Mark was always so kind and had so much fun. When I would hang out with Mark , Mike and John wr would play with the Gi Joes he had. "Still don't know where the joes are". He also taught me about drawing faces and drawing in general . I will never forget that and use it to help teach others now. I am truly at a lose of words. But I know I will miss Mark and all that he did in this world. Thank you Mark.

I met Mark from Almira when she and I were growing up. Mark always had a smile on his face, and was such a kind and friendly person. Thank you for always making me feel welcomed. Mark, may you Rest in Peace. I extend my deepest condolences to Mark's family and friends. 

Mark, there aren't enough words to describe what you meant to us. You were everyone's big brother, the responsible one, the one who made sure everyone was okay, the one who gave the best directions, the one who made sure we always learned something new or experienced something we never would have, the math wiz, the comedian. Losing such a beautiful presence is indescribable but we were so lucky to meet you. And even luckier to meet Zoila and now Princess Jasmine.  Our Disney adventures are some of the most amazing memories and I am so grateful to have all of them. You were the big brother I never had, and we will miss you. 

Mark's personality was as bright as his smile.  His kind-hearted nature and genuine care and love for his family, friends, co-workers, and patients made Mark a shinning star in the Diagnostic Imaging Department at Kaiser Panorama City.  Mark had a magical way with people and effortlessly spread kindness wherever he was.  Mark will forever be missed and will continue to smile on all of us.

We met Mark through his High School Friend Nik.  Nik started dating our daughter Jennifer, and he instantly became part of our family. He often stopped by our house to do his homework and enjoy a meal with us. 
Mark's smile and  good nature was contagious and would fill  any room!  We have sweet memories that make us smile and quiet moments that give us peace.  Please know that he will continue to be in our memories and thoughts.

I have known Mark since the fifth grade. He is genuine, always wearing a smile, compassionate, and kind. I remember chatting with Mark at our tenth high school reunion and it was like no time passed at all. The world lost a bright soul the day you passed but I’m sure you are shining bright in Heaven.

My heart aches for your loss and grief. Mark was a student at Kaiser Woodland Hills when I worked there and I am privileged to have called him my friend. Hard working and gracious, he was a joy to work with and had a work ethic to admire. The world is less of a good place without him in it.

The one thing I want to always remember about Mark is he always had a big smile on his face and he always seemed to be so happy (ok two things) after marrying ❤ Zoila his smile became even brighter. 

Mark, 
Thank you for making my sister the most happiest woman for the years she was able to share with you as a friend, husband and father. You gave her the light she needed since the day you met each other and have left her the reason to keep going with Jasmine by her side. Thank you for giving us always such a welcoming smile, for being the fun brother in law in the gatherings, going out to eat or movies. You have left us lovely memories that we will carry for the rest of our lives. Mark, Rest at peace as you gave it your all for these past years showing your will to keep going.  You’re dearly missed cuñado & compadre. 

To Live In Hearts We Leave Behind, Is Not To Die. 

I have so many fond memories of Mark and keep replaying those in my head, just thinking of him makes me smile.  Mark had an infectious smile and laugh and could light up any room.  He had a propensity to make everyone laugh around him and thrived on making life fun.  He truly did make people around him better, he was always helpful and enjoyed being around people.  I hope Jasmine grows up to enjoy life to the fullest like her dad did and always making people smile.

I have so many fond memories with Mark. He was such a wonderful person, always smiling and good natured.  We had so many great adventures throughout high school and college, like when we would play lazer tag at the park or playing endless hours of Starcraft and Ultima Online. I'll never forget you Mark and am so thankful to have known you. RIP

Mark was basically my other brother, since he was my brother’s best friend. He was a huge part of our family and all the great memories I have of Mark are all the vacations he went on with my family, especially to Cabo San Lucas. He was always the life of the party and always had a huge smile on his face. He was so easygoing and always knew how to have so much fun. If Mark was around you knew you would have such a blast. I will never forget all the good times and laughs with Mark.
