Dear Marks' family and friends.
It is with great sadness that I learned the passing of Mark.
I have met Mark a couple of times when I came to Cedar Rapids, we spent some diner and evenings together, and today I remember all the very passionate and interesting chats we had about all kind of outdoor sports and activities, we discussed plans to ski together one day, here in Switzerland or anywhere else, just to have some good time together, but that wont happen no more.
When someone you like becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure - Mark will remain in my memory as the nice guy he was and the pleasure to be around him.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
