Mark was a kind man and a part of my family for a very long time. Always ready to help my mom, Marilyn Cabbage, when she needed anything. Now he can roam the woods and hunt to his hearts content! You'll be missed!❤

The man, the myth, the legend! You will be missed more than you will ever know. Thank you for being an amazing “Uncle Mark” to my children. We love you!

Thank you, Sheila, for taking care of Mark after your mother passed away. Yes, Mark was estranged from most of his family. I'm glad he had you, your sister and mother as his family. My condolences to you. Shelly DeChantal

Thank you for being part of my life. Thank you for the way you loved my children and my Grandson. He misses you already but has one of your dreamcatchers... we told him you wanted him to send his sadness back through the hole for you to destroy! I know you think we were helping you; I hope you knew it was more the opposite. You were always SUCH A PRESENCE! A strong, quiet presence. It will be different now, but you will always be in our hearts and in our memories. May your spirit fly free now, like the glorious eagle soaring through the trees and the clouds... rest was something you were never very good at... so it’s hard to say rest easy. Instead, I’ll say be at peace. Until the next time we meet, be at peace. Missing you, Mickie

I knew Mark in the 80’s and 90’s and I’d know that vest anywhere. He was my grandma’s (Wanda) best friend for many years. They worked together and they traveled together. They took my young son’s camping together. Beautiful memories! And I’m sure he’s a roaming the woods and hunting and fishing to his hearts content. RIP
