Hello again.
Oh my. Did I happen to mention ADHD which wasn't diagnosed until about age 50? So for the last two decades I've been trying to teach an old doug new trix.
After looking at the picture, I'm pretty sure he is not the same Mark.
That said, as an old Marine Veteran, I still offer my most humble & sincere condolences for your loss.
God bless you all. And I'm sorry for the mixup.

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the same Mark. He wrote Christian music? I bought something from him on ebay. He wrote me a note, along w sending me a CD of his. I'm not the best w personal organization skills. I've been going thru tub after tub of stuff I've been lugging around for 20+ yrs & found this note. Now i have to find his CD.
If this is the same man, then please know that I offer you my most humble & sincere condolences, as I am truly very sorry for your loss.
"The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Respectfully yours, doug Jacobson

Distance keeps me from attending services for my cousin Mark. He was always kind and polite to me when we would run into each other, Sometimes after my evening shift I would stop at BB's for tea and to say hello. He was almost always there at that time of night. We often spoke of our mothers and aging. He will always be in my heart as is his mother and his late sister. Rest in peace my dear cousin.

I want to express my most heartfelt sorrow for Heather & her entire family at this time for the loss of their father. Mark was truly one of a kind! He brought so much to so many. I have many fond memories and he is missed by this once young lady who had the privilege to be a sort of surrogate daughter. Thank you Mark for the taking us to Six Flags for our punishment! You'll forever be the hippest father who rocked that beret even in a speedo!
