I am so sorry for your loss, Mark was a nice guy and a good police officer.
Deepest sympathy ❤️🩹 God has called him home! Love you all🥰
Mark and I worked in the same squad/area in the 2nd District. What a great guy he was! God bless you, Mark, as you start your new adventure in Heaven.
I’m so sorry to hear of about Mark’s passing. Mark was a big part of my childhood, teenage years and early adulthood. I will miss him dearly. Every time I think of him, it makes me smile. Lots of memories and great stories from grade school, high school and our 1st couple of jobs together.
Mark was my first real partner in the SLMPD. More than anything, I remember laughing with him for pretty much the ENTIRE shift. And after the shift too, on many nights.
All the love in the world to Gina and all those near and dear to him.
Godspeed my Friend.
Mark was a great guy. We had a great squad lead by Sgt Wilbert Grove. Dan. Trish. Mark. Wes. Dave. Love you my friend. You will be missed.
