Our deepest sympathy to all of Mark’s family,we have been neighbors for about 20 years,we always look forward to see all your Halloween creations and hear you playing your guitar,we were amazed by your art work, you always had a very welcoming personality and we really appreciated that ,you would always have a joke about your Dolphins…Mark you would truly be missed… Keith,Mel , Ashley and family,Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Mark was a dear friend, a way-shower to many in a common fellowship and a faithful and loving son. I will miss his ability to turn my frown upside down and remind me there is a Higher Power in charge of all that seemingly was wrong at that moment. He fought hard to stay, but in the end, he accepted his journey had come to the end. He will be an Angel to many I’m quite certain!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
