Wow. I got to meet him during the SSXI caravan and last year's Rotorfest. My sympathies go out to his family.

i just saw this today after coming back to the forum from last week and zerox7 just informed me...this is very sad seeing another fellow rotary member, my condolences go out to the family! my prayers godspeed mark!

:( Tragic loss. RIP Mark.

mark was a great guy and a great fellow rx7 owner amoung many other things, when ever i saw mark he always had a smile on his face and iam sure he wants the same for us. Rip mark.

I wish I could make it to the service. But I guess all I can do is wish his family the best.

I just found this and can't believe it! I met him at rotaryfest when you guys had it in Santa Rosa... Very nice guy, he actually let me sit in his RX-8 after knowing him for 15 mins! Truely a loss...

RIP Mark...

I met Mark at Rotorfest over the summer. He was a hella cool to me. My sympathies to his family. Did he have any kids?

i'm truely shocked and saddened. my prayers go out to his family and i can only hope to wish them the best. if there's anything we as a rotary community can do i hope we can be of assistance.

and as for him passing in his sleep and some folks wondering how its possible, well, sometimes peole do go into cardiac arrest in their sleep. perhaps he had a pre-existing medical condition that he kept private. either way, he was young and as someone stated earlier, it puts life into perspective because we really don know how much time we have here.

may you rest in peace Mark. you will be missed

!!!! I'm speechless...... I honestly don't know what to say!?!
His family will be in my prayers. Although I've never met him, his knowledge and witty comments will be missed on this forum.

RIP Mark

Greg

RIP Mark, I'll miss you

You were a huge help to me when I first came on board....thank you for that.

I still dont know what to say. I found out before most and i was in complete shock. still kinda am honestly. that is the last thing i thought nader was going to tell me last thursday. mark was a good friend and a good person all around. extremely genuine. plus without mark how could i have gotten such an awesome post count? lol

i will be heading up either fri or early sat for the services I do not know which yet.

RIP mark

my condolences to mark and his family. i saw him at SS, but didn't meet him personally, only cuz nader was spending too much time with him. =P

wow im speechless... a huge loss for our community... my prayers go out for him and his family

Wow. Don't know what to say didn't really know him but saw all his posts. My prayers go out to his family and friends. 45 is way too young.

Way too young indeed... My condolences to his friends and family.

WackyRacer woke me up @ 9:30am to inform me of the LOST.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE AND CONDOLENCSE TO HIS FAMILY

...I have read a lot of his knowledgeable threads and was very useful...

...this dude was very smart...

RIP Mark. Thanks for rebuilding the Wiper Switch in my Vert!




I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

wow sad to hear about another forum member...... atleast he died in his sleep. R.I.P.

not sure if it's mentioned in the thread, but are memorial t-shirts gonna be made so the proceeds go to the family?

^ +1 that would be a great idea

Yes...they will most likely be made in time for RotaryFest. It's gonna take some time to get together...but we will make it happen.

oh my god...dude, i've meet this guy more then once..this sucks! he was a great person. mark, we will never forget your grace. Rest In Peace, and i hope that you continue to shine down on us from up above. i cant believe it...

:AA:

Just heard about this thru my brother. Its sad to lose another valuable member here thats been around for ages helping lots of people over the years. My condolences go out to all his family. I wish I were closer to the services but I doubt I can make it.

May he fix our fellow passed rotorhead's logicons and wiper switches up in heaven. RIP Mark.

I had the honor of knowing Mark personally and even though I found out last week, I am still in shock. He truely was one of the best people I've had the pleasure of knowing. The only good I can find in this situation is that he went peacefully. He is one of the reasons I am even into RX7's. I don't think I can remember a time when he wasn't smiling. Anyway, I'm rambling. My place is open for people to crash here in SR. Nader (Funkspectrum) already knows. He is coordinating everything. Contact him, and if you can't get in touch with him, you can PM me.

RIP Mark. You will be greatly missed!

Wow... It was just only last year when I met Mark in person at Rotaryfest. He was a very smart guy who knew a lot of rotary lol.
Prayers to his family and friends
may he
Rest In Peace
