I worked with Mark at Heska and considered him a good friend. We spent a lot of time together. Road trips, golf, playing cards, and of course talking baseball. I am going to miss him dearly. Mark was kind, generous, and very honest. He would do anything for a friend. He will always live in my memories and my heart. My deepest sympathies.

Family of Mark. I attended Grand View University with Mark and was his teammate and friend. He was the most talented baseball player I've ever seen on a baseball field.
On behalf of all his teammates at Grand View please accept our deepest sympathies.
