He attended school at Jonesburg Elementary and Montgomery County R-II High School and graduated in 1982. He will be remembered by his classmates as the guy that pulled many pranks on the teachers.
He was a member of Hope Lutheran Church in South Sioux City, Neb. Mark enjoyed doing anything that involved working with his hands, including rebuilding cars, computers, and other machinery. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast, especially Harley-Davidsons. Every time someone went to a new place, they had to pick up a Harley T-shirt for him. While Mark lived on the wild side a lot, he had a big heart and would help anyone out that needed it.
