Not sure what to say?

No one will see this at this point but Mark was my brother-in-law through his marriage to my sister Cheryl Brabec after graduation from Rice. Mark was super and what a voice. I also knew his mom and dad (Marshall and Kate) in Galveston. They were so sweet. They had me over for lunch/dinner while I was in school in Galveston. Great to see that Mark did well and found God in his life.

How can a person like Mark Wakefield Fowler be summed up in a paragraph? Any attempt is woefully inadequate. Mark was easily one of the greatest influences in my life.
I first met Mark at KLEF in the early 80s. He was in his early 30s with a bit of grey at the temples, 6'2" and strikingly handsome. His voice was deep and resonant--perfect for radio. His demeanor was understated and elegant--obviously well-bred and well educated. Despite this reserved exterior, Mark had a cutting wit...

I am truly saddened to hear that Mark had passed away. He was a very close and dear friend for 20 years. We worked together at KLEF and lost touch when I moved away. This is a great loss to all.

Mark was a special friend, long ago. I am grieved to hear he is now gone and send my sympathetic regards to his wife and family. Like Mark, I also bird and sing with a choir. I will remember him fondly during the spring migration in Central Park.

Mark hired me for my first radio job, at KLEF. With that hire, Mark bravely broke the gender barrier, upsetting his old-school boss. Mark's was the signature sound of the classical music radio of the time--low and elegant, slow-paced, intelligent and learned. Thank you for the opportunity to acknowledge this kind, sensitive soul.

Sharon, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. From what I have heard, he was greatly loved. --Donna (a friend of Jill's)

Dear Sharon,
We are so sorry and sad that Bro. Mark passed away. He is such a nice person, very kind, affectionate, and humorous. We miss him very much. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved husband. May God give you the strength peace and comfort at this tormenting time.
- Ann and Rector

Mark was a special person and a great colleague. I will miss him, especially on the battlefields and at conferences. I'm glad that our paths crossed (for the last time) in November.

,Sharon, We are so sorry. Mark was a wonderful person, Jiohn Armstrong
