He met Stephanie Robinson in Gardner, KS.  They later married and started their life together.  They moved to the Collinsville area over 20 years ago. Mark was a carpenter and also a custodian at the First Baptist Church of Collinsville.  Mark was a fan of baseball and even coached his son’s and grandson’s baseball teams. He also enjoyed hunting.
