Mark was known for his sense of humor and contagious laugh and never missed a chance to make an obscure movie reference. He loved listening to 80’s Hard Rock and “air drumming” along. Mark had a love for playing hockey, where he wore #7 on his jersey. He ran many marathons including the Twin Cities, Grandma’s, Boston and New York Marathons. Mark made a lasting impact on everyone who knew him and leaves behind a legacy of joy, love and laughter.
