He worked his youngest years with friends at Chula Vista and later worked in sales for Billy Navarre Chevrolet. He worked the past 30 years for Johnson Funeral Home where he served countless families in their most difficult times. Mark's nature was a gift to all who knew him, he humbly helped and cared for friends and family with any request, especially in their time of need. He also loved to have a good time. He was a member of Krewe des Lunatiques for many years, was Duke with his Duchess Marion and King with his Queen Marion in 2002, he also served a second time as Duke and again in 2013 was King of the Krewe.

He was a member of the LCAPL Tuesday and Thursday night League, was ranked #1 and top 5 of the Top Gun For Men, and competed annually at the State Championship of which this year he entered from the #1 position. His down time was often spent fishing with his son, Patrick, family and friends or vegetable gardening with his son, Austin and bride, Marion, and also dining with his family and friends or watching a game in his recliner while spoiling his dogs. Amongst his greatest times were those he spent sailing the Caribbean with his family, some trips including friends, a tradition they began many years ago that became a two and three a year event. Mark will be most remembered as genuinely humble and kind, a loving son, loyal friend and adoring husband and father. He will be greatly missed.
