Mark Bronson was an amazing man, I didn’t know him for very long, but he left an amazing impression on my life, and heart. He was always looking out for the good of everyone around him. He took the lead in getting our safety team implemented at our church and did it
with a smile and a kind word. He will be missed. I am glad I got the chance to get to know him, even if it was for a short time.

Hard to think that Mark has been gone over a year now. Just seems like yesterday I was talking to him at the FOP Lodge in Kalamazoo. I always enjoyed working with Mark. He was a good cop and a dedicated employee and a credit to the police profession. I still miss his laugh and the corny jokes we used to tell each other. I know Mark was in pain most last part of life. Mark in now free of all the pain. I know that the lord has him helping St Peter at the Pearly Grates of Heaven. Hey Mark when I get there put a good word in for me! Rest in peace my friend.

Hard to think that Mark has been gone over a year now. Just seems like yesterday I was talking to him at the FOP Lodge in Kalamazoo. I always enjoyed working with Mark. He was a good cop and a dedicated employee and a credit to the police profession. I still miss his laugh and the corny jokes we used to tell each other. I know Mark was in pain most last part of life. Mark in now free of all the pain. I know that the lord has him helping St Peter at the Pearly Grates of Heaven. Hey Mark when I get there put a good word in for me! Rest in peace my friend.
