Mark was passionate about his craft, and he used his exceptional talent to mentor many others in his field.

Mark is survived by his daughters, Victoria Kiefer, Jessica Steele, and Danielle Steele; his sisters, Cheryl Van Ardsdale, Marjorie Kiefer Confenti, and Renee Savage; his brothers-in-law, Marty Van Ardsdale and Michael Confenti; his niece, Nichole Caruso, his nephews, Carl, Justin, and Kevin Van Ardsdale, and Brian and Jason Savage; several great-nieces and nephews; and countless friends. He is preceded in death by his father Carlson Kiefer, and his mother Marjorie Rein.
