    Mark was a great guy. It’s so sad to think I won’t be seeing him anymore. But his friends and family should think that even though we only had him for a short while, we were lucky he was in our lives. Tom and Rachel, I love you guys and hope that you find the strength to get through this tragedy. We will miss you always Mark. You were such a wonderful person in the community. It’s not fair. But your friends and family will love you always.

    I wish I could’ve gotten to know you better than I already do. You were an awesome guy when I knew you a few years ago and it seems that you were an even greater person to your friends and family now. Ride in paradise mark. We’ll miss you.
