MARK’S STORY

Mark Daniel Flores was born on October 22, 1988. He served as a behavior specialist at Tracey Elementary School and was on the path to becoming a firefighter. However, his true passion lay in music, particularly as a bass player. His musical talent was evident during his time in the jazz band at Sierra Vista High School. Mark Daniel was a person who cherished his time with family and friends, and his love for music was a significant part of his life.

On Wednesday, February 25, 2009, Mark Daniel's life was cut short in a motorcycle collision. In his memory, his family established the Mark Daniel Flores Music Foundation. Through this foundation, they support young, talented musicians on their journey with annual scholarships. Mark Daniel continues to change lives after his passing, not only with the Mark Daniel Music Foundation scholarship, but also through his ability to save and heal lives through cornea and tissue donation.
