    Shellye and Ryan,
    I am so very sorry to hear of Uncle John Marks passing. I always will remember coming to your house when we were younger and him watching us play in the front yard.
    I know this will be a difficult time for you. Please reach out if you need anything. I think of you both often.
    Sincere sympathies. Kim, David, Ashley, Drake

    John Mark was my cousin, whom I did not know well until he came to Denison high school and sat in front of me in home room. He was handsome, funny, very charismatic (everyone seemed to like him!), and quite the athlete. I wish I had known him better and for longer.

    I’m so sorry to hear of his passing, and I send my condolences to his family. May his memory give you comfort in the coming years.

    Many childhood memories of John Mark growing up. Riding his Blue Cushman Scooter on the weekends and having Cheese toast and Gravy his mom fixed for breakfast. RIP my friend.
