Mark was a great neighbor. He was always willing to help his neighbors any way he could. Plus he really kept his property up. I will miss him.

Dear Brother, the last thing you said to me was “Love you.” This was not the outcome any of us expected, but I will carry those words in my heart.
Yvonne, I am grateful for the years you had with my brother and the life you made together. I am so sorry.

I will always love and miss this man. He was my father like figure. He was my step dad so I always called him my "stepped up dad".
