Mark’s accomplishments as a skilled craftsman, ski coach at heavenly for 20 years, derby coach, nature lover, neighbor and caring zealous friend are without equal.  With a love for life, spunk and grit, he shared his passions with everyone he met.  We will miss his contagious smile and lust for life.

From his family....thank you for loving Mark Coach Hammer Brown, him in your thoughts and prayers as he shines brightly in the night sky!

A message from his daughter Taylor......This is Taylor Brown. I’m getting ready to fly to my dad’s family in LA. My dad was the most amazing man I have ever known. My dad was my hero. He held my hand when I needed to stand, it’s good to know he did the same for so many others. Hearing about all the lives he has touched during this difficult time has been a huge comfort. Knowing he won’t be forgotten for being an incredible, inspiring person as he has always been to me.   Seeing all the derby girls he helped and who cared so much for him .   Love you all TB
