A member of First Free Church in Ballwin, Mark loved the Lord and trusted him throughout his life, including during health challenges in recent years.

An early interest in the audio-visual field took him to a career in the St. Louis Community College District, working primarily at the Meramec campus in Media Services. He served for several years with the Missouri Civil Air Patrol. Before his health issues worsened, Mark's interests included riding his motorcycle along rural Missouri roads, volunteering with a pipe organ builder, and frequenting local barbecue spots.
