  1. I am very saddened to read this. From around the age of 2, I was at Mark's house a lot for several years. His dad and mine worked together at Burbank FD, and his mom and mine were great friends. Mark and I got in tons of trouble while playing at his house. We also played a lot of board games and basketball together, along with my younger brother Tim. I always looked up to Mark, as he was 3 years older than me and seemed to know what he wanted even at a young age. May he rest in peace.
