Mark was one of my favorite customers. He almost always had a smile on his face. I know Mark will be missed by many people. May he rest in peace.

Saying gone too soon just doesn't sum it up.  Mark you will leave such an empty space in so many lives.  I will miss swapping bbq and bonfire tips; debating every topic under the sun especially music! Thank you for all the car maintenance help and tips and most of all thank you for loving my friend and her kids with all you had. May you find the perfect potato recipe and NASCAR line up.  I will miss you my friend.

Thank you Mark for your friendship, laughter and kindness.  I have been lucky to see the love you shared with Lori and enjoyed seeing how many lives you touched.  You will be missed.

Mark you woulda laughed if you saw how many times I said "bro" on your fb page the night we all found out.  I was just leaving our work Christmas party when I got the call.  Needless to say immediate and unexpected sorrow doesn't mix well with Southern and tequila.  I'll miss you dude, we all will.

What can you say about someone who has been such a special part of your life for so many years?  You will be missed is such an understatement.  Life will not be the same without you in it.  You were so loved, I hope you always knew that.  Love, Cheryl, Paige & Tiffany

Mark was always a pleasure to be around. May God comfort his family and friends.

as long as i'm alive your memory will be too.

I didn't get to know Mark very well. I met him several times and knew he was fun to be around, funny. I knew he had a lot of friends. I really only got to know him after he was gone, in seeing all the people he had touched in a positive way, in seeing him through the eyes of those who were close to him. It seems he was always helping everyone in some way. At first I wondered, doing all that, how he had time for his own life, but then, I realized that was his life. That was Mark, always doing for others.He was special to and loved by so many people. He's left so much of himself behind in all those people. My heart goes out to his family and all those he loved.

I sit around and wonder,
and watch the days go by.
I look at all the pictures,
and ask, why did you have to die?

You've always been there for me,
because you were my friend,
and I was always there for you
until the very end.

But now it's time to let you go,
your spirit now is free.
Even though you won't really be gone,
because you'll live inside of me.

So when we have to leave you
at your resting place,
I will always remember
your smiling, beautiful face.

This is hardly a goodbye,
so I won't weep anymore,
because now you're in better place
then you ever were before.

Even though that I will miss you,
and I'll think about you everyday
you'll always be my close friend,
and that's all I that I can say.

I love you Mark, 
Love Deb
