On April 29 Mark went to be with his Heavenly Father and re-unite with his son Jason. Mark was an amazing person who always loved whole heartedly. He always had a smile and knew how to make you laugh. Mark had the biggest heart and would make everyone feel loved, he was always there when someone needed a smile, a hug, or a laugh. Mark loved his family, and had been enjoying spending time with his grandkids. Everyone has fond memories of him listening to his Metallica music.
