Mark grew up in Pittsburg KS going to Pittsburg city schools and was graduated from Pittsburg High School in 1974.  He earned his Bachelors and Masters Degrees at Pittsburg State University. 
After graduation from PSU, Mark went into business in Pittsburg KS starting a liquor store in the Plaza Shopping Center across from PSU. In 1986 he moved to Kansas City to work for and manage various car dealerships in the Kansas City area, following the career of his favorite uncle. After more than a decade of car sales and dealerships, Mark started his own Independent Insurance Agency and managed that business until his death.  In addition to managing his Insurance Business he also worked for the Internal Revenue Service in Kansas City as an auditor.
Until his later years, Mark was always a fun loving person full of life and planning future adventures. During the last several years, his illness prevented him from doing many things and exacted a heavy toll on his body and his life.   He was loved by his family and friends for his easy going attitude, and his ever present sense of humor.  He will be missed by all of us, but we are sure that his pain is now ended and that God’s plans for him continue.  His eternal life has blessed the family he leaves behind and his life continues through his daughter and granddaughters.  His life will go on as an extraordinary memory to his many nieces and nephews that grew to love and cherish the joyful and blessed part he played in each of their lives. 
Mark was a brother, son, father and grandfather.  He was loved by all of us.  We wish him well on his continuing journey in Christ and we are thankful that his love and life became part of ours.  His life was too short, but it was meaningful and filled with God’s blessings.
