Mark is missed very much.  Our tennis group at HSTA toasted him tonight 01-28-2024....the 5th anniversary of his passing.  I was fortunate to play with and against Mark for almost 15 years and always enjoyed our matches and friendship off the court.  RIP Mark.

It has been a little over a year since my main tennis partner and friend Mark passed away. He is missed. Team Speed FOREVER!!!

I just learned of Mark’ s passing this week and I am very sad to hear this! Sorry to the family! I met Mark 11  roughly years ago at work where he worked for Wali Architects and we provided civil engineering services.  Once he started his on firm - He always referred us jobs up to last year! Mark was a man of honor - pleasant always - professional - thourogh plus a great personality !! I will miss him !!! 

I, too, am a tennis friend of Mark.  We were supposed to be Tennis Directors for HSTA this year because he had never volunteered previously and I shamed him into it! He reached out to me a couple of years ago when he told me he was concerned about his diet and exercise.  I encouraged him to have a detailed physical but he didn’t do it citing lack of health insurance. I have the shoe calendar that he brought to this year’s HSTA White Elephant Party and will keep recycling it in his honor.  He was taken from us way too soon and that is a tragedy.  My sincere condolences to Mark’s parents, family, and of course, Adrian.  Mark will be greatly missed by all of us.

I have known Mark for at least ten years.  We met thru tennis and played many, many times together and against each other often times in the social mixers.  Mark and i played doubles league together a few times and we also played a few tennis tournaments (doubles) together.  The last one was at Westheimer Indoor last year.  We always played very well together and would many times share a meal together afterwards.  Mark and I really enjoyed great conversations together.   Mark was indeed a friend and a great and kind person.  I was recently not receiving a pay-check due to being a federal employee and Mark sent me a text that simply said, "hang in there Alex."  That was Mark, being a friend and giving me some much needed encouragement. 

Well my friend, I'm going to miss you.  I will always cherish our moments together.  And the fact that you never missed an overhead in tennis!!  I hope and pray that you are in the arms of Jesus in heaven.  In that case, I know I will see you again.  That is our blessed promise as believers in Christ.  May the Lord bring comfort and peace to your family.   

Mark and I often played tennis as partners even though I am not his level.
He never said no whenever I’d ask him to be my partner.
He was a great friend and partner who would never get mad or criticized  my tennis skills.
He showed up and carried me so we would always have fun and share some laughs.

You will be greatly missed!!!!
RIP my dear friend!!!

Condolences and prayers to all of the Schuller family and Adrian.  

I met Mark at City Club  during one of Bob Lahti's Friday Night Social some 15+ years ago.  During that time, we became close friends, tennis partners and competitors with and against each other.   We shared some wins, some losses and many, many laughs often at the expense of the team we were playing.  Mark was a competitor and was quite the character on the court.  The longer the point went, he was determined to win it no matter how difficult the shot he had to come up with.  And many times, despite his size, he could get to most shots and put it back over the net for the winner!  And if you hit the short lob to him, well, see ya' later....point over!    We also enjoyed playing league together one season.  Mostly, we played the Friday and Sunday socials.  I was shocked and very saddened by his untimely passing and will miss his jokes, his laughter and wry sense of humor.  May the Lord Jesus Christ wrap His loving arms around you and give you His peace and grace.  My prayers are with your family and many, many friends.  I will miss you each time I walk out onto the courts, my friend.

Met Mark thru tennis and he also joined our dart league for a number of years.  He was, indeed, very competitive in his sports yet I am sure that he also loved the social aspect and camaraderie, just as much as playing.  I had many fun concert experiences with Mark because he loved good music and, in fact, turned me on to one of my favorite Blues men, Eric Bibbs.  He and Adrian joined me at the House of Blues for a Keb Mo and G Love concert and a number of other venues.  Sting, in the Woodlands, unforgettable!
He had a quick wit and infectious laugh but was also very inquisitive about learning about just about everything!  Loved to travel, loved his car, his gal, Adrian, his family and his many, many friends.  I'm really going to miss those texts and posts, good tunes, so Mark, aka: Chubbacca, save those until we meet again!  Your pal, Shelley.


I played tennis with Mark and he was also on our USTA league team.  Mark is competitive and always gave 100%+ as a partner.  Mark and I shared many texts as well as time on the court.  He always reached out on new restaurants to try and always had a curiosity for new experiences.  On Fridays he would text that it was Thai Friday and we would discuss the best spots in town.  Mark always reached out and we shared travel experiences and great photos.  On Sunday, Jan 28, I shared photos from Tasmania and Australia and he always had a cute remark like if I saw any Pandas or Koalas.  I will miss Mark dearly.  With the news of Mark's passing, I have learned that Mark has texted many of our friends and he made each person feel special.  We will miss you Mark and pray for you and your family.

Mark and I played tennis together for many years.  He and I talked about many life's mysteries and we had several discussions on Jesus Christ our savior.   I know the tennis community and I especially will miss him.  Sorry for the family's loss and I will have them in my prayers.
