When I started working at the Bankruptcy Court in 1992, I met Mark. He was always so friendly. He gave me a recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies that I still use today and always think of Mark when I make them. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. - Sincerely, Melanie Berg - St.Louis, Mo

Mark will be missed by many. We had some really good talks & laughs. Really going to miss him. He touched so many lives. My family will keep you all in our prayers. - Eric & Angie Hall

I met Mark as he worked at the same gym that he eventually owned. He was so fun and was always brutally honest which is a trait I loved about him. I usually came in to work out late in the evening but saw him often and many times on Saturday with he and Suzie Lovecamp. We had may discussions and I respected his opinions even if we didn't totally agree. After moving to Florida I got to share with him on FB and did often. I loved his QOTD(quotes of the day) which were very powerful and full of meaning. I will miss him tremendously and know that keeping Matrix open will keep his memory alive in all our hearts. Every workout I have from now on will be dedicated to his memory. RIP my friend. I love you - Gloria Smith

To the family of Mark Szabo, I grew up with Mark and went to high school with him. I admired him greatly; I loved his sense of humor, his attention to detail, his generosity , and his intelligence. He will be sorely missed by me and my family. I really want you to know how much I liked Mark and what a wonderful person I think he was. Sincerely, - Gay Wilhour and family

I am so sad at Mark's passing. He was a dear friend, honest, generous, and caring for those he loved. I will miss dearly. All of you have my sympathy & prayers. The world has lost a kind soul. - Toni Winchester
