Mark A. Bibby Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
Cpl. Mark A. Bibby was an Army Reservist whose civil affairs battalion was helping to restore order in Iraq. He called his parents from Baghdad recently to talk about a fishing trip he and his dad planned for his return in October. "He kept telling me, ''Dad, I''m not in harm''s way; we''re just out there helping civilians,''" Eustace Bibby said. Bibby, 25, of Watha, N.C., was killed July 21 when a roadside bomb exploded as his convoy passed through en route to a water treatment facility. Bibby served four years of active duty in the Army, then left to go to college but stayed in the reserves. He was a sophomore transportation major at North Carolina A&T State University. Cathy Cornelius, an administrative assistant at the university, said she had talked with Bibby about his deployment to Iraq. "He said to me, `Mrs. Cornelius, don''t worry about me. I would rather go because I have the experience,''" she said.

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your son’s sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

On the upcoming 2011 Memorial Day Holiday period I just want to say that the sacrifice of CPL. Mark Bibby and the many others who have given the ultimate sacrifice...will never be forgotten. May God Bless his and all the families of lost ones...and let us at least take a moment during the holiday weekend to remember them and be thankful for the time God gave them to us...and for their example of giving their lives in the service of their country...so that others might live freely. Rest in peace Mark...from one former 422nd CA Bn Centurian to another!

”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 some wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and only want you know that we 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,
Kenna

It's been almost six years since I've seen your smiling sweet face, receive your hugs and held your hand. It seems like a few days ago...I miss you, Markie. They said that it would get easier but it really doesn't. I see you in my dreams and remember your gentleness and caring spirit. You were always so positive, so pleasant, so encouraging to others. You will always be loved and remembered, my dear sweet Son.

Dear Bibby,

I'm sorry I didn't keep in contact after basic training. We were so tight. You were my best friend (my big brother from another mother lol) there. You kept me motivated and laughing throughout those hard times.

I have been so torn since I found out you were gone (in the flesh). You will never be forgotten. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you... Thanks for the dreams that reassures me of your presence. And even though the tears flow uncontrollably....

To the family of Mark, I had the opportunity to share happy and lifelong memories with Bibby. He was a great friend.

In Memory of Mark ~ (Debra Estep)

July 21, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


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 I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Cpl Bibby. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Cpl Bibby knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience, and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Cpl Bibby!

To the family of an American Hero. I am truly greatful for the sacrifices that are being made each day. As my family has lost a loved one also and know the pain and void in your life.
