Paw Paw is the title that Mark was most proud of. He was an amazing and loving grandfather to his grandchildren. He made sure to be present and show them all the love a Paw Paw could. He loved spending time with them and watching them grow. After experiencing the loss of his daughter, he made it his mission to be present for the children and grandchildren that he had remaining. Along the way he managed to find his way back to the Lord and church. This brought a great sense of pride to his son and daughter. He was a loving father, grandfather and husband who was deeply cherished by his family. His dedication to his loved ones and his desire to support others in achieving their dreams is truly inspiring. He will be missed.

The family wants to extend their sincere appreciation to all the first responders, medical staff at UMC – Lubbock and Dallas Peña with Allied. Words will never be enough.
