He was very proud of them and would do absolutely anything for them, even if it meant driving across the state to help with a broken car. Mark met Mindi in 2011 through a mutual friend, they were inseparable after that. Inside jokes and inappropriate humor were the foundation of their relationship. They truly were soul mates.

He always had a camera with him and was an amazing photographer. He was also passionate about firearms. An outstanding marksman who loved sharing his gift by teaching others.
