You guys in the West section know more than anybody that Mr. Mark was a true asset to this community. He's one of the finer human beings I've met on this Earth. It's an absolute shame to see him gone, but it's nice to see people come out of the woodwork to give their condolences.

Even though I've laughed about his 'irrational' hatred of the FD , he always had people's best interests at heart. I'm still shocked and more than anything, saddened for his family. I can honestly say he is irreplaceable to this community, especially you FC drivers! Fair winds and calms seas Mark!

So everyone knows, there is a stickie thread for Mark in this regard in the Lounge.

https://www.rx7club.com/lounge-192/r-i-p-icemark-830891/


As a show of united support, it was suggested we all change our Avitar to Marks, which I and a number of others have already done. I recommend any and all that also feel Mark's loss do the same.



Note to Brian, et. al., here is the funeral information posted by Jaime earlier. I'll indeed be sending flowers:
The funeral services will be held at 6:30PM on Sat, April 11th at the Charles Schultz museum in Santa Rosa, CA.

2301 Hardies Lane, Santa Rosa, California 95403


By the way, per Mark's Profile, he was Born April 13, 1963

He was only 45 years old. Mark has reminded us how little time we have on this earth. Take a moment and give each of your loved ones a hug tonight. You just don't know when you'll get the chance to do it again.

Mark was just one of those guys from you club you'd want to meet. I have unfortunately have not met him but he has helped me with my car via the forum and its sad to hear he has passed. He really was irreplaceable asset to this community and my heart and I am sure the hearts of many of you on this forum go out to him and his family.

I don't know what to say except goodbye to one of the coolest guys on this forum.

When I bought my 1st RX-7 and signed up here, more than anyone else, he was the one old school guy from the Bay Area who took time to answer my noobie questions and make me feel welcome here.

Thanks for the advice, Mark! You'll be missed.

I can't believe he died so young. He sure was a huge help in the FC Technical forum.

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
