My heartfelt sympathy goes to all of Marks family, and his numerous friends.

To Tiffany and Nicole, you two are blessed to have had such a caring guy as a father; his love for you girls is immeasurable. Mark was married to my mom for some time and it was then that he became a father to me. He won me as a daughter in my teenage years and if one could imagine, that could have been somewhat challenging. Mark will always be loved and respected by me as the man who cared for me as his own daughter and my children, as his grandkids. I feel privileged to have had him as a part of my life. I am grateful to have stayed connected with him through the more recent years. I will always keep with me, memories of our long talks as well as several other entertaining moments that keep me laughing even now. There was never a dull moment with him around. Our thoughts and prayers go to the rest of the family. We will miss you "papa mark".

To the wholr Weatherbee Family; My deepest sympathies to you in the passing of Mark. Although it has been longer than I care to admit I still have the memories of Mark, cherish those memories and celebrate his life, not his passing.

Tiffany, Nicole, So shocked to pick the paper up today and see your Fathers name in the paper. I'm so sorry for your loss. The guest book photos is how I always remember your Dad and you kids. It's been a long time. I was always blessed to have worked for your Grandpa Marvin for almost twelve years. I always remember you girls coming by the dental office with your Mom and Dad. You girls were so special too your Grandpa. Your Grandpa was one of the most special people and influence in my life. I'm so sorry you missed out on him in your life and to lose your Father now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. You girls and your children, sure were blessed to have such a loving, caring Father and Grandfather. God Bless You!

On November 8,2010, My Sister called me and gave me the Most Unexpected,Heart-Breaking News. All I Could do was Cry, I Just Became Numb. I didnt believe it.MY DAD?? There was No Way!!! My Dad and I had our differences, as all Fathers and Daughters do. NO MATTER WHAT My Dad has Always Been there for me. He Might complain, Yell at me, but at the same time He would drop everything he was doing to be there for me!! He Loved me So much and It Took this to realize That he was a Better Dad then I gave him Credit for!! I Just always Assumed He would Always be around!! My Dad Taught me how to be a Lil Mark.. A lil Attitude, Take No Crap from anyone,How to work on Cars. Just Like I wrote in His Obituary,My Dad is Stubborn I am Just Like that. Which is why we butt Heads alot. My Dad was Honest, hardworking,Loving,Grumpy,Complained,Funny and all around a good Guy,A Great Dad and a Awesome Grandpa.I was Very Lucky to have Him for a Dad! I Will NEVER Be the Same again!I Thank God for the Great Summer My Kids and I had With Him in Ruth! I Have NO Idea How to Be without him! I am Very Proud to Be his Daughter! I MiSS YOU DAD and LOVE You!!!

Too all Marks family Im so sorry.Mark was more than a friend ,he was another brother.When i went fishing camping or hunting mark was always invited or was with me ,Tim ,or Mike.We did so much together from the outdoors to cars and motorcycles and more.Mark was very big hearted when you got to know him and was always there to help.Mark had that Mark attitude and i cant help but laugh when i think about it, i loved him and having him out with me .I m going to tell just one of the many stories of the adventures i had with Mark.On a family trip to my aunts house in ukiah where my uncle was seargent of the police force, we rode our motorcycles. Mark on his 450 which was the big honda of the day and me on my 350. We got into town later than everyone else so we missed dinner and in the process of eating downtown were challenged to a drag race.After ending up out in the orchards in the dark of night with car headlights as the finish line and about 40 kids there watching , Mark proceeded to win five races in a row as i collected every bit of money those kids had lol.Then we went back to the house smiling that we had free gas money for the whole trip.Thats just one of the many many memories i have with Mark.I was lucky enough to run into Mark a couple of times here lately and gave him a hug.Good luck jocko loved all the good times Tom

Tiffany and Nicole, I know you are going through one of the most difficult times of your life. Know how much your dad loved the two of you. You have many great memories. Keep them close to your heart and you will get through this. Remember that I am here for you and love you both very much.

I've known Mark pretty much all my life. He was the kind of person who lived life on his own terms and didn't care if you liked it or not! There's something admirable about that. His daughters, Nicole and Tiffany are like sisters to me and my heart aches so much for them. I wish they didn't have to deal with this kind of tragedy so soon in life. I love you guys and wish there was something I could do or say to make this easier for you. :(

Mark was a wonderful Dad and Grandpa and he loved them all so very much! I remember him always being there for them whenever they needed something.
He sold me my first car and was always
there whenever I needed the car to be looked at. I knew I could always count on him and I appreciated that. He was a great man!

I knew I could count on a few good laughs while I was around him as well. He was such a nut! lol I remember all the times when Nicole and I would go and pester him at Mickey's. Nicole would drive him crazy asking for something. lol They would bicker back and forth and he would say "NICOLE!" and she would say "But Dad, I just need a few dollars." and he would give in and give her the last $5 or $10 he had in his pocket. That's just the kind of Dad he was. He'd do or give them anything!

One time Mark told Nicole that I was a really good friend to her and that she was lucky to have a friend like me. I wish I would have told him that it really meant a lot to me that he thought that of me. I never forgot that. :0)

I'm still having a hard time believing he's gone. He was larger than life to me just like my Dad is but I know that he'll never be forgotten by all those who knew and loved him. He meant a lot to many people and he will forever be missed. ?

My heart goes out to all of you especially- Tiffany,Nicole,Tyler,Brittany,Mikhayla, and Devin.
What a sad day it was when I found out that Mark had passed away. I have many fond memories that go back to High School. Although I haven't seen him in years, I feel like I've kept in touch with him through you kids. Mark was definitely one of a kind with some pretty unique and funny sayings. Mark was Mark and it doesn't get any better than that. Take care of yourselves and take comfort in your memories. I love and Miss you and will see you next summer...
Love Always, Robin

Where do I start...Mark was my "Popsicles". Anytime Tiffany, Nicole or I wanted to do something, that's what got his soft spot. Although he didn't show it on the outside, on the inside he was a soft hearted guy. Growing up with Tiffany and Nicole leaves me with a lot of memories of Mark. He was definately his own person with little reason for the things he'd do. He did what made him happy. If we ever wondered where Mark was, we didn't have to think long because we knew he was in Ruth. I will always cherish the memories I have of him! ~Love You Popsicles~

I am so so sorry. I wish I could tell you it'll get easier, but I am still waiting for my own grief to pass. So all I can say is, one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. When you need to cry,cry. When you need to scream, scream. When you need to laugh, laugh.
Mark made me laugh whenever I was around. I understood and shared his sarcasm. He was a good man, now he'll make a great guardian angel. :o)
Hugs!

November 16, 2010

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember playing with Mark when my aunt & her family lived next door in Samoa. The last time I saw Mark was about 15 years ago, he was still the same sweet person I remember as a child. May the lifetime of memories you have of him comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Mark Weatherbee was a great father to Tiffany, Nicole, and Sarah. Also a great grandpa to his grandchildren. He always put them first before anyone. I may not be an actual grand daughter but Mark Weatherbee has been more of a grand father to me then my real ones. I spent half the summer with him and the rest of the family in Ruth Lake. He was always just full of fun! We shared the long days of fishing, riding the quad, and swimming to the long nights of watching scary movies in the cabin. He sure did make me have a wonderful summer with great memories that will never be forgotten. Days spent with Mark is like a day with a comedian. I was always laughing when I was around him. Gramps also got me hooked on Jerkey and Sunflower seeds! One of my favorite memories with him was the drives to Ruth. Brittany, Gramps, and I all dancing to the music on the drive up. The memories I have with you will never be forgotten! Gramps we love and miss you dearly! You will never be forgotten and will always have a spot in my heart. I love and miss you sooo much!!
