Dang. Emp/Mark and I had kept in touch over the years and even attended a couple of games live together.
I knew he was ailing based on some conversations we'd had over the past several months, and had reached out recently to check in a couple times and got no response. I feared maybe he had a turn for the worse and it appears this was the case. I'm truly sorry to hear this. He was a good man, a true patriot and a diehard Cowboys fan. He had a saving faith in Christ so I know I'll see him again some day.
Rest in peace friend. Well done good and faithful servant. You'll be missed.
