Mark and first wife Gail helped our daughter so much with sheep and horse projects at the Jefferson County fair and their daughter Megan and our daughter Jennifer had lots of adventures together. We did not have the opportunity to know Madelyn but were glad to know Mark had found new love as well. Kind, considerate, always there to help as needed, always going above and beyond to help relatives, friends and strangers. Mark will be greatly missed and we extend our heartfelt condolences to all the family.
