Mark wore many hats as a loving son, brother, husband, dad, uncle, grandpa and good friend. He loved his Nebraska Cornhuskers, fishing, golf, and being surrounded by his family and friends. He would greet you with a smile and he became a friend to everyone he'd meet.

A celebration of life is planned for a later date and will be shared with family and friends in a future announcement.
