Mark A. Vallas, age 24, beloved son of Paul and Sharon (nee Koldenhoven). Loving brother of Paul and Gus. Cherished grandson of Dean and Ruth Koldenhoven and Gust and Mary Vallas. Dear nephew, cousin, and friend of many.

Mark loved to meet people in all walks of life. His engaging smile, ready sense of humor, and non-judgmental approach to life left a lasting legacy for all who were blessed to know him.
