Prayers for the family and all that were lucky enough to call him a friend. My heart is broken. Mark always had a smile on his face and a joke to put one on yours. He will be greatly missed. I use to joke with him and his climate controlled room. He'd laugh and say , "yeah it's to cold out here I need to get in my heated room". I will miss him.💔
You were a great person. I hope you are rejoicing in heaven today. I pray for your family and rest in peace.
I don't know where to begin. I met Mark when I was 10 years old. He was a friend to my whole family, there are 6 of us kids. I loved Mark dearly. I am still in disbelief. Mark could always make me laugh and when I was having a bad day, he could make me smile. Mark always loved the band KISS. Especially Gene Simmons. I will miss Mark very much. He sent me a picture a few years ago of us as teenagers. I hadn't seen it since it was taken. Mark was the sweetest friend. He loved life and loved to make people laugh and smile. Mark, I'll see you on the other side. Til then, I'll miss our conversations. Love you bunches. Leslie
It's so hard to believe your gone, it was just the other day we were talking about racing. Mark I love you like a brother, you will be missed .Until we meet again love you
