I'm completely devastated about the news. I will miss Mark's bright personality and hilarious jokes. He could find humor in most difficult situations. His love to his family was remarkable and kids were his life. My deepest condolences to Ralph (Allyn) and Beverly (Larry), his kids and the extended family. I'm so sorry for your loss.
A few years ago Mark landed a modeling contract and had a few gigs. One in particular was for a Thanksgiving-theme photoshoot of his hands holding or serving a turkey. Of course, he had to brag about it because it was a chance for him to be in a magazine ad and he also got a kick out of seeing his name assignment on a piece of paper. It read "Hand Talent #3". From that point on, he appeared in my phone as such. :)
Rest in peace, my friend! ❤️
