Condolence: Mark, you were always so full of life it seemed to burst from you. Impulsive, uninhibited, and quick to smile. You were a very caring, thoughtful friend and I am blessed to have known your big heart. You will be sorely missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to you and all those who must go on without you. May God bless you.

Condolence: My heart breaks for my dear niece, Aimee, her children and the complete family and friends of Mark. He was such a special man....he brought a true deep love and joy to Aimee, I have never seen her happier. He was amazing with all of her kids, which alone says so much about his character. His work at the food bank, again, says so much about his heart. This world will miss you and your loving kindness. You and Aimee were blessed to have each other for the short time you had together. Rest in peace at Home with Our Heavenly Father.

Condolence: I had the pleasure of knowing Mark when I worked at the ACSO DOJ and he was always a pleaure to be around. I am very very sorry for the family's loss and will be praying for you all.

Condolence: I will forever cherish our youth together. You were always so full of life, adventure, and the bravest person I knew. You were afraid of nothing. No bug, snake, or insect could escape your inquisitive hands or mind. I was always in awe at how you could catch dragon flies, butterflies, and moths while being so gentle that you could release them again. I remember you jumping to catch them off the close line. We played with your army men for an entire summer once. I bet we could dig some up now if we looked. All in the area were Mom and Harry planted those orange trees. Our memories are beneath those trees forever! I shared on your facebook about your "disbelief" that siblings fight. There were several times you jumped to my defense and told Troy he wasn't suppose to hit girls. Every time you did, you were my hero!! With this said, you are a terrific brother. You always were there for Elizabeth, looking out for her, protecting her, and you included her. She may not remember, but as soon as she could walk and your mom let her get dirty; we included her. We played closer to the house when she was with us, and "rarely" ever told her to go away. In my world siblings didn't act that way, and when you did, you again became my hero! I am sorry we didn't remain close as we became adults. I didn't stay in touch near enough, and let life build a barricade between us. I have never stopped loving you and thinking of you as my hero! I am so sorry you were in so much pain; I should have been a big sister and been there for you. I will forever regret not reaching out sooner; but I also know you, and know you would not have made your decision if you didn't feel it was the best thing for you. I can't wait to see you again! Rest in Peace, You are loved, cherished, and will forever live on in our hearts.
