Dearest Mark,  as we mark your passing one year from today, we want you to know that we will forever miss you until we soar in The Heavens with you.  Forever friends, Ted and Lynne

Dear Ellen,  
Russ, and I learned of Mark's passing through Jim Hatten. We are so devastated for you and your daughters.  We send our love and deepest condolences.  Know that you are in our thoughts and our hearts.
 With love and sympathy, Debbie and Russell Graham


I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you with many wonderful memories of Mark.   I wanted to let you know that often when we would talk at work, he would mention his family and it  was always with tenderness and pride.   I could tell that he loved you all very much.  

Mark would often brighten my day with  a candy bar. He loved giving. I appreciated that in a sea of liberals I had a fellow patriot with whom I could freely talk.  

 ---Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .

Mark was a dear friend and colleague, he was smart , kind , generous and passionate about the things he cared about . I worked with Mark on the PESCH Ex team for years , negotiated  contracts and enjoyed working with him as a board member for our MNA /PECSH  HRA  . He was a true advocate for our members . Mark and I would often have conversations about our three daughters  a commonality we enjoyed  I loved watching his eyes light up when he talked about his girls . Soar high my friend , until we meet again

Mark would say, "Nothing but the best for my girls" when talking about his wife and daughters.  Mark was an amazing family man.
He touched many with his kindness and we will miss him deeply.
My sincere condolences

My husband Dave and I both worked with Mark at Sparrow.  He was a welcome addition to our pharmacy family.   He kept his focus on the most important people, the patients. He took his job, but not himself, seriously. He knew we could get the job done and still have fun.  He and Katie would solve a problem for a patient and he would high-five and proclaim “who’s your daddy!”. He and Gitanya were always joking with each other.  He and I were “dude” to each other.   I had always planned on checking off one of my bucket list items and  get a motorcycle ride.  Mark was the only person who Dave said it would be okay to do that because Mark was a safe driver. But God had a different plan.  My heart breaks for Ellen and their girls Erin, Kelly and Lauryn. I never heard Mark complain about any of them. He was so proud of his daughters.  May God grant peace to you all. Know that he was well loved by his friends too and we miss him already. As he would say at the end of a shift “We did that. Good work!” Rest easy Dude. We’ll take it from here. 

Sending love, prayers and hugs to the Cummings family. I have had a chance to know Mr. Cummings through dad as they worked together at Sparrow. I have seen my dad go through many jobs and make many friends but one thing I can tell about him was how much he loved and respected Mr. Cummings. There never has been a single day where he never mentioned about him and what they talk about daily. I love the produce he sent us that he grew specially for dad and us. He really means a lot to dad and us. I just want to end this by saying thank you to the whole family and also to Mr. Cummings for making my dad the happiest at work. We will surely miss him and keep you all in our prayers. May he Rest In Peace and we are always here for you all. Please reach out and stay in touch. Love- Gitagna and family 

Sending love and hugs to The Cummings family. I had the opportunity to know Mr Mark through my dad. He was my dad’s best friend at work and my dad talked about him all the time. I admired his passion for farming and loved that he remembered small details about the people around him. I wish I could have met you in person but I’ll always remember our few FaceTime calls. You will be missed. Rest easy  Mr. Mark. 
Love,
Gitagna and family. 

Mark, 
I will miss you. Although we have grown apart in our later years, I will never forget when we were young and didn't have a care in the world, and all of the crazy things we did as kids. Your family always treated me as one of their own and all the time we spent time together provided me with so much joy and fond memories. Art, Tim, Mark, and Jerry, in the neighborhood, such good times. And the drive to Ferris State College in that 1958 Buick Special, we were on cloud 9 cruising down the highway.  Yes, we spent some good times together hunting, playing, and just enjoying growing up together.  I hope you enjoyed my friendship as much as I enjoyed yours. 

Sitting here remembering all the fun times we had as kids and the weekly get togethers at mom and dads!  I know you are in heaven, say hi to Uncle Tim and Aunt Diane.  
Love you, Juanita Monger (Shupe)

My heartfelt thoughts to The Cumming’s family and friends.   Mark will be missed so very much.  The memories of the motor cycle rides through the countryside, playing golf even on rainy days at the cottage, the amazing cookouts where there was always so much food, the holiday celebrations, playing euchre and so many more.  I’m grateful for the memories.

Ellen, I didn’t get to meet Mark in person, yet I feel we are all God’s children so I can  maybe call him “brother.”   To lose someone so dear to you, your family, and friends  really tug at everyone’s heart strings, yet through our tears of sadness there is that glimmer of gladness that “Jesus has this”.  We continue to trust, pray and be thankful for all we had, the years shared, memories that live on until the day we all meet again.  Peace be with you, Kelly, Erin, Lauryn, and Jordan.  So very very sorry for you loss. God be with you. Love, prayers, and hugs to each of you. 

I’m deeply sorry for you and your families lost. I enjoyed our times with you and Mark over the years at the ice rink. Mike, Kelly and I wish we could attend the funeral service but  we will be in Florida. 
Love,
Barb Barden

We mourn the tremendous loss of our friend Mark. We have fantastic memories of so many motorcycle rides together. Riding to different HD dealers for a passport stamp, or some special riding event, or just simply meeting up for a little shopping. Tom and Mark spent a lot of hours customizing their bikes, or even just talking about how to improve that ride. It was always the adventure that was key. We looked forward to Mark and Chuck coming up north for opening day. That meant we had a chance to meet up for dinner, or even have them over. Mark would always catch us up on what the girls were doing, or the latest food recipe that he and Ellen had just tried. Mark's fun loving laugh, and great sense of humor is what Tom and I will carry with us in our memories, and smile, as we know he will be smiling with us always. 

We thank Mark for being such a special part of our lives for over 20 years.  We will miss Mark’s amazing sense of humor, his kindness and generosity and friendship towards us more than words can say.  Our heart goes out to Ellen, Erin, Kelly, Lauryn and Jordon and his extended family and friends.  Mark will be missed every hour of everyday until we join him and dwell in Our Fathers House forever….

Ellen,
I’m so sorry for your loss. My fondest memories of Mark are the golf outings we all attended together. I pray for strength, peace and healing for you and your family in this difficult time.

Pam (Harkness) Moynahan
