He had an incredible sense of humor that ranged from bone dry to outrageous; he loved to laugh and enjoyed life immensely. Mark worked at Century Books and Videos in the mid-seventies, where he discovered his love for movies, from musicals, comedies, westerns, classics, and especially foreign films. There were very few that he couldn't identify the director and producer. Marked moved to Cerrillos, N.M. just outside Santa Fe in the early eighties, where he built his dream home, taking a barren piece of land and making it into his own paradise, where he could be who he truly was. He spent the last three years of his life in Fort Worth.
Survivors: Mother, Lona Thomas of Fort Worth; sister, Cheryl Lovett of Decatur; many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews; and by many friends across the country.
