Please, everyone, take a moment to remember him and what he has done here on the club. He was an important part of our community here and was always there to help all of us.

The funeral services will be held at 6:30PM on Sat, April 11th at the Charles Schultz museum in Santa Rosa, CA.

Any and all are welcome. His wife Devin would really appreciate if as many of you guys can make it out.

I will do my best to put anyone up that decides to come out for the service. There are 3 open homes including my own for those that make the trip.


Rest in Peace, Mark. You will be missed.


If anyone has any questions, please feel free to call me @ (707)304-0421

My prayers go out to his family.
Mark had taken over for Zach setting up rotary fest a year or two ago, we've definitely lost a member who contributed a lot to this community.

Driving directions to Arcata, CA

I don't know if I can afford to fill the tank that much, the fc would cost like 100 dollars to make that trip q_q, atleast if I'm doing the math right.

I've had just about enough of really good people leaving this earth unfairly and unexpectedly. The few times I was around Mark were a pleasure and it saddens me to hear of his passing. Prayers go out to his family. Rest in Peace Mark.

I echo this sentiment. I've met Mark several times at various 7Stock meets, and found him to be not only a really nice guy but very very genuine. I don't know how old he was, but by physical appearance he had to be no more than somewhere in his 40's. So this passing is for sure before his time.

I've also corresponded with him on so many fronts regarding so many projects as he was someone whose advice you could take to the bank without question. And as a vendor, he more than stood behind any part or service he provided. I had a ballast go out on the HID kit I bought from him. I PM'd him where I could get a replacement and he responded by sending me on at absolutely no charge and at his expense.

In my opinion, Marks value to the RX7 community at least at the grass roots level was right up there with Jim Mederer at Racing Beat, Dave Lemon at Mazdatrix, and Nick Van Nugteren at RR&R. Mark was in the most elite of RX7 leagues.

As a man, there are few people that qualify by the description of being genuine. In my experience, Mark was one of those few.

This clearly was a sudden thing. If you do a quick search, you'll see his last post on the forum was around 9:45PM on April 1st. According to comments, he died in his sleep on April 2nd. So he had to have passed within hours of that last post.

Much as I'd like to, I can't attend his funeral. However, I will be sending flowers to the address given. I suggest anyone else who can't attend consider doing the same.

RIP Mark. You will be missed. My heart felt condolences go out to his family.
