Mark worked as a VP of Information Technology for Valley Fruit & Produce over 28 years. Mark enjoyed watching basketball and football. His all-time favorite teams are the Lakers and Raiders. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends playing dominos, fishing, reading and listening to music.

He was a loving father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.  Mark had the ability to show his love for those he was around at all times.   He loved people and always wanted the best for everyone.  Mark was one of the most loyal, giving and selfless men that you could meet.  If you were part of his family or a friend, you know what that means.  Mark’s loyalty and love was also shown through his extended family at Valley Fruit & Produce for 28+ years.  Marks smile and presence would light up a room as he was one of the gentlest purest souls. He was kind, understanding, and patient and not with only family and friends, but to complete strangers too. He was a great example of who we should strive to be when it comes to treating others. Mark made an impacted on everyone that he crossed paths with. As many of us can share stories and memories on how he made personal sacrifices, encouraged and loved us. Mark would want for us to continue to move forward and be the best we can be.  We will always remember his love, encouragement, sacrifice and laughter.
