I have great memories of Mark as a child. When I was 8 years old, I remember going over and visiting Mark with my mother. Mark was more than a cousin he was like an uncle to me. He will be missed by myself and the Pugh family. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. Love; Trista Hicks, Deb Pugh, Betty Pugh, Chubber Pugh, Dennis Pugh, and Pugh Family.
