Mark was born on September 30, 1961, the third of three children.  He was the loving son of George and Ellie Hage.  Born while his family had moved temporarily from Seattle to Cocoa Beach, FL, he was referred to as “the Florida dividend” by his parents.  He is survived by his brother, Gregg  (Claudia), sister, Candace Xanttopoulos,and nephews and a niece.  
Mark lived life on his own terms, spending many years in French Gulch and Redding, CA.  He was a world traveler, living in Sri Lanka, India and Thailand.  He was a true Rasta man, adept at horticulture and thriving on the music and life style.  A loving person to his family and friends, he will be deeply missed.
