Dear Darlene, Jenn and Family,
Mark was surely a great friend and a loving father and husband. He was always around willing to help if you needed him. I have known Mark for years and he always had a contagious smile. Just knowing Mark has made a great impact on my life and I'm sure he has done this for many. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

This is heartbreaking. I wish this wasn't true. I knew Mark from high school. Such a caring, friendly person. Always happy and making people smile.
I will pray for his wife and family. This is definitely a loss many are going to feel for a long time.

My condolences to Mark’s family. My heart was shattered when I heard the news from my provider. He knew Mark and I went to high school together and he wanted to let me know personally of my classmate. I met him and his wife when our paths crossed the over last few years and no matter how Mark was feeling he was always smiling. He will truly be missed by all is an understatement.
