Growing up in New Jersey, Mark had moved to New York state before settling in Delaware for the last 10 years.

He was a born-again Christian who took pride in his work and was dedicated to any job he put his hands to, whether working as a chemist, project specialist, or doing yard work. When Mark was younger, he played football and never lost his love of sports. He taught his sons baseball and created memories that will last a lifetime. Above all this, Mark loved his family. Even when life was busy and difficult, he made sure to not miss important events like Christmas and birthdays. He will be remembered as a man who was devoted to those he loved.
