Always supportive of others in their careers, many long-time associates remember Mark, to this day, as
one of the most helpful, supportive and inspiring people they have ever worked with. Though Mark met
and worked with many sports teams and celebrities over the years – one of his favorite memories was
that of meeting Pope John Paul II and directing his travel while in the USA. Mark was a quiet, laid-back
kind of guy who always had time for others and had interesting stories and jokes to tell.

He loved his Border Collies who seldom left his side. He enjoyed playing his guitar, watching football
and watching golf, playing golf and talking golf with Jan!!

Mark leaves behind to cherish his memory, his loving wife Jan, his 2 children whom he loved beyond
words, son Jeffrey (Courtney) Coleman of Portland, Oregon, daughter Carrie (Ben) Bost of Meridian,
Idaho, 5 wonderful grandchildren, brother Tom Coleman of Park City, Utah and a niece and nephew.
Jan’s entire family mourns the loss of Mark as a cherished family member.

In lieu of services, Mark requested private family remembrance only.
