Mark spearheaded a team that invented a groundbreaking machine, detecting crucial proteins indicative of heart muscle damage post-heart attack. He was a Christian, a loving son, husband, father, grandfather, friend to many, surfer, musician, athlete, chef, and traveler..
RIP sweet Mark! We will miss you!
