My deepest condolences. Mark and I went to Prairie School together. He was a lot of fun and a great guy! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will cherish my memories of him. Peace.

I remember hanging out with Mark during high school. Mark was a year older, but I considered him a good friend in those days. Once he graduated, we lost track. I really always thought I would run into him as we both ended up in Racine. I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was one of the nicest guys in his class at Prairie – and I have no doubt that he was a great friend and father too.
