  1. Debora we are so saddened to learn of Mark’s passing. Sending our love to you and your family. We will be with you in thought on Tuesday and Wednesday Carl and Charolette Neff

  2. So sorry for your loss, Debbie. Keeping you and your family in our prayers. Dude and Carol Morgan.

  3. I was so fortunate to have grown up in a small town in Western Ks., w/ Mark. He was the perfect role model as well as my idol. I was a Fr. in high school when Mark was a Sr. and all I ever wanted to be like was Mark. He was the best athlete our town of Oakley had ever seen and will ever see. He always so nice and giving and made me feel so much more special than I really was. Mark was bigger than life to a 15 year that was in need of someone to emulate. If the world had more people like Mark, it would be a much, much better place. My life is so much better for having Mark in it during my adolescence. Rest in Peace “Buff” you’re the best. Brad Heinrich

  4. If Mark was on your side you always had a chance to win. I appreciate everything he has did for me and my family. He will be missed by many. Was sad I missed him on his last visit to Cincinnati and heart broken knowing he has past. Can’t wait to watch you run those hurdles, till we meet again. Prayers for the whole Jennings family.

  5. Mark (Marco) Jennings was a salt of the earth man who will be missed dearly. As a new Territory Finance Manager (TFM) for John Deere Financial back in February of 2011 I would come to find out that Mark was my mentor. He was always willing to share his knowledge and some words of encouragement. Over the next five years I would have the great pleasure to work on the same regional field team as Marco. I will truly miss Mark’s smile and his infectious laugh…the man could light up a room without trying. My most sincere condolences to Mark’s family at this trying time. Respectfully, Al Widish

  6. The best athlete ever to come from OHS! I loved him to death and will miss him much. My heart goes out to Deb, the kids and my favorite Oakley family. Love ya all.
