Mark never missed a chance to brighten someone’s day with a smile or laugh. He had a kind heart and would reach out to anyone who was feeling down or sad. His entertaining personality will be remembered by anyone who knew him. Even when his life was limited by his seizure disorder, he was able to smile and make the best of a difficult situation. He tried his best to live as normal a college life as he could. He was the kind of young man we were proud to call son, brother or friend.

We want to thank each and every person who helped Mark try to achieve a normal life – his family, friends, teachers, coaches, teammates, bosses, co-workers, and even strangers. He loved you all so much.

Mark spent many hours working at this favorite job at Pecan Acres Vet Clinic.
