He was always there for them whenever they needed him to be. For those who had the privilege of knowing him, Mark leaves behind a legacy of hard work and unwavering loyalty to family and friends. He will always be remembered for his charming smile, unique sense of humor, and calm spirit.

Mark is survived by his son, Brian Bettencourt; two grandchildren, Brooke and Brian Porter of Pebble Beach, California; two brothers, Marlin and wife, Bobbett Bettencourt, and Norman and wife, Gloria Bettencourt; sister, Yvonne Dyrland, all of Hilmar, California, along with several nieces, nephews and friends.
