Mark was a typical Air Force child moving around the United States with his family whenever his Dad was transferred to a new base.

In June of 1977, Mark joined his father in the Madison Barber Shop.

Mark married and was blessed with three sons who adored him. He was quick-witted, he had a contagious sense of humor and smile. He would brighten anyone's day with a joke or turn of a phrase. He loved music, fishing, drawing and inventing things. Best of all Mark was a lover and follower of God, although he loved his family, he looked forward to being with his Lord and Savior.
