Sally, Penn, Alex and Taylor,
My heart is sad for your loss. Mark was so humble, caring and giving. He had many wonderful qualities and helped me during a very rough time.
Mark was one of the wittiest and most erudite people I have known. I have worked with him for almost 15 years. He could made calendar call actually fun. He had not a mean bone in his body or mean thought in his head. We will miss him. The Court system is the poorer for his loss.
Sally, I am so sorry to hear about Mark and am deeply sorry for yours and your sons loss. Sending lots of love and light to you. Love, Kathy Dee

Dear Jenkins family,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy in your great sorrow. I used to work for the DSS and have fond memories of Mark as we used to work together. He was always a gentleman and a good friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Amy Huber
Dear family:
We had only known Mark for a short period of time but we gained both a professional and personal friendship. He was a great man and may he always be remembered for that. He was a man with intestinal fortitude, strength, humility and kindness. We shall never, ever forget him and we thank God that we knew him.
Rest in peace, Mark. You will be missed.
I got to know Mark while practicing law in Waynesville. Mark was a compassionate, intelligent, modest, and good person. I wrote a brief message in today’s Mountaineer’s opinion page, which I cut out, and affixed to my desk, so as to never forget the need to be compassionate, and understanding, even when things are not self-evident. I will miss Mark greatly.
I worked with Mark about 10 years ago and always enjoyed talking with him. He had some great stories and always had something funny to say. He will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
I only knew Mark as a fellow business owner on Main St. in Waynesville. I knew Mark as a good fun and helpful individual.
I will be praying for the family during this difficult time.I enjoyed working with Mark through the years in the Haywood County Register of Deeds Office.Sincerely Amy Murray Warren

I have your whole family in my prayers. Mark was my cousin. Sadly, I haven’t seen him in many years. I was stunned to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathies go out to Sally and their children, to Layne, Hope, and Amanda. May God hold you all close, and grant you His strength and His peace that passes all understanding.
Love, Renee (Stone) Brown
Dearest Sally;
Sam was texting a recent graduate and learned of your husband’s passing. We are all so sorry and feel so sad for your and your sons’ loss. Just knowing you, we know he was a special man who most likely had a very big, warm heart. As the days pass, please know that you are in our hearts and prayers, and we hope your beautiful smile will return, comforted by happy memories that bring you strength and sustenance.
With affection- Scott and Leslie Harper, and Sam
