He met his wife, Deborah, while living in Richmond, and the two knew within three months that they wanted to be together forever.

Mark and Deborah built a loving home in Mechanicsville, Virginia for their three girls full of laughter, music, family events, and Mark's legendary stories.

The family delighted in raising many pets over the years, with Mark holding a special place in his heart for two of their golden retrievers, Sandy and Buddy.
