It is still hard to believe that Mark has been gone 10 years. I think about him often and really miss the Man who I thought of as my Brother. The sadness I still feel today from his passing is testimony to how much he meant to so many people and I know how fortunate I was to call him my friend. Rest in peace Mark and hopefully some day we will see each other again.....your "Brother" Rick

Mark was the best brother in law I could ever have. He was always kind, always understanding and always had a good word to say about everyone. He was always there when we needed him, always willing to help with whatever we needed. We all loved him so much, even our dogs loved him! He will be missed so very much. I hope you are so happy in heaven Mark! We will see you again someday.

Mark (and Jeff Taylor) was always at our house when my husband and I had our first son. Over the next several years He became part of our family and my oldest son still refers to him as "Uncle Mark". While we haven't seen him often lately, we still considered him family. Our prayers are with his friends and family at this time. He was a great man who will be missed, but we carry with us many, many fond memories of our time together in West Chicago and St. Charles. RIP dear friend.

To Scott,Steve,Tim and Kay,
First and foremost my deepest condolences for your loss. Mark was like a brother to me and it's really unbelievable to me that he's gone.I will certainly miss his friendship as well as his kindness and I can not think of anyone who was a better person than Mark.Knowing him made me a better man and calling him my friend for 28 years was a privilege. Hope you're hitting those 300 yard drives in Heaven !!

To the family of Mark Gunn,
I did not see him often these past few years, but it was always a pleasant experience when I ran into him. Mark was always such a very nice man, it is hard to believe that when I am walking in North Aurora I wont see him out doing yard work or get a chance to chat with him again. He will be missed. My deepest condolences.

Mark was a good man. I worked with him for a number of years, but hadn’t seen him in quite awhile. I’ll remember him as a hard worker who loved his family and someone who I enjoyed talking to and spending time with. He will be missed. RIP Mark
