Mark Garin Donnelly

If anyone has any questions or wants to talk to me for any reason,
even if you just want to talk about Mark, you can call me @ 206 276 0784. I dont check my e-mail every day so I
thought I'd put down my number. I was the guy wearing the Seahawks jersey. Thanks to everyone again for coming and paying your respects. I love Don Don soooooo much and will miss him til the day I die.

Mark and I spent a lot of time together towards the end of high school and soon after, but he and I lost touch for the many years since. I will truly miss him and will always love him.

It was my son's first year in football; he wasn't the best player on the team but Mark made him feel important, cared for and respected. My son never quit because he didn't want to let Mark down; that was the kind of man Mark was. I will always remember him for helping guide my son to become the young man he is and to keep trying even when his mom accidentally dyed his practice pants pink! What a great human being who will be sorely missed. I will always treasure the buckeye he gave me during...

I want to thank all of you coaches and volunteers of Ballard Junior Football. I cherrish those 6 years and feel my son will become a better young man thanks to you and coaches like Mark Donnelly.

Don Don and his assistants, Pops, Rick and Chris where a wonderful group of coaches that coached our youngsters at this special time of their lives. The Bantams are early teenage boys that loved playing for Don Don and because he taught them that hard work resulted in success. His teams...

TOO SOON TO SAY GOOD-BYE

My brother's boy, my brother in duplicate.
So intense with life, and so determined.

Nephew, it breaks my heart to lose you.
Family is precious. It was not easy to be with you sometimes.
You had your own way, but you loved your family.

You loved coaching and you were proud of the kids on your team.
You were able to inspire and help each of them perform their best and have a positive attitude, win or lose.

Your friends are...

My heart goes out to Mark and his family. Knowing Mark from growing up on Queen Anne and at Franklin, I know how much he will be missed by all who knew him. May we all look to the stars and know that Mark is enjoying what he loved most in life; and giving his guidance to the Seahawks.

Mark was one of those guys who you couldnt help but love & adore. My family & I will surely miss him!

I still can hardly believe it. I stumbled onto Mark's notice in the PI yesterday. I recognized Marilyn's name and checked his birthday and Grandma Phyllis name against my old records and sure enough, it was him.

I was a Big Brother to Mark in the early 80s. He was about 10 or so then and had a dog named Buddy. We did that for a couple years. Went to Mariner games in the Kingdome then of course, Sonics, pizza, video games which mostly meant Pac Man and Donkey Kong at Godfather's back...

I haven't seen Mark since Franklin, but I do remember what a super nice guy and great person he was. I am so sad to hear about this loss. My condolences go out to Mark's family.
