Mark worked for West Point Stevens for 27 years and spent the rest of his days as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather "Pops". His love for Jesus was only rivaled by his love for horses. He spent his life training horses and on trail rides with his family and friends. Pops preached the gospel everywhere he went. He loved the mountains, the lake and camping. Whether in a church, the jail ministry, and the Cancer Center, he leaves behind a legacy that Christ is the standard of which a man should strive to be.

The family will greet friends for visitation on Friday, March 19, 2021 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm EDT at Bluffton Funeral Services in Lanett, Alabama. Services and interment will be private family only.
