It is so heartbreaking knowing I will not get to see and talk to such a nice awesome man again, but it is definitely comforting knowing that he is in a much better place now. I know the good Lord took him for a reason, and he is no longer in pain. May the love of others surround and comfort all of his family and friends during this difficult time.

Missy and the children,
I am so sad about the loss of Mark, but relieved to know thathe does not have to suffer anymore. Mark will be loved and missed by all of his friends and loved ones. I will never forget the nite we all went out to the hockey game, and to Dave's Xmas party. We had a blast. And of course how can I forget the two of you wanting me to help with those chickens. :-) I love you so much and I am here for you no matter what the need may be. Stay strong, keep your head up, and know that you are loved by many. Sonja Calliste

A great man has gone to his eternal place.. Free of pain. May our Good Lord wrap all of you in his arms and send love to you, Missy and the rest of the family. It is always hard to let them go to our Lord, but God chose a good angel.. Praying for all of you that you will heal during this difficult and saddened time.
I don't know who wrote this, but I wanted to share it with you, Missy and kids...
"God saw that he was hurting, and a cure was not to be.
So he wrapped His arms around him, and whispered, "Come with Me."
Golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the BEST."
Mark was truly amazing. I was so blessed to get to know him when I worked with him at the lab. He could just light up a room when he walked in... I always thought so much of him, and learned alot from him as well.... My heart is broken with his passing, but he is no longer suffering. Instead, he is rejoicing with the Lord. Love and prayers to the entire family.

Missy and the kids,
My heart truly aches for you. I have always thought alot of Mark and i will miss him. I had the privilege of being able to sit down and visit with Mark just a few short weeks ago and i will keep that visit close to my heart. I hope all the love of family and friends is of some comfort to you.

Oh my goodness, I had no idea Mark was even sick so imagine my surprise to see the paper this morning. I am so sorry to hear of this and apparently of the long struggle for all of you. I do not know y'all personally but I use to work w/Mark years ago at URHCS and I am originally from Seymour so knew of him in high school. I also shopped at the Uniform Shop alot when I worked at the hospital. I am so sorry for your loss and the loss of such a great man, he was always eager to help and made the work place more enjoyable. You all have alot to be proud of !! prayers to all !!

Missy and family,
The celebration at Faith Baptist tonight (Thursday) was wonderful. Lorrie is sad that she couldn't attend (had to work). Before she left home, we reminisced about running into the two of you at the theater in Parker Square on your very first date. I remember telling Lorrie, "Mark sure seems like a nice guy," and I think her response was, "He and Missy are perfect for each other."
And you were.
Love again to all of you.
Jim and Lorrie
Missy....so sorry that I couldn't attend the visitation or funeral, but I have to work in Bridgeport. You and Mark were so on my mind Sunday and I wanted to come see you, but I just didn't know if you were up for having company. My heart is with you and the kids...y'all are the strongest people I know and have more faith than anyone I know. May God wrap you all in his arms and help you through this sadness as only He has the power to do. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. I love all of you, and keep you in my prayers daily.
Denise
Heavenly Father, please let Missy, Austin, Landon, and Abby be surrounded with Your Love and peace in the days to come. Give them strength and comfort. It's in Your holy and wholly powerful Name we pray, Amen.
I worked with Mark at WGH/URHCS labs. He was always loose and relaxed and so at ease in every situation. He had an amazing natural charm and "gift of gab" the likes of which I've rarely seen before or since. Now he watches over us all.
