January 5, 2021 at 5:43 pmJohnson Group has been a client of ours for many years. As Mark was my primary contact it was my absolute pleasure to work with him over the years. I just heard about his passing today and am very saddened by the news. I can tell you that during my dealings with Mark, he was always a man of action but was also always kind and always patient. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you navigate this very difficult first year without the man that meant so much to so many. Blessings. Debbie Jones (Green Turf Irrigation Company).

November 23, 2020 at 11:37 pmMark was first guitarist with Scarecrow Joe 2013-2018. I have to thank Mark for playing one of my favs “Blue Monday” by New Order and for surprising me with “Shout” by Tears For Fears on my birthday at one of their gigs in 2015. This message is to honor the years of fun and the music we all shared with Mark. It was a blast!

November 28, 2020 at 6:58 pmKindness, humility, and the well-placed “Doh!” are key to the college memories I have of Mark. To his family, his boys, and Anne, words escape me. I just know that Mark’s gentle spirit has been commended into the arms of God and you all have an amazing guardian angel watching over you now. My family and I will continue to lift you all up in prayer during this devastating time.

Mark is a cousin of mine that I unfortunately never got the opportunity to meet, however family is family, and we are very saddened for your loss. God gives us peace beyond all understanding, I hope knowing Mark is at peace with his heavenly father consoles you all during this difficult time. A piece of Mark is alive in everyone he knew and loved. This is a great picture to remember him. Rest in peace Mark.
With Love
