Mark's Samohi Grad Pic, 1978

Mark, we were classmates at Lincoln JHS and Samohi. You were so cool, outgoing and kind, and went so far in life.
All of your classmates are still in shock.
Prayers for you and your family.
May God take you into His Mercy and shower you with Love.

Dear Mr. Coon,

I was shocked and saddened to find out about what happened and wanted to express my deepest sympathy to your family. Thank you for your help with those issues we discussed last year. May our Lord keep you safe in His loving care. May the truth come out.

My dearest cousin, my childhood friend and constant companion, you came into our lives and we shared everything, we travelled and lived in 3 countries and my parents loved you as there own, and there are no words that comes close to what you have always meant to me, my Dad, your Godfather "Steve" and Joan the real Mother, but in law your Aunt. Only we as a tight knit little family knew the full story and your untimely end could never reflect those joyous childhood days..

My grief...

Dear Mark,

We haven't spoken in years but I was thinking of you recently and decided to look you up online tonight. I was planning to reach out and reconnect. I am so sad to read that you have passed on.

Mark and I met at UC Hasting College of the Law in 1984. I was working in the library and he was a student. We had so much fun together. Mark always had a great sense of humor. He was an excellent writer and a sincere person with such integrity. He cared deeply about...

Mark was an incredibly kind, thoughtful and gentle spirit, who I first met in 1993 when we were associates at the Archer McComas Law Firm, where he later met his wife. I was honored to be their "matchmaker," maid of honor, and guest in their home on countless occasions. Mark adored his wife and kids, and blossomed into the devoted family man that he was. Mark was so bright, so talented, and yet so humble. He took an interest in everyone around him, and was always welcoming and warm. Mark will...

I met Mark when we both worked at a supermarket in Santa Monica. I remember thinking that he was really nice, smart and had a great sense of humor. We kept in contact through the years and those great traits never left Mark, even as his career soared. I have such happy memories of him! I will miss you Mark Coon.

I met Mark in 1971 at Roosevelt Elementary School in Santa Monica. We shared some carefree times as children. We had only recently reconnected through Facebook. He really was a good guy.

I'm so sorry to learn of this. I remember Mark in law school as thoughtful, inquisitive, modest, and ready to laugh (his eyes crinkling shut). He talked of his worries about Sasha and, for himself. about looking for a solid relationship and family life. I was so happy for him when he became City Attorney, reaching a pinnacle of professional success atter working so hard and as such a solid guy. So so sad...

I was so saddened by the news of Mark's passing. I will always have fond memories of him. My deepest condolences go out to his family. Life goes on, but it will be a little sadder without Mark. Rest in peace my dear friend.
