Mark is a PHFD alumni who started his fire service career with us in 2000. He served faithfully until 2005. He was well regarded and had many friends at the PHFD. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. He will be sorely missed.

Rest in Peace, Brother...
