I have just been informed by a friend of his that Mark died earlier this week from a heart attack. I'm still shocked by this news, as I was enjoying Mark's contributions on his Google+ account as recently as last week.
Mark was not only a fellow atheist; he was a fellow atheist coping with life in the bible belt. We always had that in common. He was also a great guy and someone I always looked forward to reading. He will definitely be missed, and I am saddened by the news of his departure.
Here is a link to Mark's obituary.
