Dear family and friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we communicate that Mark was placed on hospice on April 10, 2026 after struggling with medical issues for many years. Although Mark is still with us today, we anticipate his passing over the next few days. Mark is a beloved father, Pa, brother, uncle, husband and friend to many. He never hesitated to help a friend in need and his quirky sense of humor could make even a difficult situation better.

As we prepare for his passing, we are faced with the difficult task of arranging Mark’s final farewell. We want to give him the dignified and heartfelt send-off he deserves, but unfortunately, the financial burden of funeral expenses is overwhelming for our family.

We are reaching out to our community for support in honoring Mark’s memory. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help alleviate the financial strain and allow us to focus on grieving and remembering him fondly.

Funds raised will go towards funeral service, burial or cremation costs, transportation, memorial arrangements, etc. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in ensuring that Mark is laid to rest with the dignity and respect he deserves.

We also appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and messages of support during this difficult time. Your kindness means the world to us as we navigate through our grief.

Angela (On behalf of Lisa and Mark's whole family)
