Mark was outgoing by nature, and he never met a stranger. He absolutely loved spending time with his family. He was always doing something crazy to make you laugh. He was always trying to help people around him and that got him into trouble at times.

Most important to him was his kids and grandkids. He will forever be remembered as a loving, goofy and devoted husband, dad, granddad, friend, and brother.

He leaves a ton of cherished memories by his survivors his children Lori Akers (Paul), Tiffany Cooney Steele (Marques), Mark A. Cooney (Morgan).
