I remember meeting Mark in California, I remember his dreams of being a Pilot, Aircraft Mechanic and his first love Racing Motorcycles. He was a great man and loved his family.

Mark was one of my first very special patients. I loved our little chats about normal life.. Like our mutual enthusiasm for airplanes. I was always saddened and excited at the same time whenever he came in to the infusion clinic. He wasn't your usual patient. Mark just said it like it was. One of my favorite traits of his! I hated that he had to keep coming back, but loved how he brightened the room! Then when he saw me in the clinic and saw that I, too, had been stricken with cancer, he looked so sad, and told me so. Here he was knowing his time was coming to an end and he was concerned about me, his nurse. That was just Mark. Mark, I know your up there looking down on me and I hope you are smiling a little cause I'm gonna be fine. I'm smiling a little because your not suffering anymore. Fly, Mark, fly! There's nowhere you can't go anymore and even the FAA can't stop you now! With love and heartfelt sympathy to family and friends,

I am only sorry that our family was not there for the service. There are so many of us here in Southern California. I know the family is so very sad without Mark, but I am happy he is in no pain. Also, Sophia's observation about God looking after her Uncle Mark touched me, but I believe Mark is teaching others how to enjoy their time up there. He knew how to do so many things and I know he enjoyed them all. He moved away so long ago that my memories of him are mostly as a sweet son and brother and cousin. I see him with Rhonda at their First Communion and that is the image I have. My thoughts are with his wife and children and with his loving sisters.

Jeanne,I am thinking of all of you everyday. I know how you are hurting, and wish for your heart to be comforted, it is such a hard time. I love you and the kids. Mark was so special, to know him was to just love him and he loved his friends . He had high energy ,enthusiasum and was a kind person. He fought that hard with everything in him, to stay with you and the kids only thinking of all of you to be here for you, you two meant everything to each other. How wonderfull you both had that kind of love that took care of each other. He had such a good wife and knew it. He was a self made man i am very proud of . He met you when he was young so you alone know the self made man he was. in Heaven where the rest of his family was in such Joy to see him come, he is out of pain and knows he will see you again this is our hope on either side Heaven and earth and our promise from Jesus. May God comfort you, and be what He says he will be to the widow," Her husband and a father." your such a strong lady and he loved you so much and his children Ryan, Breanna and Aubrey. I Hope you are doing alright God bless you and keep you. Joni Colby (Marks sister)

Jeanie, In this time of your sorrow and i know how your heart is hurting i want you to know i am thinking about you and the kids. Why things go the way they do i wish i knew, someday we will. I think of Mark when he was 2 years old making his airplane sounds, with his eyes open real wide, and his fasination with airplanes at such an early age living near an airport. He was the cutest thing and so smart,Ryan looks so much like his dad, I think how the day came he sat in the cock pit of a plane of his own.How he loved planes. Mark's life was a nice life with many friends he loved and a very good influence on so many. He was a self made man as you sure know, since you met when he was so young. You were who he lived for, you and your kids, whom whom he adored Ryan, Breanna and Aubrey and he knew you were the sweetest wife a man could hope to have he loved his family so much. He fought for his life with everything in him just to be there for you. It was a valient fight and God knows and loves him dearly. His energy lives on as he lives on. Yours was a love story you made a complete life with him Jeanie, your children. To know him was to just love him he was such a great brother. He is in Heaven where the rest of his family welcomed him to his new home that i read in the Bible looks like Washington, and he is well and free, awaiting his reunion with you. let God be your comfort and bless you and be your husband as He says he will be to the widow and a father. I love you, Joni Colby (Marks sister)

Jeanie, I know you had such great plans for your life together after retirement. I was heartbroken when I learned that Mark had left us too soon. To say that he will be sorely missed is the greatest understatement.
During my last visit he wanted to chat about your life together (trip to Cali and racing his bike) and was still our much loved Mark despite the disease that took him. Thank you for loving him and taking such good care of him all these years.
I met him when he was just 16 and we had many "fun teenage years together" as Mark would remind me. He was new to Washington and thought we were kinda backward...he told me so. Makes me laugh just to think of it. Seems like he was always "fixing" something that was broken, ie., cars, bikes, mowers, etc.
I was there when you pledged your vows...somehow the "til death do us part" words are that much more powerful. Be strong Jeanie, we're here for you. Aubrey, Ryan and Brianna, you're Dad was, and is, someone I loved very much. He lives on in each one of us who had the good fortune to know him. Quick with a smile and just a little bit shy, Mark impacted my life. God Bless you and Keep you all.
Mark and Jeannie (sister) Best Brother Ever

It was so heartwarming to see how many people attended Mark's service. There had to be over 200 people. Todd and his family did such a great job on slide show and many people spoke and told funny stories and memories of the best brother anybody ever had

I met Mark at Northwest Medical Specialties we were diagnosed with cancer a month apart. In the year and a half I knew Mark we would confide in each other about our cancer and everyday life. Mark and I became very good friends during that year and half. It's something I will never forget. Mark was a true fighter and I admired him for that. My condolences and prayers go out to the Ennis family: Jean, Breeana, Aubrey and Ryan. God bless Mark you are in heaven with the Lord now.

I have know Mark for over 35 years and he was a fighter the first day I met him. He became an incredible airplane and motorcycle mechanic and would always help me with my repairs or offer advise. He married a wonderful woman and had 3 fantastic kids and was the best husband and father that anyone could ask for. Unfortunately God wanted him on his race team and recruited him at a far too young age, but has left us with his strength and courage that no matter what cards you are dealt, enjoy your family, friends and your life to the fullest and thats exactly what Mark did.The last couple of years where probably the toughest years Mark had ever faced, but he still kept his chin up, didn't complain and continued to live his life the way he wanted . I have great respect for Mark Ennis and always trusted him especially when flying across the west coast in his little plane (even without a parachute) that was alittle joke I had asked him the first time I went for a flight in that 1940's airplane and he never let me forget it. I said, when you go for a boat ride they give you a life vest, why shouldn't I get a parachute when flying in his plane. His response was, by the time you got the door open, past the wing strut, we would be on the ground. Mark was always to the point like that and that's what made him so trusting.
We are going to miss him deary, but Mark wouldn't want us to mourn for long, only to remember what is really important in life and that is Family and Friends. God Bless you little buddy and the entire Ennis Family. Nickolas and Family
