On September 8th 1990 at St. Ann's church in Butte, Mark married the love of his life and high school sweetheart Cheryl Mufich with whom he would spend the next 26 years with. In 1991 Mark and Cheryl moved to the Seattle area where Mark began his career as an Electrical Engineer with RH2 Engineering. Mark's time with RH2 was marked with great success as a trusted partner by clients and extremely reliable and forward thinking co-worker, mentor and engineer who was instrumental in the success and growth of the business. In 1995 Mark took an opportunity to relocate to the Wenatchee Valley where he would spend the rest of his career with RH2. In 1994 Mark and Cheryl welcomed into the world a daughter Paighton, followed by sons Grady in 1997 and Hudson in 2003. To Mark his family was his world, he rarely missed an opportunity to be involved in the activities his children were participating in. Mark served as the President of the Wenatchee Barracuda Swim Program, sat on the Board of Directors of the Wenatchee Youth Baseball League and at any given time was coaching baseball, basketball, soccer, football or softball. When Mark wasn't coaching he could be found cheering from the stands, rarely missing a game, meet or tournament.

The family would like to thank all the friends and family who offered support through this difficult time, especially Mike and Julie McKay, Nick and Lesah Harris, Dr. Toby Long and countless others. Mark was a fighter from the first diagnosis right up until the end, staying as strong as he could for his family and friends. Mark cherished the time he had, making it a priority to live each day to its absolute fullest. His time with Cheryl and their children through the last two years was spent with a lot of laughter, a lot of smiles and most importantly an endless amount of love as only Mark could provide.
