Debbie & Family,

We are so sorry to learn of Mark's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are saddened by Mark’s passing. As a neighbor, he was cheerful and kind. We watched him play with Kim and snuggle baby Devin. We followed his career and the family’s moves through Christmas cards. We send fond wishes and sympathy to Debbie, Kim and Devin.

To the Groves family, to Devon and Cassandra, and to your extended family, our hearts are saddened with you and our prayers covering you! We honor Mark and his impact beyond his community and the Kingdom work he's done for God. Through you, his memory and his charitable sacrifice will live on. Take solace in one another and find comfort through your tears. With the biggest hugs and shoulders to cry on, we're here for you and we love you.

Debbie, Kim, Devin and family,
I'm so sad to hear about Mark's passing. He blessed my life in so many ways. He taught me how to pray and how to ask the big questions and dwell in the mystery. Mark asked me the question that changed the trajectory of my life--"Have you ever thought about being a pastor?" For the many years of sharing my call story, Mark has always been a part of it. I'm giving thanks for his life and the part of the journey we shared. I'm holding your family in prayer and all those who loved him and were loved by him. May God hold you in love.

To Marks family, I met Mark many years ago when I served with him at Leadership Lab on the campus of Augustana College. I can’t say enough great things about him. My deepest sympathies go out to all of his family and friends. Cindy Svanda

Today at Immanuel's Adult Forum, we read Mark's obituary and shared our memories. Please know that he is remembered with so many fond thoughts. Prayers to you, his family. He will not be forgotten.

Debbi, Kim, Devon and families,

The impact Mark had on me as a young member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Dixon cannot be overstated. He was such a big part of my high school years and my faith journey. He was so loved, and I thought of him often over the years. I know he struggled with some things, but he was the living embodiment of love and acceptance. He will forever be a part of my life and those he touched. Condolences and love to your entire family. Please know his memory and legacy lives on.
