RIP
Mark was a true friend. A kind giving person. Always there to help others. I will miss him dearly Love you Mark Dawn❤️
RIP cavy you are going to be missed my prayers for your family brother
Mark was a little boy when we met him. We lived next door for many years, and he and Lisa always played with Steve and Laura. He was always outside, therefore so was Steve. I will miss him almost as much as everyone else. His family was such good neighbors. It’s hard to imagine life here without him. And if it wasn’t for Tina I wonder if Stan would still be here. She and another friend of Mark’s were there and pulled him from the river. Thanks will never be enough. I am so glad Mark found Tina, and pray everyone remembers what a good friend he was.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mark, my thoughts and prayers will be with you all. May the Lord comfort you in your time of need.
RIP buddy was a privilege knowing you and working with you, you will be missed
