Along his journey, Mark especially enjoyed comedy, bike riding, bowling, motorcycles, fishing, drag racing, dirt track racing, remote-controlled cars, beach vacations, camping, restaurant dining, family gatherings and country music or music that spurred fond memories. He was always ready to support others’ needs and interests. Mark was a fun loving, peaceful, and caring gentleman.
