Mark, God speed to you. The times we spent talking, laughing, figuring out the answers to life's challenges and watching the stars together while listening to the roar of the ocean will forever be in my heart. You taught this teacher some valuable lessons. Thank you. May blessings be on your family.

Mark, Your journey on this earth has been one fraught with ups and downs. I know your time in Texas was one of the "ups" in your life.. Seeing you on the water, laughing and having fun was truly a joy to watch. It was fun playing scrabble with you and singing "Fat Bottom Girls"! Fond memories. May you find peace in the arms of God. My prayers and love to your family and friends.

Mark, there are no words to express what you have meant to me over the last several years. We have had some good times! From a boat ride in VA beach to Gingerbread House decorating at Christmas in Texas. My sweetest memories will always been our quite evenings with you cooking and we are just hanging out. You will be so very missed. My love and prayers to your family. Love and Hugs!

We met in our Junior year at Cox High School
February 1, 2012

I remember the first time we got together to hang out. No big deal and nothing funny, but it doesn't seem like it was that long ago...
Mark was driving his gray Chevy Vega that burned at least a quart of oil per gallon. Nick Massey was with him when he picked me up...
I think we went to a friend's house down on Beech Street off of Shore Drive near the intersection of Great Neck. The friend that lived there was named Randy... Randy Cribb, I think.
We hung out at that house a lot over the next year or so. A bunch of musicians lived and hung out there. I was and am musically challenged, but Mark and especially Nick Massey were unbelievably great musicians.
I remember Nick playing a better version of Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" that first night and I was blown away at how talented these guys were.
That's it... just trying to jot down random thoughts so others can know what he was like back in the day.
Camping at Lake Gaston
February 1, 2012
by Jon Rowe
Way too long ago a bunch of us were camping at The County Line Campground at Lake Gaston for a few days. We had a pretty large peninsula all to ourselves.
After a full day of fun and maybe a few too many, Mark was keeping all of us and some fellow nearby campers awake with his thunderous snoring. We tried everything to quiet him down and decided on a little fun, drastic course of action. We (quietly at first) pulled up his puptent stakes and started dragging him inside his collapsed tent towards the waters edge. We pulled him (laughing histerically now) at least a hundred yards down to the beach.
He didn't miss a beat on his snoring brigade while we dragged him. We put the little mesh window of his tent over his face so he could breathe and laughed all the way back to our tents.... still no sleep for the weary - Mark's snoring was echoing over the land and water like he had a bullhorn up to his face.
So.... we went back down to the source of the horrible sound and proceeded to drag him at least another hundred yards down the beach away from us so we might get some relief. It still wasn't enough.... about an hour later we heard Mark wake up to some confusion..."what the hell"?!
Needless to say he wasn't all too pleased and proceeded to pull up all of our tent stakes down in retaliation.
