  1. Candle 8Sorry for everyone’s loss. Mark will truly be missed even though he was a pain in my butt sometimes. Rest easy my friend & fly high our angel.

  2. Mark Jr and I were best friends growing up. Mark was a second dad to me growing up. If I needed anything he was always there for me. He treated me like his own. I hadn’t spoken to him in quite a while but I know if I needed anything he still would have done anything to help me out. He will be sorely missed.

  3. Charlie and family,
    I am sad to read of Mark’s passing. Thinking of you and the memories I have of Mark.
