I met Mark in 2009 when I was a guest on the Rick and Bubba Show. Rick and Bubba made a big deal out of the fact I was NOT the Mark Whitlock. They called me “The Other Mark Whitlock”.

From what Rick and Bubba told me and what I saw first hand, Mark was a man of God who loved his family, the outdoors, and served his customers well.

You can find his obituary here.


The family will receive friends one hour prior to the 2 p.m. memorial service Friday, May 18, 2012 at the Church at Brook Hills. Dr. Charles Carter will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
