Mark was born on November 23, 1953, in Evansville, Indiana to Harry and Patricia Glover. In 1956, his family moved to Mesa, AZ, where Mark developed a lifelong love for the outdoors, hunting, fishing, sports, and adventure. He was known for his unforgettable stories, mischievous spirit, strong work ethic, and deep love for his family.

Mark married Ann Swenson, the love of his life, for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple on February 1, 1974, and built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, service, and devotion to one another. Together they shared fifty-two years of marriage, eight children, thirty-three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Mark was an entrepreneur who worked in import and export, filmmaking, photography and ultimately spent thirty-five years serving others through the tire and mechanic industry. He was known for his honesty, generosity, and quiet acts of kindness toward those in need.

A devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Mark faithfully served in many callings throughout his life, including Bishop and Stake President. He loved the people he served and sought to follow the Savior through quiet compassion, service, and sacrifice.

More than anything, Mark will be remembered for his love for his wife Ann, his devotion to his family, his adventurous spirit and his steadfast testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and eternal families.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Patricia, his brother Terry, his son Mark, granddaughter Kara, grandson Bennett and a great grandson. He is survived by his beloved wife Ann; seven of their children; Eleanor (David), Scott (Stacie), David (Kylie), Alicia (Adrian), Holly (Ray), Chris (Trista) and Ryan; thirty-three grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and countless loved ones and friends whose lives were blessed by his example.
