Dear friends and family,

With heavy hearts, we sadly share the passing of Mark McGowan on Thursday, June 21, 2012. Mark was on his way to meet an old friend when he tragically slipped and fell down a flight of stairs outside his apartment. Although paramedics valiantly tried to save him, his injuries were too great to overcome.

Surrounded by his immediate family, Mark will be laid to rest at Ascension Cemetery located in Lake Forest, CA close to his parents home. Although we are saddened to say goodbye at far too early an age, we take comfort that Mark will forever reside in our hearts as a loving son, brother and uncle with a joyous spirit and kindhearted soul.

Thank you for all of your kind thoughts and prayers.

Jim and Cathy McGowan
