We just heard this sad news. Markus often hunted on our property with his friend Mark Demetros. We haven't seen him recently, but have always thought of him with great love and affection.
Our sympathy to you all
May our Lord give you His peace with the promise of life ever lasting.

Howard and Carol Visscher and family

Our family had been left with a huge hole. Who will we laugh at when the kids are playing in grandpas yard and you won't be there to run full speed into his shed! You have been an amazing brother in law for the past 30 years, I will truly miss you😥 Love you Mark John!

To all of Mark's family I am sorry to hear that he has passed away. My family and his family have been connected for years through the fire department and I drove school bus the same time Mark did a years ago. On behalf of my family I extend our deepest sympathy.

His family wasn't sure if you were able to hear of this sad news. I'm sure your ears were ringing Mario because we talked about you and the rest of the guys that hung out with Mark John. Sorry you were unable to attend. Thank you for the condolences.

Katie & Kailey, we are so sorry for your loss. Our family gatherings will not be the same without Markus. We thought of him as a "brother from another mother". Markus was always willing to help and did so on many occasions. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Love, Bill & Lynne Demetros
