Mark was a fun-loving, kind, and thoughtful man who had a way of charming anyone he crossed paths with and his presence brought laughter and warmth wherever he went.

Mark was always a handy-man, restoring things and finding new projects. He dedicated the majority of his work life doing auto body repairs. Mark spent most of his time surrounded by family and friends, making new memories, sharing stories and a generous amount of laughter with the people he loved.
