Mark will be greatly missed for he was a very kind and gentle person and always had a smile for me! My husband, James, and Mark would talk about their health issues and related and I think it helped them both because they both went through some tough times health wise. We also had the opportunity to work with Mark at Metro and spend time with him. He is one of the good ones who will be missed greatly!  Our best and prays to his family! James and Karen Wilson

What a great guy. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the services.

Mark and I knew each other through Metro, I found him to be a caring friend, and associate.  He reached out to me when I had cancer, even though he had gone through a difficult time losing his leg. He was always supportive, caring. Inspiring and most of all friendly. Mark will be deeply missed, but I'm sure he is in a beautiful place watching over his family and friends. May God comfort his family and friends everyday and give you confidence and strength. Galen Krebs

Sure will miss Mark at the Metro Fast Tracks, he taught me a lot in my short time with Metro. Always had a smile and words of encouragement. Prayers to Mark's family.

Sending love to you all.  As F2 Crew members, we will remember Mark for being a really great guy.  Kind.  Compassionate.  Passionate.  Hugs from Amy and Bruce in Lancaster. Fly, Mark. Fly!

Although we lost touch over the years, I will still remember your laugh and caring towards everyone. I still remember the fast tracks we attended and all the support you gave me. The laughs especially I will never forget. RIP 

I am so so saddened by the news of Marks passing, he was such a great guy, always smiling and full of life! I worked with him in Metro and although I didn't see him often being that I'm from Jersey, every time I saw him at Corporate or at a Co. function he was always so sweet and kind and willing to help, He will be missed dearly, My heart goes out to his wife and family, I know there will be hard roads ahead being that I have been there myself, My best advice ( that is if you want it from someone you don't even know )  Is pay attention, he is still here! you will find him in the sounds of laughter, in a smell that passes your scenes, In the way your child looks at you! you will see him in many ways all around you, let those things comfort you and the pain will begin (in time) to become a warmth, a warmth that will help you heal.

Praying for Marks loved ones.  Mark made an impact on me through his training.  I will miss him dearly.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My deepest, sincerest sympathies to Marks family. Mark was a great instructor, served with compassion and empathy and will be greatly missed by the lives he touched. That being said,  Metro has lost one of their finest. My thoughts and prayers go out to all. 

From kindergarten thru your passing it was a privilege to call you my friend. Some of my favorite and funniest memories from middle school and beyond were with you. Thank you for your friendship. Now hobble over to that bar stool in heaven and have an Iron City with your dad. 

I met Mark in 2011 shortly after I joined Metro Public Adjustment. We instantly became friends. His kind and gentle personality was a magnet that drew you to him. His knowledge and confidence made you want to be with him and learn about business and life. I always made sure I would say hi to Mark whenever our paths met and talk with him. He was a good listener as well as a great teacher. There is an emptiness in all of us who knew him and respected him. Mark was a giant of a man and will be sorely missed by all of us who were fortunate enough to have known him in this life. Until we meet again, farewell my friend!

Condolences to the family, from us in the Metro family. Mark s joyful nature will be sorely missed, and he maintained a sense of humor even in difficult circumstances. He mentored more people than most, and we are glad for the time we got to spend with him. A life well lived. R.I.P.

Mark was a business associate with whom I had the pleasure of working with on fast tracks and attending his quick start presentations with my recruits. He always impressed me as being very professional, kind and approachable. He taught me a lot and I'm will sincerely miss him. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

My friend you will definitely be missed. At a loss for words. Jenn and Marks girls I pray for your strength to continue. 

Mark,I miss you already. I'll miss the laugh and lunches.

Thank you, Mark for your friendship, your humor and to telling it like it is, and what it is is sad that all good things must come to an end, however, your memory, our many laughs will live in our hearts for ever my friend.  Drum Loudly in ParadiseLove Stan & PaulaWatch over Stan, Mark.  He lost his best friend the day you passed. 

My friend MarkI met Mark through my company, Metro Public Adjustment.  Mark was a Metro Giant who rose & shined but never took front and center to brag or exaggerate, he was humble. Mark was not just someone I worked with but was also a close friend & one who I enjoyed hanging with.  Through Mark, I met Jennifer Marks Love of a Lifetime who stole my heart with her sweetness.  Together, the 4 of us, Mark, Jennifer, Stan and I would go to dinners and have the most interesting conversations, laughing and laughing some more.  The 4 of us, had so much in common.  We enjoyed many concerts, most of them, 80s bands.  I would enjoy watching Mark play the air drums.  See, Marks love for music was something we had in common.   Mark has an amazing drum set that he played & I know many drummers whod drool to play.  Id like to think theres a big deluxe drum set waiting for him with cymbals galore and all his favorite musicians ready to jam with him.  Imagine them waiting in line to see Mark.  Anyway Mark, Im going to miss you.  Not only will I miss joking with you about your Dorothy costume,  our get together, your encouraging words but I will miss your craziness.  I will miss you asking me about my lashes... inside joke (my mug said ask me about my lashes) Mark always did.  To Jennifer: Our friendship means the world to me.  Im always here for you. I love you, Mark loved you and he was just as lucky to have you as you were to have him, Love of Lifetime. Thank you for being our concert wing couple.  To Marks Mom, May.  Thank you for raising Mark to be the great man he was. To Jennifer, you & Mark will always be our Friends of a Lifetime I will cherish every memory.  Im here if you need me. To Marks daughters, Your Dad was so proud of you. He spoke so much of how proud he was of each one of you.  I pray for comfort, peace and love for you and his family.   Mark fly high and drum loudly.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.- The Staff of James J. Dougherty Funeral Home
