Mark was my brother and one of my best friends. We did everything together when we were young. There are too many stories to tell here but come up and have a cold beer and I can share them with you. Mark was a man that saw the good in everyone and loved life to the fullest. I hope I learned some of that from him but it's a "hard footprint to follow." He will be greatly missed by me but I know he is in a better place now hopefully putting in a good word for me.

One of my most favorite memories with Papa Mark was on a field trip to somewhere in Oakland. We had just arrived and mark being one of the funniest people I know decided he'd like to do a prank on some random stranger. He pulled over and immediately went into character pretending we were lost and asking this stranger if he knew how we could get to Oakland. With a completely straight face, mark was the best actor. Man, that guy took a good minute trying to figure out how to direct us before finally shouting "your in Oakland". I swear we all didn't miss a beat in sayingg oooh we are haha. Mark drives away and we all bust out laughing, god that was the most memorable part of that trip. Papa Mark was the best chaperone and being in the car with him was always the best part.

My Uncle, My Godfather, and my friend. Since I was a little, Uncle Mark was the go to Uncle for fun. On trips up to see family in Modesto, my siblings and I fought to be the one to ride up in his truck. We’d stop at least 3 times all the while listening to Michael Jackson’s thriller on cassette. I remember dancing with Uncle Mark at a wedding with my sister Michelle, we were about 6 and 8, I felt shy to be dancing so silly in front of all the people and Uncle Mark looked at me and took my hand and said, “you know what I think, as long as you’re not hurting anyone, who cares!” As I got older, Uncle Mark continued to be the cool Uncle, somehow making it through all of my and my sibling’s teen years without ever being uncool. He always had a smile, a joke and a positive outlook on life. I miss him. When I lost my Dad, Uncle Mark was there for me and I got to see a softer side of him. His words of faith and love during that time have always stuck with me and helped me greatly through it. I wish I also had his words now. I do know one thing for sure that he told me: live your life to the fullest and don’t let a day go by wasted; smile and be kind and patient even when it’s hard. I love you Uncle Mark and thank you for everything.

Mark was an exceptional human being. One of the happiest, positive, kind souls we ever met. We have many fond memories with him, and enjoyed his friendship the many years we were neighbors. He loved his family, and was a great father. We are so sad and heartbroken to hear about his passing. Nicole and Amanda you are in our prayers. I promise he is waiting for you on the other side. In the meantime, he is gone fishing!!

I have too many memories to pick from. The time my sister and I painted the pool when we were 5 & 6 and got paint all over the kitchen floor. The time my sister and I were 7 & 8, fighting in the bathroom and we accidentally flushed a brush down the toilet and it took my dad two hours to get out. The time we went fishing at Uncle Philip's and my sister and I both caught 9lb trouts and my dad got them mounted for us. How he volunteered to be a driver for EVERY school field trip I had and how all the kids wanted to come in our car because my dad would stop at the gas station and get us all soda and candy. The time I sang at the county fair and my mic went out but my dad kept cheering me so I didn't skip a beat. . The times we would go to work with him and he would get us hot chocolate at Denny's and sketch a pheasant or a trout on a napkin. When he took me to see Phantom of the Opera for my 13th birthday. The times dad would come to my high school performances. When he would pick me up or drop me off at my first job, working at a pizza parlor while I saved up for my first car. When he took me to buy my first car, and it was a 1989 purple Honda. That was hilarious. When we went to Disney World with Grandma Doris. When I took him to the Melting Pot for the first time. The one time he was EARLY (!) when I was delivering Lizzy in the hospital and he was the 3rd person to hold her. When we saw Jersey Boy's together in Portland. When we went cherry picking with Lizzy. When we went to Great Wolf Lodge together. And there are many many more.
