Mark was always so polite and positive. He always wore a smile and was a good friend to our son Dan. Mark was a kind soul. I was friends with him on FB and it was very clear how much he loved his daughter. Blessings to all of Mark's family and may he rest in peace.

Mark,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am also sorry I can't attend the service. Unfortunately my job does not give time off for cousins and I am scheduled to work. I wish we were a closer family and that I had met Marky as an adult. Love and Hugs,
Your cousin,
Terry and Garry Norman

I hadn't seen Mark in some time but it was no more than a week ago that I was telling my girlfriend a story about him and the gallon challenge he performed at work. Brought a huge smile to my face. He'll be remembered. Condolences to the family.
