Mark Bronson

Hello, I'm Mark's daughter, and I'm attending his old school, UCSB, right now. It's my last year, and I've been searching for a bench that's rumored to be dedicated to him. I haven't been able to find it or any information about it, and I would love to see it before I graduate. If any of his frat brothers or friends see this and have any information, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you! I also really enjoyed reading about everyone's memories and stories :)

My heartfelt sympathies go out to Mark's family, his parents, brother, wife and children. I was stunned when I learned of his passing away. I have such fond memories of Mark from High School and beyond. I've relived them all in my mind over the past few months while trying to comprehend that he is no longer with us. I'm so proud of him on learning of his professional accomplishments, but of course not surprised at the breadth and depth of his achievements. Mark will live on in the lives...

Mark, my friend. I have missed you for so long and like everyone else I think of you often through the years and hear your cute laughter and see that silly smile! You were always happy. Mark and I, along with so many others who have signed this book, grew up and went to school together in Chico. He was a true fiend to me. I just learned of this tragedy and am without words and have tears in my eyes. I will never forget you, Mark. Our whole class will never forget you. God speed and fill the...

He was a joy to all of us and he always had an easy way with people. He and Karen adored each other. Their family has a very child-like aura and he was more like a big brother to Jack & Mari. They all lit up around Mark. His celebration of life here in Tokyo was a such bittersweet event. It was so moving to hear the many stories on how he connected to so many people both professionally and personally. Not a single dry eye in the room! It was also a gathering of friends seeking comfort from...

I met Mark in 1992 when I joined A Community of Friends. Mark was the founding board president of the organization, whose mission is to develop housing for people with mental illness. He was so generous with his time and even though he had a demanding job, he was always available to talk about any concern or issue and offer sage advice. He was brilliant yet could put people to ease with his gentle manner. I have not seen Mark in several years, but I will never forget his smile and laugh. ...

Our whole family is missing Mark and his smile. He adored his children and my sister and they just simply adored him right back.

My sympathies go out to Karen, Mariko and Jack; Ed and Marion and Jeremy and his family. I have know Mark since the 5th grade in Open Classroom at Rosedale School in Chico. After that every couple of years we would run into each other in unexpected places. UCSB (and some harrowing rides in storms from Chico back to SB); In LA in the early 90's at a play; and again in Tokyo when I was living in Kyushu and up for a weekend to "the big city". Mark was always kind and humble and generous of...

I first met Mark in December 2000, when my wife was working with him in Tokyo. For the 14 months we were out there I was continually amazed at how Mark was so brilliant, so thoughtful, so considerate, so insightful, and also so entertaining. He also had great taste, which made my living in Tokyo that much better. Mark will be missed so much. My deepest sympathies go out to Karen, Jack, Mariko and the rest of Mark's family.

I first met Mark when I was interviewing for a summer associate position more than a decade ago. I liked him instantly. He was that kind of guy. The more I talked to him over the next couple of years, the more I liked and admired him. He was as kind hearted as he was intelligent. I feel very fortunate to have known him. To his wife and children, please know you're in our thoughts and prayers.
