He found joy in journeys, whether driving off-road, collecting unique rocks, or marveling at the beauty of birds and trees. His adventurous spirit was matched only by his love for his family. Mark cherished spending time with his grandchildren, engaging them in spirited games of dominoes and cooking meals that brought the family together. Though a man of few words, Mark's love for his wife knew no bounds, and he took immense pride in his children and grandchildren. His quiet demeanor was eclipsed only by the depth of his affection for his family. Mark's presence will be profoundly missed, but his love and memories will endure in the hearts of all who knew him.
