I'm so sorry to hear about Mark. I just found out today July 18. As you already know, he was a great person and fun to be around. I never seen him without a smile. He could really operate equipment,especially good on graders. I know he help with the Route 66 trail. Again I'm so very sorry. I will truly miss not seeing him. Jerry Lutz

Dear Family and Friends, It is with a heavy heart that I write. I just learned today of Mark's unfortunate passing. I knew him from his work on the Ehrenfeld project. On several occasions I had the privilege to spend time with him. He was a gentleman to say the least. He was kind, accommodating, and gracious. He truly appreciated the work he did, and took pride in doing it. He had the respect of his men, and always greeted you with a smile. Though it won't ease the pain, please find solace in knowing his efforts to make Ehrenfeld a better place will live on for generations. Thank you for sharing Mark with us, and may your memories help you through this difficult time. Branden

I only met Mark 4 years ago through work, but I really enjoyed working for him. The lord broke the mold when he created this guy. He will never be replaced and I will miss him along with everyone else out there. My heart pours out to his family. So sorry for your loss. Bless you all.
