Mark followed his best friend and brother, Anthony Nicholas “Nick” Sloan, who was also his earthly hero and confidant, to Heaven. In addition, Mark joins his step-brother, Joshua Robert Lynch, his maternal grandfather, Ronald Hilton, and his maternal uncle, Dwight “Van” Cornett in Heaven.

Mark was an avid Eagles football fan and enjoyed hunting and fishing. Mark was an exceptionally skilled and talented barber, but most of all a wonderful father who loved and adored his children dearly. Mark was a jokester, as well as, the life of the party, however, at the end of the day, he was a mommy's boy at heart. Mark will continue to live through the countless fond memories we have of him and through the many lives he touched in the short time we were blessed to have him.
