The memory that I think defines Mark as the great person I know him as was during a ninth grade football when he and I were playing full back and tail back respectively. It was a drive at the end of the game and I got the ball down most of the field through some good runs then when we got down to near the goal line Mark was given the touch and punched it in for the TD. I didn't anything of it because we're a team and any touchdown is cool with me, but after the run he came up to me as we were running back to the sidelines and said "You deserved to get that touchdown, Thom." That really stuck with me because I don't know many people who would do that, hell I'm not even really sure I would have thought to do that, but that's just Mark.
I haven't seen Mark in a few years but I hear he's doing some good things in the body building world and I wish him the best.
Cheers to you mate.
