"Mark and I go back a long long way as well as all the McKay Family. I first met Mark when they moved 2 houses down from my family. Even though we lived in a small town we always found things to do....some great and more not so great. It was these times where we developed a friendship going though into high school and for life. Everytime we would run into each other it was always good to see him and hear about his family. I will miss him and send out my condolences to all that were touched by such a fun loving person."

"Kim and Andrew, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and may the Lord be with you. I had the honor of working with Mark at Infiniti from Oct. 2004 till July 2007. He took me under his wing as a new tech straight out of college starting a new career path. I will always be thankful for him sharing his knowledge and wisdom during my early years as a tech. Mark was always a great guy to be around and I enjoyed many stories of his, whether it was his mini truck that he got, cooking on his grill or riding his snowmobile. Mark will be missed. "
