I was very sad to hear the news about Mark, and am thinking of you Kellie. I remember when you two met in Australia, when you were on your marathon travel adventure. We enjoyed meeting him when he came to Colorado. I am sure there is a big hole in your heart.

Mark and I worked together for many years. I could always count on Mark for helping me out when I needed it. An unselfish guy, who was a pleasure to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kellie and their family.

My husband and I will miss Mark. He was such a wonderful man and helped me get into my first home. We will miss hearing his voice when he would call us for the holidays. Such a sad loss of a great man and our thoughts go to his family.

So saddened to hear of Mark's passing. He was an incredibly generous and kind man. His smile, positive attitude were like no other. He was our family Realtor and helped us through many, many,transactions, and above all he was a friend. Peace to you Mark and his beloved wife and son.

I'm so sad to hear this news. Mark has been a kind and generous friend to my family and our beloved Realtor since 1982. He recently sold my property in December 2016. Peace and much love to the family. Respect and love to Mark! Xo

Mark, We'll miss your calls to go grab a Vietnamese noodle bowl for lunch, and your always-ready smile. Gone much too soon and too quickly! We'll think of you often & fondly.

Mark is the kindest and most gentle soul! He was very dear to me. I will miss his calls every holiday and his joyous laugh. Kellie and Rob, you have my deepest condolences. I remember when Mark got me out of a speeding ticket in court when I was with 3 Australian dignitaries. It was my first ticket and he walked me through that experience like a father would. His service to our community was second to none. He will be sorely missed!
