Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I will always remember him as a happy and smiling teenager in our Youth Group at Evergreen Church. He and his brother were very special to our family and in our church activities. It's sad that at such a "young" age his life would come to an end, and yet... we have God's promise that because of Christ we will meet again. So for that reason we can rejoice and be at peace. We will see you again Mark. May your family be blessed at this difficult time. We love you because Christ loved us.

Condolence: Thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.

Condolence: Cathy, Jason, and Dale, We are so sorry for your loss. Our love and prayers are with you.

Condolence: I shed tears to hear of Mark's death. Way back in 1976 he became my friend and I his spiritual father (though only 4 years in physical age older) in South Boardman, Michigan when I was pastor of Victory Baptist Church. Nikki and my son Daniel rode to and attended Christian school in Traverse City. Daniel (as a child) loved Mark and prayed for his soul. Mark, Donna, Dale and Nikki lived right just around the corner from our parsonage. We shared some special experiences. We hunted together, fished and traveled some places. I gave him a Stevens semi-auto 12 gauge. He went visiting with me to see people about their souls. He was a big man with a gentle heart. I miss him and you have mine, my wife Jill and son Daniel's heartfelt sympathy. I expect to see to be reunited with him in heaven one day. Our prayers and the prayers of our church here in Illinois are for you.

Condolence: Cathy, there are no words I can say to tell how sorry I am for your loss. I did not know Mark well but, you loved him and that ment he was a good man and a special person. He will be missed. I will pray God will give you strength and peace, with all my love to you and your family. Pat M.

Condolence: Our hearts are so heavy with the loss of such a wonderful man. To all of his family we send our heartfelt sympathy. Cherish the memories of Mark as these will give you strength in the days ahead. We are praying that our God will give you peace and comfort in abundance. We love you all.

Condolence: Kark Kniss, Knissie, Mr. Knisster. Mark was a prince of a man. A gentle giant. He will be sorely missed. Cathy and family. I am so sorry. Mark is a person whom I had great respect for. You never had to wonder what he thought because he would tell you exactly what his thoughts were. No beating around the bush with that man. And he was never mean about it either. I wish I could remember some of his "back when I was on the rigs" stories. Always entertaining he was. Mark will always be remembered as the kind and caring person that he was. May the Lord bless him with a place in Heaven and let the Lord ease the sorrow of his loving family. Rest in peace my friend knowing that you have done well and your legacy will carry on. Bless you my friend.
