Mark, who was always an animal lover, later worked as a drug dog handler at various schools in the central Texas area and as an Animal Control Officer for the City of Lockhart until he had to leave due to health reasons. Mark had a love of music and enjoyed camping and time spent at his parents place in rural Caldwell County.
