Mark Hortman was a selfless husband and a dedicated father. He always put his family above himself and everyone who knew him knew that he was Melissa’s rock.
He was a great friend to Gwen and me, and we will miss him deeply.

“She was wearing sneakers and a suit, and it was like, ‘Oh my God.” I said, ‘You’re, you’re my kind of lady.”
A beautiful tribute to Melissa Hortman from Tribal leaders.

We know about slain former Mn House Speaker, Melissa Hortman, but not a lot about her husband Mark who died alongside her. He loved fine whiskey, music and his family and was a pretty darned good pool player.
