Mark was born on October 6, 1958, in Mount Pleasant, Texas, to James and Mary Lynn Lain. He grew up in White Oak, Texas, graduating from White Oak High School in 1977. After graduation, he began his career at Lone Star Steel Company before working at TMPA in Carlos, Texas. He later relocated to Austin, where he served as a technician for the City of Austin until his retirement. Throughout his career, Mark earned numerous commendations and credits for his accomplishments.

A devoted member of the Church of Christ, Mark’s life was grounded in faith, family, and friendship. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dana Lain of Austin, and his parents, James and Mary Lynn Lain of White Oak.
