I am extending my heartfelt sympathy to the family. Mark was a dedicated co-worker in the Clarke County School District Transportation Department for several years. He had a good sense of humor and in remembering some of our conversations, he kept us laughing and uplifted. The picture displayed is how I will fondly remember him. One of his frequent expressions was: " Well, I do declare." Mrs. Rosetta L. Strong

To the Family I'm so sorry for Y'all's loss.. I worked worked with Mr Yancey at the CCSD for 10 yrs doing Custodial Work. And WE WORKED! Hard too 😂 but we also had a lot laughs, we talked about a lot things at work and fun but got our work done. It was a pleasure knowing Mark Yancey, he will missed.
