    Mark created an entire catalogue of original music. A lot of it being the soundtracks to our lives. He was a good person with a sense of humor and a hard worker. I cherish time spent and music played. He was the real deal. Peace has enveloped him now and he will be missed. Godspeed Mark

    I always loved catching up with Mark when our paths crossed. While I knew Mark in high school, graduating a year after him, I got to know him even better jamming with him in the summer of 1988 on the drums, as he had his amp cranked as high as it could to Born to Be Wild and a Ted Nugent hit. I hope you are at peace now brother. You will be missed! -Bill Parker

    My dad, John, and Mark's dad are good friends. My sister and I have fond memories of Mark from when we were children and Mark and his sister were charged with entertaining/ babysitting us. Mark was always fun and didn't treat us like little kids. Thinking of his family and friends.
