It's been a year since your passing. I still drive by your house hoping to find the garage door open and you sitting there. I wish this were all a bad dream. Gosh I miss you! Your friend Neal,

I am a neighbor of Mark and very sad to hear this news. Mark was always a very friendly neighbor. My German Shepherd (Logan) loved to pull me down Marks driveway when he was sitting outside so that he could say hello. My thoughts are prayers go out to Marks family and loved ones. RIP Mark!

Mark was a very quiet person that had a rebel side to him. I most remember the motorcycle he rode in his senior year It seemed to be such a different person on that bike. He was a good friend and classmate for 12 years. Gonna miss you Mark

Mark was a great classmate for the 12 years of education at Larwill/South Whitley. He was very mechanically inclined and made use of it at Wilde Honda in Sarasota, FL. It is such a shame he was taken at such a young age but I guess the Lord needed him to help in Heaven. I hope you find your rest from the ALS and be at peace again. God Bless you and your family.
