Mark played a big role in my sons life when he was young,; he was great with kids. The three of us hung out together all the time and shared many a good time! Mark was my riding and mountain partner, we rode and hiked many miles.; we did our first fourteener together. Friends for 20 years! The best friend anyone could have, damn I'm gonna miss him! My thought and prayers go out to all his family and friends......

Mark was a loving son, a great brother, an amazing friend, a fantastic lineman, and stupendous story teller. His laugh could cure any foul mood and his capacity to care about his loved ones, was endless. His life was cut short, but his legacy of love and friendship will cross many life times. Mark will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him. Finding peace at a time like this is very difficult, but I take comfort in knowing that this grief may someday be replaced with the fond memories that we all have of Mark. His thoughtfulness, his infectious laugh, and the crazy ideas that turned into wonderful, hilarious stories. My heart and love go out to his family, who were always on his mind and in his heart.
