Mark was a coworker and friend… he will be dearly missed. No matter what was going wrong, he knew how to find the bright side or something humorous to keep everyone’s spirits up. Truly a great man…
Mark,
I am truly grateful I had the privilege of knowing and working with you for eight years. No matter what the circumstance you always had a positive attitude and could make us laugh even in frustrating times. You were a friend in the truest sense of the word. I will miss you more than I can say.
I pray you are now with the Lord and enjoying your new life.
I pray that Beverley, Diane, Cheryl and all those who have a hole in their heart be filled with the peace that passes all understanding.
Thank you so much.

I am SO sorry about Mark’s untimely death. I didn’t know him well, but Rayford was my first cousin. I well remember when Mark was born and how happy Rayford and Beverly were. News was all over town! He was definitely loved!

I worked with Mark just about everyday for 10 years, we were coworkers but over the many years of our work and the many things we shared and confided we became more like friends. He loved his family and furry pets so very much and his face always lit up when he talked about them. We spent countless hours at work forging through our work with countless hours laughter and hilarious stories, many i’ve never laughed so hard at in my life. The biggest thing i take away from Marky Mark, as i called him for years, is his one of kind social personality and ability to make people around him feel comfortable and like they knew him for years, thats something that can’t be replaced. So sorry for his family, such a great loss but an even greater pride and admiration just be able to be part of his short lived LIFE. Gonna miss ya buddy, rest in peace now an maybe see you again someday and share many more stories and laughs. God Bless to all of his family and Friends…..
