Mark Axelson

You were the Jacques to my Duchess.... I keep hoping I'll wake up and this will all be a bad dream. How can you be gone? You had so much more to give, so much more to do, so much more to see. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance, but most of all.... thank you for your friendship. I'll miss you....

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Mark's family and friends in this most difficult time. I got to meet Mark through his friendship with my son during their college days at Roger Williams.

I don't know anyone who met Mark and didn't walk away better for it. He was kind, funny and smart. He was a great acting partner, a great friend and teacher. He was one of my favorite people I ever met in college and I'm so happy I got to see him a few years ago at a Roger Williams reunion. Hard to believe he's gone. My deepest condolences to his family.

You were a unique soul and it was an honor and a pleasure to be your friend. You made me feel appreciated and valued - a gift that was much needed at the time. Wishing your loved ones peace and comfort. You were truly, deeply and deservedly loved.

You graciously gave me and my parents our first tour of the place I would call home for 5 years, The Roger Williams Performing Arts Center. I remember your warm smile and enthusiasm. You will be greatly missed my friend.

I am so heartbroken about Mark's passing, but I am forever grateful for the friendship we forged back in our college days. His influence on my life was huge...I don't know if he knew. Sending you prayers and so much love.

I'm truly saddened by your loss. May God keep you strong. Love, Debbie Soter Harrington

Mark, I always enjoyed our conversations about the Red Sox. Rest well cousin.
