Mark and Jamie shared many long hours working side-by-side in the entertainment industry, creating cherished memories during late-night shoots and spontaneous road trips. Mark was a natural problem solver with a quick sense of humor who brought laughter to every family gathering. Outside of work and his collections, he treasured his 12-year friendship with his close friend Chelsea.

To his daughter Sabrina, he was a protector who always made people feel safe. She cherished his boundless creativity, his bold spirit never taking nonsense from anyone and the unforgettable spontaneous adventures they shared together.

Dominick remembers his father for his incredible work ethic and resilience. Through long hours on the job, Mark showed that whenever life knocked him down, he always found a way to come back stronger. He was a true fighter who taught his son the value of hard work and perseverance no matter the circumstances.

The family would like to thank his home care nurse, Misty, for the care and compassion she showed our loved one in their final days. Misty was dedicated and compassionate and we appreciated the care she provided in his final days.
