I had the opportunity to work with Mark this year. He was so open and welcoming with the change of me being his new sales rep. I really enjoyed working with him.

He will now be watching over the whole family every day whispering words of encouragement and support.

Mark was a nice young man. I first met him in 1992 when he came to work for us in Clayton at 1st Equity Funding. He was well-liked by everyone.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mark’s family during this extremely difficult time. I worked with Mark for years closing loans for him while he was at NASB. Fifteen years, two homes and 25 refinances later, he was still the only person I would work with. Mark’s professionalism was unmatched and he was highly respected in the industry. I’m shocked and saddened by the loss of such a good man, who has been taken from us too early.

One of the things I loved about Mark was his sense of humor. He had the ability to make the funniest remarks with a completely straight face. If you were not listening well, you would miss it. One of the true
