My wife and I met Mark when buying and selling our homes. We immediately had a bond with Mark and considered him our friend. He always spoke of his family in a very loving manner and we know he will be missed dearly. Mark was a good man and loved by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.

Mark, you always had my back. If it was a guy giving me a problem or spotting me doing a back flip, you were always there! Just like, I did for you!! Fly high with the angels my friend. Rest in peace.
