Mark was one of the most kind and gentle guys I've ever known. So sad to hear of his passing. His rock music memorabilia collection was legendary as was his Studebakers. He will be missed.

I am DEEPLY saddened by this news. Mark was a kind, caring person. You were blessed if he called you his friend. He took such good care of "his" people that he drove bus for. This is such a shock ~ you will be greatly missed, my friend. Rest now with Jesus.

We went to high school together and stayed friends all these years. We partied a little (maybe a lot); we had a few drinks, (maybe a lot).

As kids growing up on the northern border we enjoyed the Canadian as well as American bands, something that stayed with us our whole lives, seeing many concerts as well as continuing to enjoy new music. Every time we drove somewhere you had a new CD to play for me to see if I liked it. It could be a new band, a new album of a new version of an old band. You loved music and knew a lot about it.

It seemed every time we went someplace we would see someone you knew or someone would be tapping you on the back saying hello. The amount of people you knew and were friends with always amazed me. You’re going to be missed by a lot of people. Probably even more than you would have thought.

When it our time to pass I’m sure we will find you in the Rock and Roll section of Heaven having a blast at the Rock N’ Mark Saloon. Can’t wait to see the bands you’ve booked. And we will have a few (maybe a lot).

I will miss you my friend.

RIP dear Mark. We are saddened and shocked to read about your passing.

You will be missed by many in northwest North Dakota and beyond - our sympathies go out to you all.

Mark's mom and my mom were cousins. Mark always made sure he kept tabs on my mom. He called me to chat a couple weeks ago which was not usual, and now I think was meant to be. RIP MARK
