Mark A. Evnin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
Cpl. Mark Evnin, an only child, joined the Marines in 2000 after graduating from South Burlington High School. "He wanted to prove to himself that he could really meet a challenge and he told me some time after basic training he was so proud to discover he could be really good at something and he felt really good about himself," said his mother, Mindy Evnin. Evnin, whom his mother described as a scout sniper, was based at the Marine Corps base at Twentynine Palms, Calif. She said he was shot to death in Iraq. "All they know so far is that they told me he was in a firefight, and he was shot in the abdomen, and they were trying to treat him and he died," she said.

Hey brother, I still remember the last time we talked. Not to long before that firefight. I think about it everyday, wish there was a way I could have been there with you. Drinking a beer right now thinking about our good times. I'm going to get a ski house up in Vermont so I can come and visit you. Miss you brother.

”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Almost 2,000 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
This is a gift! We have wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and want you know that everyone here at Project Compassion does and will always CARE.
Contact us directly at [email protected] or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely and Respectfully,

I never had the opportunity to meet you, but I sat with you from 2AM to 6AM in the morning before you were buried, at the funeral parlor, as a member of the synagogue. Since that time via a number of venues, I have learned more about your spirit and dedication. Thank you for the ultimate sarifice you made for our country.

To the Evnin family,
Please know that just as your loved one will forever remain in your hearts and minds, his sacrifice and that of your family, will remain with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God grant you the peace that passes all understanding.

To the family and friends of Mark.
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.

May God and His Angels surround you and bring you comfort.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Mark, but he is my hero. If you would like a copy of the Angel I have posted here, please contact me and I will email that to you.

Hello:
You do not know me but I left a tribute for your family member at an earlier date. The reason for my note is to let you know of a group of people who are willing to do portraits of fallen soldiers in wood free of charge. If your family is interested you can visit their website at [email protected].
com. I became aware of this site when I tried to do something special for my son's best friend's mother (my son's best friend was KIA 7/6/07, he was 18). Some of you may have already had this done but for those who did not and would like to, please contact them they are wonderful people.

God bless you and I am so sorry for your loss. Your HERO will never be forgotten.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

I recently read a book called Shooter by Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin. In it he talks about being with Mark on one occassion. His description shows Mark's calm and professionalism during a search for an enemy sniper, which I am sure would be tense for anyone else. The author also speaks of the battle that sadly cost Mark his life.
My prayers go out to his family and a heart felt Thank You for Mark and his family's sacrifice.

(I mentioned the book for any family or friends who are unaware of Mark being in this book)
