Mark was born to Ken & Amanda Henry on May 25, 1992, in Columbia, SC. He graduated from Blythewood High School in 2010 and attended Pfeiffer University. He was a member of the Varsity Tennis team both in High School and College.

Mark had a warm, gentle and loving spirit that endeared him to others, and he was a joy to those he came in contact with. He was a big kid at heart. He was always willing to share what he had with others in need.

Mark greatly enjoyed playing pickleball and tennis with his friends. Mark loved his family and was very proud of his sister. His newfound relationships in Texas meant so much to him, as he was part of a Brotherhood that encouraged and uplifted each other to better themselves.
