Please except my deepest condolence and sympathy for Marks death. The only for sure thing on the day you are born is that one day God will bring you home to him for whatever reason he may have. Unfortunately many times it is long before we wish to see our loved ones leave us.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mark was a great man with a huge heart! Although we had only known Mark for a few short years, his love of life and the fun times we spent together was way too short. His presence and humor always made people smile. He will be greatly missed and we will think of him every day and remember the joy that he brought to everyone he was around. May he rest in peace.
God Bless you and the entire Rock River Arms Family during this extremely difficult time.

We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Mark's passing. With a smile we remember coming to share in the awesome food Mark would cook and knew that we better leave a little food on our plate at all times or he would fill it up again. Another memory that makes us chuckle is the times at Barrett Jackson car auction. Anyone who knew Mark knew that if he was bidding on a car, you may as well stop bidding because he would bid until he got it :) He was a very generous and caring man with a huge heart and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
