Mark earned the level of Eagle Scout in 1989 while living in Duluth, Georgia. Mark always enjoyed an adventure.

Mark was a charitable person, giving both his time and finances to others. Throughout his life he was always an interesting person to both talk and spend time with. He has been on mission trips and has served as a board member of Elijah Challenge, a Christian based organization focusing on missions to India. He attended the Sweetwater Church in Sugarland, Texas.

He has always enjoyed fishing, traveling, and helping people. He was almost unbeatable in Monopoly! Most of all he enjoyed fast cars such as Corvettes, Porsches, and Lamborghinis. It must have been prophetic for one of his grandfathers gave him a miniature, three inch long, sports car when Mark was about eight years old.

Mark is survived by: his daughter, Juliana Upchurch; Kori Upchurch mother of his daughter; Jim Upchurch his brother, Tina Upchurch his sister-in-law, and James B. Upchurch his nephew; and his father, James Upchurch.
