Mark Ardell Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 1 to Oct. 2, 2008.
MARK TERRENCE ARDELL It is with profound sorrow that the family announces the sudden passing of their beloved son and brother, Mark Terrence Ardell, of Vanscoy, Saskatchewan on Friday, September 26th, 2008. Mark was born on February 25th, 1992 to Terry and Joanne Ardell. He attended Vanscoy Elementary School and was presently attending Delisle Composite High School where he was in Grade 11. Mark excelled in school always achieving first class honors and was the Vice President of his high school SRC. Mark excelled not only in school but in all of life. He loved school sports, participating in football and badminton, and played hockey on the community team. He was an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing, summer and winter camping, canoeing, kayaking, skiing downhill and water, dirt biking and snowmobiling. He loved to go on road trips with his brothers and cousin Andrew to the mountains, various locations throughout Western Canada and far flung destinations up North fishing or hunting. He also loved going on family vacations to a variety of locations including Fernie, Maui and the family cabin at Christopher Lake. Mark had the most amazing smile and optimistic spirit. Whenever he was with a group, Mark's influence made a positive difference. He was an enthusiastic team player and an inspirational leader. Mark was mature beyond his years, thoughtful and methodical, seeking counsel in decisions made. Mark was known for his servant heart always looking for ways to help and encourage others. His parents instilled in him a high standard of moral values exemplified by honesty, forthrightness and empathy. Mark had a deep faith in God which played a prominent role in the direction and purpose of his life. Mark was dedicated and passionate about working on the family farm which provided a venue for fun, fellowship and hard work. From seeding to harvest to seed cleaning operations, Mark always rose to the challenge of learning a new skill. He loved the camaraderie of working with his brothers and cousin Andrew. Mark was always in step with his older brothers who had a profound influence on the shaping of his character. Mark is survived by his parents, Terry and Joanne; his brothers, Michael and James; his grandparents, Roy and Margaret Ardell and Marvin and Eleanor Goosen; his aunts and uncles and 23 cousins. Mark leaves a legacy of faith and inspiration to all who knew him. He will be forever loved and missed. A Service of Love and Remembrance for Brad and Mark will be held on Friday, October 3rd at 2:00 p.m. at Forest Grove Community Church (502 Webster Street). Condolences, on behalf of the boys, may be emailed through remembering.ca. Arrangements in care of John Schachtel MOURNING GLORY FUNERAL SERVICES (978-5200). "If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. "

Ardell Family:
We have never personally met, but our son, Shane played football with Mark in Mark's junior year. Shane went to school with him as well and knew him as great kid.
Our deepest sympathy goes to your family at this very trying time. It sounds like Brad was an inspiration to all that he knew, and I feel very unfortunate that I never had the chance to meet your sons. I cannot imagine your pain at this time, but know that others are praying and thinking of you all in this time of sorrow.

The loss is enormous, not just for you, but for all of humanity. Your love created these wonderlul people and who they became. Your job is not yet complete. The Lord will guide you.

Dear Ardell Family, I met Mark at Camp Kadesh this year, and although it was for a short time, I had become good friends with Mark. His electric personality drew me in, and I am forever grateful to have met him. I want to thank you for the amazing gift of having known your son, and I am filled with sorrow with such a tragedy. My sincere condolences,

Of course it is impossible to know what to say at a time like this. So I will take Paul's advice ... to encourage each other with these words:

My friends, we want you to understand how it will be for those followers who have already died. Then you won't grieve over them and be like people who don't have any hope. We believe that Jesus died and was raised to life. We also believe that when God brings Jesus back again, he will bring with him all who had faith in Jesus before they died. Our Lord Jesus told us that when he comes, we won't go up to meet him ahead of his followers who have already died. With a loud command and with the shout of the chief angel and a blast of God's trumpet, the Lord will return from heaven. Then those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life. Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky. From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever. Encourage each other with these words.
(1Th 4:13-18 CEV)
