How can I even begin to explain to you how much I love you? Honestly I could sit here until I was as old as you are and never even get the first word to form... I don't know how many times I've said it before but I'm going to say it once more; I couldn't have asked for a better Father, Best Friend, Card Partner and so very much more. It's going to be so hard not calling you every day just to get on your nerves, but I will carry you and all my amazing memories of you with me forever.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends Mark has touched. Mark was a brother to me and will be greatly missed.

—Pete Lohr

Love you so much brother, you are one of a kind, always there no matter what you were going through yourself without complaint nor need to brag, you kept me out of jail so many times I can't even count, got me out too. Lol, I may not have been blood but you would have spilt it for me. You never asked for anything in return. I am confident your at peace now, I would light a candle in your memory. But that many lights would cause the biggest forest fire in US history. You will always be part of my life. I hope you knew this when you was here, Love you, we only said that maybe 3 or 4 times through out so that's enough of the touchy Feely stuff, you know what it is Old Goat
