Mark was my cousin and best pal whenever I visited Salt Lake. We always went on an adventure to visit some far off ghost town, mountain pass, desert vista, or historical site. We looked for lost treasures, historical artifacts, fossils, and whatever else we could discover. Mark was a gentle man and a true friend with an innate curiosity about everything. Mark also had a great sense of humor and humility, and I remember laughing at his stories and predicaments many times over the years. Mark also was one a the few people to consistently visit my mother (his aunt Kay) when she was in an assisted living facility. This meant a great deal to my mother and I always appreciated his kindness. Even though it has been sometime now since Mark passed, it seems hard to believe that I cannot just pick up the phone and call him. Mark, thank you for your kindness and memories. Rest in peace my friend.

I lived with Mark for about 4 years as his step-son when I was a young child. Mark told me at his father's funeral a few years ago that I was the closest thing that he ever had to a son. He was the most stable father figure that I ever had.

My favorite memory of him was when he literally drove to church in reverse the whole way! (only a few blocks).

Other memories are:

Him meeting my real dad, and shaking his hand, a few weeks before Mark got married to my mother.

When he started watching a rented vhs tape of Revenge of the Nerds at like 3am one night, and I woke up and he let me watch it with him.

Waving to each other when I saw him driving the cement truck around a few times around town.

He once used a ball container (that you get when you buy a little prize in the little quarter machine at the grocery store) in his object lesson when he was teaching primary at church with my mother.

A couple of years after my mother and I moved out, he bought me a really cool gameboy game for Christmas which he didn't have to do.

At his daughter Colleen's high school graduation (my half-sister), we were discussing religion at one point, and he told me. "I still have a testimony, but I just can't always live it".

Sometimes it would seem like Mark would have two left feet, but it was amazing to watch how graceful and talented he was if he put on skis. Water or snow skis. Dispute his many health challenges later in life Mark remained upbeat and cheerful. It was inspiring to see. We'll always love you Mark.
