   My dearest friend/brother – I will miss our conversations, advice, and just having a good time with you. I’m saddened that ZaZa will have to grow into the person God has ordained him to be without. I know to be absent from the body is to be in God’s Eternal presence. I pray for peace for your love ones and that you are resting in God’s arms. Gone Too soon my friend

   Dear Mark,
   I wish there was more time we shared. I feel like we knew each other for so long. I saw you as my uncle in my family. And Zay as my little brother. You truly were a diamond dozen. I’ll miss those silly FaceTime calls and you dropping by the house. It won’t be the same without you.
   My condolences,
   Sydney Toney.

   The last time I saw Mark was on 18 February 2023 when a group of us gathered in NOVA to have a meal and to celebrate life. Mark showed up with his son, Zay in tow. We ate, talked and laughed with each other and had a good time catching up. We closed out the evening with a group picture that captured the moment.

   To know Mark is to have loved him. He returned that love to his family and friends….especially to Zay.

   We pray for Zay and the other family members Mark has left behind. We stand on God’s word that, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest in Jesus Mark, Zay will be alright. Your friends are here to make sure he grows up to be the man you hoped for him to be.🙏

   The last time that I saw Mark was over thirty years ago. He was in town visiting his family after a merchant marine deployment. We were very excited to see each other and I told him how great it was that he chose the profession. There are a lot of good memories of playing basketball after school on the former JEB Stuart Elementary’s basketball court. Like his brothers and younger cousins, Mark was a pretty good on the court. We laughed, played, and argued. However, all of us in the neighborhood looked forward to playing together each day. Mark will truly be missed and loved by many of us who grew up with him, worked with him, and knew him in some fashion. I pray that our Heavenly Father comforts and surround the family with His abundant love, His peace, and joyful memories of Mark. In Jesus Messiah’s name, Amen.

     My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Mark for numerous years and we had many talks about work, life and his son. He was so proud to be a father! Zay, he loved you with all his heart and know his spirit is with you.
