Mark was born July 21, 1953 in Graham, Texas to Wanda Gae (Moore) and Coy Alex Noles. Mark made his living as a carpenter, house builder and all-around fix-it man who was known by many, but his heart belonged to Jesus and telling others about Him. He was very involved at Church of the Living God, where he was a longtime member, and he looked forward to going on mission trips with his friend and pastor, Jack Skidmore. In his spare time, he liked to hunt and fish and spend time with family.
