My memories are mostly from way back but Mark was always happy, kind and gentle natured.  He was the literal definition of a joy to be around.  Rest in paradise big bro. 🙏

Well where do I be begin? I met Mark 2015 when I was assigned to be his Direct Care Supervisor at his home, where  he lived with his two roommates Justin & Chris. Mark has always been a laid back guy. In his household, he was always the first person up for the day. He’d come in the kitchen to greet me good morning. And make his routine cup of coffee and converse about his favorite news station Fox 59. He would express his views on how the world can be a wicked place. Mark loved Western movies, the Andy Griffin show, Storage Wars & Animal Planet. He once expressed to me how distraught he was,when  the Crocodile Hunter fatality died from a stingray bite.  Mark was mild mannered and slow to anger. His kindness and friendly demeanor will truly be missed. 

I met Mark when he came for family Christmas on St Simons Island. We had bought him gifts and were excited to meet him. Mark opened his presents with child wonder and for the rest of the day, my son played with him. He appreciated everything and was so sweet. I hoped That I would See him again but that wasn’t possible. I prayed for Mark in all his situations. God has special plans for his child , Mark. 

I miss you buddy. You were a great brother.  I know you are whole and healthy now. Knowing this makes it a little easier to get through your passing.  ❤️
