From his first breath, he brought instant smiles and joy to those around him. He grew up to be a hardworking man who enjoyed floating on the river, camping, kayaking, hunting, and slaying crappie. He never let his kids or grandkids part ways without hugging them and telling them he loved them. Mark was a man of GOD whose devout faith stood in Jesus Christ alone. He was a one-of-a-kind friend, a self-sacrificing father, and a proud grandpa. Mark was considered the grandpa of the neighborhood, showering every child with love and attention.
He is survived by his sister Lori (Joe), his children Josh, Lainee and Jared, his beloved, adopted daughter/granddaughter Abbi, and his cherished grandchildren Kaiden, Hayli, Payton, Serenity, Keaton and Onyx.
