I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Mark from the youth group days at Ressurection church. I remember he had strong convictions and a passion for justice. At the same time he had great sense of humor and was a fun guy to be around. Mark was always willing to lend a helping hand when something needed to get done and he did it with a positive attitude. He had inherent leadership qualities and I remember thinking at that time that he would definitely make an difference in the world and be a light in the darkness for others to follow. May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus during this time of sorrow. You are in my daily prayers.

Annie, Terry, Ryan and Kristi, I am so sorry for your loss. I do not know Mark but from the small amount I read about him, it is clear he had a big heart and filled up the room and the lives of the people who loved him. This world is a better place because of him. I have a son and if he becomes half the man that Mark was, I will be so proud. I will keep you in my prayers. Mary Tantillo

Mark was more than just a cousin, he was a role model. Simply put he was an all-around superstar. Mark's gift was connecting with people and his charisma could light up any room. We will miss you until we meet again. Love you brother!

An outstanding Marine that will forever be missed. It was a pleasure to have such a professional in Alpha Co during our tour in Iraq. Always fun to have around but could get down to business without skipping a beat. Rest in Peace, Brother.
