A legacy of Love By Charity

L is for love of all people. Uncle Mark never met a stranger, he made many of us smile or laugh. A man Full of love and unafraid to show it.

E is for energetic, he was a hard worker. It didn't matter how he was feeling he was going to work. We would come down to visit and had to go on jobs with him just to get as much time as we could.

G is for God-fearing. He recognized early on what God's expectations were of him as he led other disciples to Christ for over 50 years

A is for admiration, a man of inspiration for many, a walking testimony of love, Faith, and strong will

C is for Caring. He cared about people. A man of generosity. Giving whole heartedly

Y is for yielding, A man of many gifts and talents, knowledge and wisdom. A sower that would plant seeds of wisdom daily in everyone he spoke with. The Bible tells us that we should know others by the fruit they bear, Uncle John Mark Thomas beared the fruit of the Spirit.

A man that has been an example of how to show genuine love for the generations that have come behind him and we are so grateful to have had an awesome example of that love.

We love you Uncle Mark and we will miss you ♥️♥️♥️

My heart is heavy to hear the passing of this solider for the Lord. He was a man of few words but was a preaching machine that stood on the word of the lord. There is only one Pastor Mark Thomas. Father, give this family as well as his church family the comfort and peace that need in this season. Pastor T.D. Pierce Sr. and Family.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. the Jennings Family.
