There are so many memories but I will never forget when I was probably 9 or 10 up in Clearlake and Uncle Mark took us for a ride on the Catamaran. Somehow we flipped! We thought it was the GREATEST thing ever and Grandma Betty was SO MAD at Uncle Mark.i kept telling gramma Betty “ it was so fun don’t be mad”. She was a pistol. There are so many memories over these so many years. My dad thought he was the best guy ever. Best Bros🤗 Uncle Mark had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. I miss him so much. Love you always. My heart goes out to all that knew him😘💕❌⭕️❌⭕️

I met Mark later in his life, but it didn’t take long to see the kind of man he was. He had a genuinely kind heart, a positive spirit, and a way of making people feel welcome. He greeted everyone with a warm smile and a firm handshake, and he carried himself with a quiet goodness that left a lasting impression.

Mark made a difference in the lives of those around him and in his community, simply by being himself. I feel grateful to have known him, and he will truly be missed.

I have so many sweet memories of Mark. He used to show up at our house unexpectedly with an armload of groceries from Costco or plant flowers in our yard without our knowing. He loved taking care of us and was so thoughtful and generous with his time.

Once, when I had a horrible migraine at work, he came to pick me up. I was so nauseous and vomited right into my lunch bag- it was miserable, but he cleaned me up and brought me home. I protested his help, but he insisted on taking care of me like a daughter.

His time with us was far too short but his generosity of spirit, humor and playfulness live on. ❤️

Mark was the coolest and most genuine person I had the pleasure of spending time with. He inspired me in countless ways, and is the reason behind so many of my present interests and hobbies. I hope that Mark is remembered for all of the amazing impacts he’s had on friends and family, in my heart he will be remembered for how much he cared for me and inspired me. May he rest in peace, and finally be reunited with his parents and brother who loved him so dearly. Love you and miss you forever Mark.
