I will always remember the days we spent in his garage fixing dents and sanding the 67 Chevy pickup I bought from him then painting one half of the truck at a time because the whole truck wouldnt fit in the garage. I have so many fond memories of Mark thanks buddy.

Daddy,
I miss you so much, everyday. I just wish I could hug you one more time. Since you left, I have good days and bad days... I think about you all the time and I live with a purpose now that you couldn't have explained to me when you were here, an integrity I didn't know I had. Your memory and legacy give me strength and light my path every second... it's my silver lining. Thank you for being my hero and giving me the best life you could, you will always be a lion among men. Please tell both Gramma's that I say hi. I will see you all again someday. I will love you forever.

Mark was an awesome guy and a great friend that I had lost contact with. I remember the basketball games in our driveway and all the times we worked on friends cars in his garage and his help painting my old Chevy. He is one person who will be greatly missed. My prayers are with Susie and the family.

Mark was my brother-in-law, the best husband to my sister and father to not only his own children, Jason and Vanessa, but to all his other kids... Shawn and Chris and most especially his niece, Sara Sue, who loved him and truly misses him.He was a great friend to all who knew him. The most honest person you will ever find. I loved him.
