Sorry for your loss

Mark was always a helpful guy in high school. Funny to hang out with. Loved his family. He is finally out of pain, but it is the family that must learn to go on without his presence. Missy is strong and will lead her family forward. God will be with her and her family during this transition. Mark is at peace and that is a blessing. May the family have strength in that knowledge. Prayers for the family. Mike and Dorothy Barker

Love and Prayers

Melissa and Children, I offer you my deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers now and in the future. May you be consoled with the faith that Mark is in the arms of our awesome God. Melissa, I love you and am so sorry. Dick Maile

God Bless You My Friend

Mark taught me all about packaging components and was always willing to share his knowledge and expertise with anyone. We spent 30+ years together and had some great laughs. He also showed me everything I know about fireworks, which was one of his passions, second to his family. Every time I hear thunder I will know that Mark is working on an other amazing show. I love you buddy! Nick Blank

One of the BEST!

Mark and I started 2 weeks apart at what was Merrell-National Laboratories in 1974. We crossed paths many times, but in later years, my job relied on his team and his team relied on me. We trusted each other’s judgement and got things done to help make medicine for our customers’ patients. He is definitely not going to be forgotten, just sorely missed by his friends and family. God speed!
