Born on June 30, 1973, in Lewiston, Maine, Mark was the youngest of four siblings and grew up in New Auburn.

Mark is survived by his life partner, Brooke Grygiel, his daughter Meghan Picard and son-in-law Eric, his mother Diane Morin, his siblings Celeste Chapman, Andre Morin, and John Morin, as well as his nieces, nephews, and close friend Brian Roy.
