Well Mark, my friend, I will miss and always remember you. Remembering you will be easy, as you are the second good friend that I've lost on my birthday. I have to think it's your way of having the last laugh. We go back a ways old buddy and I will always fondly recall our workout days, the laughs we had, and you always waving me to the front of the line in the good old St. B bouncer days. We had some good conversations while you were ill and were well aware of the outcome, rest assured I meant every word my friend. My most heartfelt condolences to Judy and your precious boys ... rest in peace magistrate. - Posted by: Keith Gauthier (Friend) on: Oct 23, 2023

Dear Judy & boys so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Dad(Andy) always spoke so highly of Mark as one of his dearest friends & hunting buddies. So many stories & special memories they shared while both working at the Sheriff’s Dept. Mark was definitely a kind heart & quiet spirit for Dad. Its heartwarming to think that maybe they will cross paths once again. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. - Posted by: Debby Jandavs (daughter of Andy) on: Aug 29, 2023

Mark will be deeply missed by our entire neighborhood . Our neighbor who became a friend . Always willing to chip in . You could always count on Mark to help with shoveling or mowing or just a good chat . All the days Mark spent playing hockey or catch out front with our son and other neighborhood kids ....are precious memories that we will treasure forever 💙 Kind compassionate and generous are just a few words that describe such a mighty man . We were lucky to have lived across the street from such a wonderful guy 😢🙏🏼💙 Deepest deepest sympathies to Judy Tristan and Brett and the rest of Mark's family - Posted by: Su Doug Colton (Friend ) on: Aug 27, 2023

I worked with Mark for many years with the Province and he was always the most kindest and a genuine friend. We lived a street over from one another and he would always offer me toys, items for my boys that his sons outgrew. My youngest would sometimes play street hockey with other kids in front of Mark’s place and my son would always talk about my “nice friend from work” who would come and play with them. We communicated while Mark was sick and he always had the attitude of not going out without a fight. And that man fought. I’ll miss you Mark. Condolences to your family for your loss. - Posted by: Desmond Clarke (Coworker ) on: Aug 26, 2023
