Mark was a very humorous person always finding a joke in everything and loved making people laugh. He had a very big heart and would help anyone that asked or even if they didnt ask. He was a life long resident of Burleson and went to Burleson High School and had many friends that he called family too. For most of his adult life he worked for one company moving mobile homes and through that trade was able to learn how to build or fix anything he found that needed it. From cars, trucks, machines, buildings to the smallest of things to tinker with Mark could always find a way to fix things which became his hobby and passion throughout the years. From a neck tie obsession in middle school to teaching his sons about collecting fish, to collecting and refurbishing lots of items, he truly believed that "one mans trash is another mans treasure." To say the least he definitely had knack for collecting things. Mark loved working on Tyler's cars with him and teaching him how to fix things like he did. Mark's bond with Jase was through teaching him how to fish and that became Jase's passion with his dad. Mark loved his family whole heartedly even though sometimes he could be a little rough around the edges, everyone that came into contact with Mark definitely knew they were loved by him. He was the kind of man that would literally give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it. Throughout the pictures that have been shared it is definitely a testament to his life of his silliness from giving the "thumbs up" or making a silly face to always holding a baby. He truly was one of a kind.

Even through the tragic events that have led us to this day we know Mark would still love his brother and ask that everyone find it in their hearts to continue to love him too as he would.
