Mark was a very sweet and caring person. He dated my aunt Patti Eagans a few times and he would come down the street to visit. His family and he lived up the street from us on Second Street and I remember Mark would always swing on his tire swing so very high. I was much younger than he was by 12 years. I moved in on 210 West Second Street when I was 9 and always loved watching him swing he had in the tree in his front yard. I will never forget the night he passed away it was way after dark and possibly after midnight when I heard the explosion. I had a friend staying the night with me and we just had eaten some watermelon and were giggling when all of a sudden the house shook and a ball of fire lit up the night sky. I remember hearing Mark screaming for help. I do not know if his family was there at the time but if my memory serves me correctly, they were not at home. He was all by himself. I was told there was a lot of fireworks in a box next to his chair in the front room which was the first thought of the explosion but it was later determined by the fire chief that it was due to a gas leak in the house. My parents awoke from their sleep to me screaming at them that Mark was crying for help and someone needed to save him. My father hadn't any clothes on except for his white underwear and he ran up the street barefooted to help Mark, but it was too late and the fire was too hot to get close enough to help. It traumatized us all. I will always remember Mark being such a sweet person who would come visit my aunt and me when he would come visit from his school for the deaf. He would teach me a little sign language. He took my aunt Patti on a few dates and he would drive his car around town. I often think of him and what would have happened to him if that gas leak would have never happened to us all that night. I would have loved to have had him for an uncle. May he always rest in peaceful slumber. Staci Lee Eagans-Shroyer
