Dear friends and family,

We are absolutely devastated by the unexpected loss of this amazing man. On Feb 13th we lost our rock. Mark was bigger than life. He radiated hope and his bear hugs would send love to your bones. He made a lasting impression everywhere he went, lead by example and loved every one unconditionally. He dedicated much of his life to coaching and helping those in need. We are heartbroken and struggling to understand how to process life without him.

The love of his life Melanie was just forced to retire early due to health issues and is still healing from a knee replacement. Things are going to look extremely different for her and her children as they try to cope. She was not prepared for the loss of her husband, nor the financial burden that has been placed upon her. We are hoping to help cover funeral expenses, some unfinished house repairs and bills while we figure out how to restructure her life with only one limited income. If you are willing and able, please help us alleviate the financial aspect of this tragic loss.

Thank you for all the outpouring love and support!
