We were so shocked when Shelden told us about Mark's passing. He and Jodi both shared in some great high school memories with our daughter and we all mourn the passing of one who left this life too soon. May you be blessed with the strength and beautiful memories to endure this tragic part of your lives.

Dear Janet and Family,
Sorry to hear of the passing of your son Mark. I'm just sorry that I never had the opportunity to meet him, but I'm sure if you raised him he would be a kind loving person just as I remember you being. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as you cope with your loss.

Dear Mark's family,
I was Mark's teacher in Grade 7 and 8 at Brownell School in Saskatoon. Jodi, his wife was also in my class. What a precious couple even then. I remember Mark as a good hearted person who had a wonderful gentleness and compassion towards others. His warm smile and joyous disposition made a memorable impression on me. I followed his, Jodi's and Mark's sister Cara (whom I also taught) progress through the years via their step dad and my colleague Ken Holmes.
I am in Washington DC right now visiting my daughter. I wish that I could have attended his funeral service and conveyed personally to each one of you my deep sadness over his death but also what an honor it is to have known such a wonderful man.
You are all in my prayers.
With love and deepest sympathies

Mark's death was a sudden shock to many. It has been felt across the globe by family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. My greatest sympathies go out to all who have suffered this loss. Mark exuded great respect in his work as a referee, and made himself a role model in the community. His silent confidence, gentle nature, and comforting smile made him very easy to love and respect. He is missed, even by those who didn't get the privilege of knowing him well. I say this with a heavy heart, but wish all the very best to Mark's family and friends. You knew a very good man, hold him close in your memory.

I overlapped with Mark for only a short while at the UofS, but i've never forgotten him as a kind, down-to-earth, respectful and amiable guy. Reading this guest book, there is no doubt that he ha left a tremendous mark on his closest friends and family, but i am evidence that his great attitude has also benefitted the many who have only briefly crossed paths with Mark. I'm glad to have known him and send my sympathies to his family and closest friends.

Jodi and Family... we are so sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. It is so sad to hear of the senseless tragedy that took the life of such a vibrant young man. Mark was well respected and cherished by all who knew him, his family, his friends, his colleagues and the soccer community. Mark gave all his energy to all aspects of his life. He was committed to his family, his work and was striving to make soccer better in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan by his volunteer work, being a player and a referee. We will miss Mark as a truly fine, humble, honorable, caring and devout human being. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and we hope all of Mark's cherished memories will comfort you.

I fondly remember Mark for his upstanding character on and off the pitch. He was humble, respectful, thoughtful, and often seemed mature beyond his years. Mark was willing to contribute without reservation for the team and in difficult game situations he often discovered something positive to share with friends.
Mark had a good and kind soul and I can visualize him waving 'across the pitch' and smiling up into the bleachers the very last time I saw him referee. It is difficult not to smile to his memory.
Sincere condolences from our family to Mark’s family and to his many friends.

I had emailed you in care of the funeral home but not sure whether you'll get it. I just wanted to express my sincere sympathy to you on the death of your son. I can't imagine the heartbreak you and your family are going through. Though we only got to know each other a bit during our "Fiddler" experience I wanted you to know that I am praying that God would give you strength and peace during this trying time.

Janet:
Words cannot express how sad I feel for you with the loss of your son. We know death is part of the life cycle, however, coming at such a young age seems so unfair.. having recently experienced our own loss with our grandson, I truly sympathize with the ache in your heart.
May the support, prayers, and encouragement from family and friends help ease your pain.

Dear Janet,
We were so sad to hear, through the University Chorus, of the tragic loss of your young son. Many summers ago, we lost my teenage brother in an accident, so we understand the terrible pain and grief you and your family must be going through. We pray that you will find peace and comfort as you hold each other close. You are in our thoughts and prayers today.

I am sorry to hear of your loss - it definately came as a shock to hear the news.
I knew Mark through highschool and soccer; it was always a treat to play on the same team as Mark, also when Mark refereed any of my adult games. I can even recall, one of my fondest highschool soccer memories was riding to a game with Mark.. We used a German dictionary to make up some "new" and "creative" terms. Good times.
He was a good guy and he will be missed.
