Mark enjoyed many things, but was happiest with the simple things in life, spending time with family and friends, sharing memories and flashing his million dollar smile. He will be greatly missed.
“Nothing thrilled me more than when I threw a perfect curve ball, struck out a batter or crushed a pitch right out of the ballpark. In life, I never let the fear of striking out get in my way. I just ran out of innings.”
