The family moved closer to the village of Livonia and began attending church at the United Church of Livonia (now named the United Methodist Church of Livonia).

Mark was born in Osaka, Japan to Megumi (Nakajima) and Lee Knapp. At age three, the Knapp family relocated to Rutherford, NJ, where Mark attended preschool. After the addition of Mark’s sister Melodee, the family settled in Wayland, NY. Here, the family became dedicated members of the Springwater Church of the Nazarene. New York is where the Knapp’s put down roots, where Mark started kindergarten, learned piano from his mom, landed a choice paper route and made the first of many, life-long friends.

In school, Mark was a New York State Scholar-Athlete, playing varsity tennis for Wayland Cohocton Central and finishing second in the Livingston County Class 13 Doubles Tournament. Mark excelled in academics, participating in National Honor Society, high school Brain Stormers and was voted Most Studious by the graduating class of 1998. Mark had an appreciation for classical music, starting with piano in childhood and progressing to flute in high school. He loved instrumental music, especially Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and the works of Vivaldi.

Mark attended college at the Rochester Institute of Technology and was an active member of the Sigma Pi fraternity. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology from the College of Applied Science and Technology. Greek life brought Mark countless experiences, friendships and professional relationships. One night, at a birthday party for one of these friends, Mark met the great love of his life, Jeanine.

With their marriage came deep love, travel and adventure. Professional opportunities through Mark’s employer, RoviSys Building Technologies, brought various moves across the US. The couple settled in Cary, NC, before a work assignment sent them to the Netherlands, kicking off a period of exploration across Europe. Together, Mark and Jeanine traveled to more than 20 countries. They zip lined through the jungles of Costa Rica, perfected rich bolognese in Italy, explored ancient ruins and shimmering Mediterranean beaches in Greece, cracked into black-shelled eggs simmered in Japanese hot springs and basked in the bright white silence at the peak of the Austrian Alps.

Mark lived his life with gusto. He embraced the people and experiences in his life path. For him, food was an adventure. Mark was never one to turn down the offer of a free hot dog, turkey leg, or perhaps other – questionable – mystery street fare. He relished long meals with family and friends. Mark’s Japanese heritage instilled a deep love of Asian cuisine and culture. This hunger for life meshed perfectly with Jeanine and the rest of the Cisco family. Together, they became “boat level” sushi enthusiasts, with Mark guiding the way through every succulent hunk of sashimi.

Mark was fluent in Japanese and returned to Japan many times to visit family and immerse himself in the beauty and thoughtfulness of Japanese culture. This influence was in his very essence and character.

Mark was the epitome of joy, laughter and love. He was devoted to Jeanine, their families and friends. He was beloved by those who knew him and an example to all of a life well-lived.

Mark is survived by his beloved wife of 14 years, Jeanine (Cisco) Knapp, parents Lee and Megumi (Nakajima) Knapp of Crossville, TN; sister Melodee Knapp of Chicago, IL; father and mother-in-law Butch and Katherine Cisco of Conesus, NY; brother-in-law James (Durinda) Cisco; and sister-in-law Karalee (Dave) Kircher. In addition, Mark is survived by nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
