Mark truly enjoyed life to its fullest. Always on the go and doing some kind of project: NASCAR, Seahawks, Sonics, Mariners, bowling, concerts, dancing, painting, wood working, clam digging, garage saling, dirt bike riding, floating the Icicle River in Leavenworth, Wash. volunteering at the Montesano Moose Lodge, loved HIS beach, spending time with his dogs, and hugs!

He has four nephews and four nieces. Mark is a godfather to one of his nieces, Angie Richardson, which he loved having that honor. Mark also had a very special relationship with his dear Aunt Selma.
