In his spare time, Mark enjoyed car shows, hot rods, NHRA drag racing, NASCAR, or basically anything that moved fast. Mark could fix or build anything and one of the things he kept going was his 1997 Suburban with almost half a million miles on it. Mark, along with several friends, built a 1937 Chevy truck that won numerous awards, appeared in several magazines and was runner-up for Truck of the Year. He also loved Thursday Harley Davidson nights with the biker gang. Mark was the family designated photographer. He always enjoyed his cameras and taking photos of family and friends. He loved his grandchildren, Rylee and Kayden and would take a photo every chance he could. He treasured spending time with his family, especially family vacations. As a young boy, Mark was confirmed in the Lutheran Church, but most recently he and Sherry were attending the First Baptist Church in Swedeborg, Missouri.
