My husband Robert works at Todd Valley. They kept in touch after Mark left from there. They always talked or texted each other. Mark was truly a one of a kind spirit. He was the kindest goofiest person we ever have known. From working on his white jeep to just stopping by. He had a heart of gold and not a talk or text would go by without talking about his beloved daughter and his cat dude. He loved them both greatly. The last thing he said to Robert was a text that said Rain day?? (It was a old inside thing with work), robert said take the day off buddy you deserve it!! He’ll be missed greatly!! Our condolences to all the family.
Carolyn I am so sorry that Mark is gone. Mark was a Very good friend of mine and I will miss our conversations. I will miss his laughter. Love you Man.
Carolyn… I am so sorry to hear of Marks passing. I have fond memories of us walking home from Swanson and living down the street. Sending my prayers to you and your family.
Carolyn, our hearts go out to you and your family. We’ve admired your perseverance and tenacity in real estate for many years, and it’s obvious that Mark took your example to heart. God bless you all.
So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Unbelievable. Beyond sad. My fondest memory was playing kickball on 93rd avenue with your kids. Mark was a nice boy, and that is how I will always remember.him. May he rest in peace.
