Mark was a motivator, a huge personality and at 6'5" with the nickname "Monster" was the biggest teddy bear of a guy you could meet. Mark was kind, compassionate, and funny. His love for others shined through in every facet of his life. It didn't matter where he went, he always knew a friend or two. Mark will be missed dearly by everyone who met him.
