While volunteering and serving his community proudly over the years he often mentioned to his family that if he were to win the lottery or become the "RockStar" BonJovi was, he would take care of them all, that's just the type of person Mark was. He always put others before himself. Such an incredible and loving man, who loved the Lord and prayed daily for anyone in need.
