11, 2018.

He was born June 11, 1963, in Hot Springs, to Odis Earl and Margie Lee (Bradford) Tyler.

Mark was a loving father and husband of 31 years. He was known for his infectious smile and big hugs to brighten ones day. Mark was passionate about fishing, hunting and the outdoors. He also enjoyed all of his time with “the breakfast club,” which kept him well fed many days after work.

His legacy will be carried on by his co-workers, fishing buddies and most of all his family.
