Mark passed away on Tuesday, not Thursday - let's leave it at that.
He was coaching Chapin Middle School Football after 9 years + of coaching Chapin High School ball so that he had more time for family. His daytime job was teaching in Lexington.
Tragic doesn't begin to describe this whole situation. The his step-daughter, his boys, the entire town of Chapin is in mourning.
Mark was legendary and bigger than life.
He will be terribly missed....
