An Eagle Has Flown: A Tribute to Mark Zook and Those Who Serve

Our long-time KASH Eagles referee and referee scheduler, Mark Zook, passed away this week. He went into the hospital with abdominal issues, and passed away the next day. It was a shock.

I’ll remember Mark when I’m with the kids at practice. I’ll remember him when we are playing games at the historic basketball gym where we play, and he loved. I'll use his example when times are tough and I need to persevere, and during those same tough times to be thankful for the opportunity to serve all the children in our program doing something I love.

An Eagle has flown, to a place where there is no pain, where there is no sorrow. Farewell Mark, and until we meet again my friend. You were loved.
