I was a pal of Mark's. We lived in the same area during highschool and rode the same bus to Memorial. We didn't keep in touch much through the years but in early 2009 we became friends on facebook. On facebook I remember seeing some wall photos of him doing one of his favorite hobbies (Blacksmithing). He liked to go fishing as well. He had recently lost his wife to illness and also lost his son over the 2008 holidays (His son was going to OSU).
This was a facebook email reply that he sent to me (March 10 2009): *-*-*-*-*
Mark sent you a message.
Re: Hi Mark!
"I've been with Hilti for 10 years now, currently I'm doing work with tech and data support for the field sales. I moved to Skiatook about a year ago. Been some tremendous highs and lows over the last couple years. Lost a wife to epilepsy, met another very special person (reason for moving to Skiatook), and all was rosy till I lost my son over this last holidays. Pretty simple life these days, pretty much a homebody type.
How about you?"
