Natalie, Kaitlin and Michael’s dad, Connie’s brother, Mark Cress, after battling depression for many years, lost his fight. We are saddened by his loss but relieved that he will no longer suffer from this illness.

Mark will be truly missed by those who knew him and we will never forget the lives he touched. Mark was an elementary teacher much beloved by his students and remembered for his kindness, patience, playfulness, dancing in class and giving his kids silly nicknames. We love you dad/brother/friend/teacher. RIP

We need financial help to defray funereal and memorial costs. Anything you can give will be hugely appreciated. Thank you for your help, kindness and support.
