What I learned from Mark is that God will be with us no matter what happens in life. It is never too late to ask Jesus to come into our life and take control.
God is good. His love endures forever.

Remembering all the car rides you gave me and Blake home from the mall/movies, and all of the countless laughs and jokes we shared over food and coffee. Heart is heavy. Rest easy 🤍

Mark helped save my life! Every Sunday morning coffee for 3 years. He taught me more than anything patience! I will miss him greatly!

Mark was my baby brother. We were 11 years apart and I wasn't involved in a lot of his growing up. I do have many memories, though. I remember he seemed to be Dad's 'favorite'! He never seemed to be disciplined as much as the rest of us! He was an excellent baseball player! Dad coached him through many Little League teams and nobody could throw a ball from third base to first base with quite the accuracy that Mark could! (Well, maybe Brooks Robinson could!!) He played ball for Ben Davis High School here in Indianapolis in their 'glory' years - as did my other 3 brothers.
I remember several 'episodes' of he teasing our down syndrome sister just enough where she would go after him and chase him down the hall! Then they would hug each other!! He really loved Susie and would look after her.
I'm so happy he found love and happiness with Karen, Halie, Blake and later on with Myah. I'm also so happy he found love and peace with God and knew He was waiting on the other side for him.
Love and Miss you, baby brother!

Mark and I were less than a year apart in age. I would text him on November 24 and tell him we were twins for four days. He usually replied with a twin remark. He got so much better about texting me on my birthday on Nov 28 the older we became. I have memories of growing up with Mark and hopefully helped put meaning behind his phrase “Don’t make me get Mars Hill on you “ to Blake and Halie. I am so happy he had such influence through AA to others and he knew Jesus so that those remaining can have some peace and assurance as to where he is. I envisioned him last week at our church worship time also singing HOLY HOLY to the Lord Almighty. 🎶 I did enjoy our phone conversations. Love you, Brother. Cindy

Mark was one of the original OG’s, a steady beacon of light in our home group. In my meditation, when I picture the great table where all the greats gather for the meeting in the sky, I see Mark there now, shining among them. Thank you Mark for staying and showing me how it’s done .

See you on the other side 🙏😇
