The news of his passing has left family, friends, and neighbors in deep grief, struggling to comprehend how such a devastating act could happen within their peaceful community.
According to the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS), Mark was found deceased in what authorities have classified as a homicide. A 27-year-old Port Colborne resident, Brady Neff, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the case.

His loved ones remember him for his humor, his loyalty, and his deep care for those around him. Whether sharing a quiet conversation, lending a helping hand, or simply being there when someone needed him, Mark made an impact that words can scarcely capture.
His sudden and violent passing has left his family shattered and a community mourning a life that deserved so much more. Those close to him speak of a man who valued family above all else — a devoted son, a loving relative, and a loyal friend whose presence could brighten anyone’s day.
As Niagara comes to terms with this tragedy, many have gathered to honor Mark’s memory, sharing stories that celebrate his warmth, his laughter, and the countless ways he touched lives. Though the pain of his loss will linger, so too will the love he gave so freely.
Mark’s life, though cut short, will not be defined by the tragedy that ended it, but by the compassion, kindness, and light he brought into the world. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, serving as a reminder to hold our loved ones close and to never take a single day for granted.
May his soul rest peacefully, and may his family and friends find comfort in the love and support surrounding them during this unimaginable time.
