I knew Mark first as a customer, but he became a friend. Mark was one of the most honest, caring, and loving people I know. Fiercely loyal, he adored his wife, daughter, and granddaughter. He could be deadly serious but also hilarious at times. He would laugh at the sometimes absurd world we live in, but would choose to believe in God and the future nevertheless. We will mourn him but never forget him. He was truly “one of the good guys.” I am grateful for the impact he had on my life. Godspeed my friend!
He was a great dad… to many little girls on the Girl Scout trips. He was a quiet but a fierce and watchful protector. He led the caravan down some roads, that to this day, I’m not sure they have names. He knew, we followed, and we forged friendships.
Thanks Mark for investing in our girls.

Mark was a great classmate growing up, he has a Beautiful Bride. Sherrie, May God bless you with his piece and comfort.
I didn’t know Mark well, but I knew his dad, V.T. Very strong resemblence to his dad. Very sorry to hear of his passing. There are a lot of really fine people in the LaRocca family who will definitely miss him greatly.
Totally shocked to see this post after seeing Sherry and Mark at our dentist appointments several weeks ago. Everything was good and then this notice. My heart goes out to you and your family, prayers for all of you. God bless your precious family.
Deepest condolences from his family @ Wesley Methodist Church
Sherrie, James and I are so sorry to see this. You and the rest of the family will be in our thoughts and prayers. He was a good man and I know he will be missed.
