I want to express my deepest condolences to Mark’s entire family for the sudden and tragic loss of a beloved son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin and a genuinely good human being. I have very fond memories of Mark, his warm jovial smile, his genuine sincerity and good intentions, even if things didn’t always go as planned, he meant well. Mark was always there when someone needed a helping hand. When Mark was in a room full of people, or around the camp fire, you’d be sure to find him telling hilarious stories of the hijinks and shenanigans that him, his brothers and buddies got up to in their youth. He always cracked me up with a funny story. I know you’re up flying with the angels Mark, I’m sure there are some who would be skeptical, but those who love Mark, know it’s true. The reason I know, is because I knew Mark, or “Bubba” as he is fondly nicknamed, and he didn’t have a malicious bone in his body. I credit his mother and father, but mostly his mother, for teaching him how to love, how to be kind and to help others who are in need, for his gentle nature and his great big heart of gold. God bless you Bubba and all who love you. It is said that we each die twice, once when we draw our last breath and again when our name is spoken for the last time. May your name, Mark, remain in the heart and on the lips of those who love you and cherish your memory. In loving memory and deep fondness, you are missed Mark. Thank you for the memories Mark, with love, your friend,
Marion Brown ❤️
