.

"This life is hard but I think it's like you said last time, there's little times where it makes it all worth it. And you're so right. I love those times and when they hit I totally cherish them and live in the moment and enjoy them to the fullest. What a trip we're looking at the same sky. I think about that when I look at the moon, sometimes that people in other countries are looking at the same Moon."

Mark, God speed. We are definitely looking at the same Moon. See you in heaven my friend.

My condolences to the Brennan family.

Mark and I were as thick as thieves when we were in high school. We worked at the store together and shared our youth with each other. He was a great friend. So sad to learn of his passing. Rest in peace Mark.
