Mark, a beloved former son of St. Charles, MO is leaving behind a legacy of creativity and independence. Born and raised in St. Charles, he was a cherished member of a family deeply rooted in the community, where he was involved for a time in his family’s funeral business.
Mark’s adventurous spirit led him to California, where he pursued his dream of becoming an actor. Never losing sight of his love for St. Charles, he remained connected with his dedication to co-managing the Facebook page “I grew up in St. Charles and I remember…Past and Present” which has over 13,700 members. As his career in acting was winding down, he additionally found happiness in exploring the scenic beauty of his new home state.
Mark’s artistic journey led him to wedding photography where he captured the joyful moments of countless couples. His passions in life include yoga, cycling on the many trails and mountains in California and surrounding states, riding his motorcycle on long trips and adventures both in the US and Germany, and photographing the stunning landscapes of California along with the many places he traveled to both nationally and internationally.
Living a life of freedom and independence was important to Mark who embraced each day with enthusiasm and a zest for new experiences. His work not only reflected his love for the world around him but also his desire to live on his own terms. Mark’s vibrant spirit and artistic gifts will be remembered by all who knew him. We will miss his unique perspective and joyful presence. We hope you will join us in remembering and celebrating the life of a man who saw the world through a lens of beauty and wonder.
