Mark Bloyd

I am sorry to hear of Mark's passing. We were in De Kalb High School together. I think he played in the band. Mark was a nice classmate. My sympathy to the family.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My dearest friend, Mark,
My heart goes out to family and friends for their loss.
I met Mark in 1987 when I was employed as a binderyman with Dumont Printing. We were coworkers for 5 years and friends ever since. Mark took me under his wing and treated me with kindness and respect. We shared many laughs, cold beer, pool games and even a trip to Nevada. I will miss 'Marko' very much. You are in a better place now.
With respect and love,

I've known Mark since my early childhood in DeKalb. He & his family were always friends & good company. We made many trips together with his father, Leslie. We would go camping & sometimes I would go along for the ride to take his mother shopping. Mark's wife wanted to return to Calif in 1975 & we loaded him up for his California journey. He will be buried at the family plot at Fairview Cemetery in DeKalb. If there is anything I could do to help please contact me. 1-815-756-2985

Going to miss him calling every year to wish me a happy birthday & happy new year & sending him derby glasses every derby time, his long talks on the phone & his jokes. HE WILL BE MISSED DEARLY. My husband's uncle & his dad Leslie are brothers so we are some what related.
You will always be missed forever, you are in God's hands now, in a better place.

Never Ending Friendship
Death is a time of sorrow, that shall linger past tomorrow, we drop on our knees to pray that our loved ones will come back one day.
As I think about my friend I thought our friendship would never end, we made a pact together to be friends forever and ever although you have passed on, you are not gone.
You're in our hearts from now on, so go on to heaven above, spread your wings like a beautiful dove.
I know one day we'll be together again, our...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
