Mark was a wonderful mentor to me when I started my first job always generous with his time, guidance, and support. I’ll never forget his competitive spirit during our cornhole tournaments, where he’d even squeeze in some practice before the games. Above all, Mark deeply valued his family and always made time for them. He will be greatly missed
I was fortunate to work on Mark's team for a few years. I was green, still new to tech with way too much to learn. Mark's mentorship and patience helped me grow not only professionally, but personally as well. He was the best. I'll never forget his kindness, intelligence, and humor.
Rest easy, Mark, and thank you for everything.
Sending love and condolences to the Bowens.
I took this news very hard. Having worked side-by-side with Mark for over 20 years - we were very close colleagues. He was the main reason I wanted to work and stay at my job for so long, to work along with him. I can say the same for the others in our small Labs-CM to Dev-Ops teams over the years. He genuinely cared about your life, family beyond the struggles of the day-to-day being on the job, with always a small joke before we get to how fix this mess. He made hard and stressful work go easily. I can still hear is sense of humor and one liners. Always short and to the point -- We would always say "that's Bowen" -- I still think when getting up in the morning I wonder Bowen thought about last night's game. That - I hope will never go away. How he could remember everything, quickly grasp new things and had the patience (after to waiting to take time form his busy work) to explain it to you. I am taking it hard -- but his memory will continue live. And it will be up earlier than me every morning. love and prayers - we can't take life for granted.

Our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Mark's entire family. We knew Mark for a short four years through the Heritage HS marching band. We admired him, learned from him, and laughed with him during many band events. His passing is a tremendous loss to the band family. We pray that happy memories of him bring you comfort and peace.

John, Jennifer, Adam, Todd & Jason Markatos
Your family means so much us. Mark meant a lot to many people, we will miss his smile and jokes on Saturday mornings during bowling. He was always willing to help the kids learn to bowl, and trying to move the games along so we would not be there all day. We know his family meant to world to him.
