I wanted to let you know that Mark passed away 7/30/2020. I can provide some details of his life and an updated photo, if you'd like that for the website. Thank you.
I remember Mark with his Skateboard rolling down the walkway near the back Lawn at PHS learning tricks Unfortunately most of us lost contact with one another afternoon Graduation. RIP Mark as you enter the Halls of Valhalla .
Thank you to Marvin and Brian (and anyone else that comments). Mark was found in his home (previously our parent's home) and it was deemed an accidental death. After high school, he worked in warehousing and then went to school to become an IT Specialist. However, at a certain point in time he became full-time caretaker to our ailing parents until they passed. He never married, nor had any children.
He is survived by myself (his sister), my husband, and two nieces.
Mark and I spent many days together, riding bikes, flying kites, partying, playing guitar and just having fun. From high school thru the 90's before we fell out of touch with one another. He is and has always been in my thoughts. Quite the character and we hung out for many years. One amazing friend that will always be remembered. Here's to you Mark, Iram frup!!!!!! Always kept us laughing...
I became friends with your brother through my boyfriend in High School. We had such a good time with him. From him sneaking me in to the club his band was playing in to riding the Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz 13 times in a row. ( I have told this story to my grand kids many times). Such happy memories of your brother. His memory lives on with the people he touched.
I'm so sad to learn about Mark's passing. My boyfriend (now husband) and I were very close friends with Mark until we lost contact in 1997. So many great memories we will cherish.
