Mark was a life member of the Jay Township Volunteer Fire Department and served as a forest fire warden.  He was instrumental in starting Boy Scout Troop 180 where he was able to share his love for the outdoors.  Mark enjoyed fishing, camping, dirt track racing, and had a special affinity for birds.  He enjoyed making jewelry for the most important people in his life, his family.  He had a lust for life.  There was nothing that would stop Mark from truly enjoying the life that he had.
