I feel so bad for not being able to attend the funeral today. I attended the wake last night to make my peace and wish my good friend off to a better, pain-free life, but I still wish that I could have attended today.

The dedication is really incredible of you guys, and I really, really wish that I could attend. As of right now, it is looking like a no-go, but I will try my hardest to make it out there for Mark.

'Til we meet again, buddy!

 

damn we look sexy!!!

 

Rayme came down with the flu and I was unable to make either service, I am terribly sorry. I called Freddie and let him know I was unable to come... I'm grateful for the times I got to meet mark and bs about website etc. He will be missed.

 

Jonathan straps Mark in for a ride at the Mardi Graw Ferrari Meet, Thanks Chris, Franco, and John for the ride.

It has been brought to my attention the sad news about the passing of Mark White.
Mark was a customer of my old tuning business in the late 90' era.
I remember him well and enjoyed talking with him. He was the type of customer that gave me satisfaction about being in the tuner business.

He drove all the way from New Orleans to Manassas, VA on more that one occasion to visit us at PFS. Very easy to deal with and interesting to talk to.

I offer my condolences to his family and friends and assure you he is well remembered by me.

Sincerely,

Peter Farrell

believe me peter he certainly remembered you too! we have talked about you and his trips there many times. in fact im sure your aware that he bought his fd from one of your employs (at the time) friends! and he also REALLY enjoyed the ride you gave him in the first fd he brought to you (which wasnt his at the time) and it caused him to buy his own! haha thanks for your kind words.

I had the privilege of meeting Mark during the One Lap. He was inspirational.

 

I was privileged to get to know Mark over the past year and a half or so. I work every other week in Houma LA where he lived and tried to make it a point to visit once each week when I was at work. We connected in many ways, and had many of the same interests (sports cars, guns, conservative politics, etc) and became good friends. Even though my FD is LS-1 powered (no "flameage", please) Mark was facinated by it, and considered it a testament to the timelessness and versatility of the FD chassis. I took him for a couple of rides in it on his favorite roads, and he was graciously complementary of it's performance and handling, even going so far as to say he thought a properly sorted out LSX powered FD could win the "One Lap of America Event".

I was even fortunate to take Mark for a short helicopter ride around Houma about a year ago along with Freddie Hebert, and they enjoyed it immensely.

I am privileged to have been his friend, and will miss him very much. Godspeed, Mark. I'll be seeing you again someday.

Rick

 

He still is.

Via con Dios, Mark

 

I just wanted to bump this thread to show that we still think about you Mark!

 

Amen.

 

how about i havent stoped thinking about you.

 

Just cleaning out some stuff and found a CD that Mark made for me of his trip to the Deals Gap event a few years back. Waduuuuuuuuup Mark !!

 

mark never went to dgrr.........i think you mean RR.

 

Actually, just popped it in again to refresh my memory. It was 5/05 Deals Gap CD that he burned for me but he was not in attendance. I think it was a CD that Phil sent him and he made a copy.

 

ok well then that makes mor sense! cool!

 

How old was Mark, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Yo Yo Wadup Marky Marks !!! Missin you my Homie !

ill always miss you my buddy,gone but never forgotten

 

I get sad every time I see this thread when browsing the forum. I met Mark at RR a couple years ago. Very nice guy. I talked to him briefly and remember admiring his Fikse wheels. Some of you may want to know, the rotor that was being sent around to be signed for Mark has been sitting on Steve Kan's desk for over a month. He couldn't even make the effort to put in in the mail for the next person to sign.

 

Ted, Jack, Jonathan, etc., we have to have a meet once that rotor gets back down here. Signatures must be given.

MARK! I miss you so much, man! I think about you all the time...

 

Rotor is on its way thanks to Rich aka GoodFellaFD3s for helping it get shipped out. I'll make sure........ EVERYONE....... has an opportunity to sign it !!

Also, thanks to Kenny there are still a few Sevens on the Shore T-Shirts that are floating around and I wanted to make sure those who weren't in on that have a chance to get one especially since it has Marky Marks name on it.

KEEPIN YOU ALIVE in our Memories HOMIE !!!

 

T-Shirts!?!?!?!?!?!

How much!?! Where? Can I get extras!?!?

W00000!!!!! I gotta rep, man! I'm wearing out my Mazdatrix/Racing Beat/Delta Region SCCA shirts, man!

 

About time. Its nice that some people care. This is where it was for over a month. Big props to Rich for stepping in and Alex (other owner of gotham and the only one who actually does work) for putting it in the mail.
