I was in the Band at Carter High School with Mark. He was a year older. We had some GREAT times. Mark, you always had my back, I, along with many people will miss all the goodness inside of you.

Mark and I played baseball together for Sunnyview. I think he played for Thorngrove for a season or two. Great guy!
When I was located at Citizen's Plaza myself (around 2007-2008, I'm now in Memphis), it seemed I would see Mark every few days, although we were not on the same floor. When I would see Mark, he always had this "can-do" attitude if I needed anything from him and just maintained this cheerful spirit (including in late 2015, when I was in Nashville briefly and last saw him), which I truly liked about him. He will be missed!

Sorry for your loss. Did not know until today. I'm hoping that you will be okay and have other family to help you get through this sad time. Love Gayle
I am going to miss my friend Mark. I am shocked and saddened at his passing. We shared lunch and laughs together often and those are times I will remember and always treasure. The times the 'lunch crew' shared together were so full of joy. We had to move our lunch location more than once to avoid disturbing others with our laughter. I recall a time when a vendor that worked in our building came over to our lunch table after having heard us laugh and joke with one another day after day after day. She asked us how we were able to be so full of joy and laughs all of the time. We told her that we loved each other and loved the LORD. Although Mark and I shared common interests that included fishing, I never got to take that fishing trip with him. The next time I go fishing, I will dedicate that trip and the next fish I catch to him (my "blue" brother).
Janice, please know that you and your family will be in my prayers.

Janice we are so sorry to here about Mark. He was a great fellow. I always felt like I
could to Mark. I know he loved you with all of his heart. I know this was exterely hard
on you. But God has his reasons and we don't always understand at the beginning but
as time goes on we can understand more of what God is doing for us. Sorry we
couldn't come down but you hang in there and hope to see you real soon.
Love In Christ,
Gerald & Connie
P.S. Janice just remember that GOD LOVES YOU more than anything and when you
get to feeling bad hold on to that though.
I haven't seen Mark in years since I moved away from Knoxville, but I don't think I've known a kinder and "good person" than him. And Mark was very smart and in tune with what was going on at any given time. He was mostly joyful and happy, but he was somber at appropriate times. And I feel so bad to hear about his passing. My prayers go out to his family and friends. And while I know he made everyone feel special, he made me always feel special like I was his best friend if he would see me every so often years after high school. Knowing Mark, he would have laughed if I cut a joke right now and given one back. And I'm sure that's the way many remember him. I know he will be missed by many. I regret not having seen him in many years. But I will again one day. Just a sad, sad loss.A great person who I can't think of anything at all negative in him as a person. I have no doubt he loved his children and grandchildren. And everyone else.

Rest easy and in peace my friend. You made a great positive difference in the world while you were here, and you will not be forgotten.

Mark was such a blessing - he is missed - always a bright smile and willing hand for any task. My deepest sympathy to his family; he spoke of you often with love and affection.
