Whether through his time, his work, or his acts of service, he gave his whole heart to everything he did. He was a fighter in every sense of the word, meeting life's challenges with determination, resilience, and strength.

He found joy in the simple things: spending time outdoors, caring for his beloved dogs Gus and Winnie, and enjoying his favorite Smarties candies.

Woodworking was his specialty, and many of his creations stand today as lasting reminders of his talent, patience, and love.

His kindness, craftsmanship, humor, and unwavering love for family and friends will never be forgotten.While our hearts are broken by his loss, we are grateful for the memories he leaves behind and the example he set through a life well lived and generously shared.

Mark will be forever missed, forever loved, and forever remembered. We love you, Marky-Poo
