Mark was quite a guy! Talented carpenter, outdoorsman, and dedicated to antiquing. He loved his family, nature, and his animals. He had a natural ability to meet people and made friends wherever he would go. Mark was a good brother and friend. I will miss him dearly and cherish the fond memories of him always. ❤ Rest in Peace brother.
I will truly miss Mark. He was a true friend and a very talented carpenter and roofer. He did the job one time and did it right. He accomplished many jobs for me. This just isn’t right…
