I met Mark during my time at UMHB. 9 times out of 10 he was helping me by unlocking the BSM after hours. We quickly built a friendship through that and soon we were stopping each other to catch up even well after I graduated. Whatever Mark was involved in he gave it his all. He was kind, funny, and stubborn, and a good friend. He will be missed.

My condolences to his family. I met Mark while working for S&W EMS. He was a great paramedic, clown, and a prankster. I remember him asking me to push him around S&W hallways in the hospital white he hid under a sheet. Scaring the **** out of people. We laughed and laughed until we got into trouble. Also during a rush transfer to Dallas, he told a doctor to just fax the paperwork to the receiving hospital. ( time critical run). The dr.did not like his attitude and again we were in trouble. Mark never backed down from a fight when he was avocating for a patient, the traits of a true hero. He was alway telling jokes and was a joy to work with. I will miss my friend and his great ability to bring joy to those around him. RIP my brother.

So sorry for your loss we all grew up in the Temple Fire Department and Mark was an intricate part. Lots of memories and thankful for knowing Mark as he was as dedicated servant.❤️❤️❤️May God Bless snd keep you

Sorry I can't make the trip. Rest well old friend.
