Mark was a 53 year old man with a beautiful family including 4 children, and three incredible and beloved grandchildren. He was described by those who adored him as compassionate, generous, and social. He loved to fish, play cribbage, and throw shoes on a traveling team with the Whitman VFW. He and his wife Lauren, have been married for 26 years and both have always been tremendously hard workers.  Mark was a  carpenter for the local Union 424 and Lauren has been employed by a local nonprofit agency for 18 years.

Sadly, Mark succumbed to a lengthy illness last week. His family is in need of assistance with funeral costs, bills, and other incidentals that have occurred during Mark's illness.

In a circumstance such as  this every little bit helps.  Please consider making a donation to this incredible man and his dedicated, hard working family.
