Mark Hanlon

TO MARK , TRULY THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN. YOU TAUGHT, CHALLENGED,TEASED, PROVOKED AND DEMANDED THE BEST FROM EVERYONE....THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT YOU THE MOST... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY LIVES YOU HAVE TOUCHED. I MISS YOU AND WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND ALL THE MEMORIES THAT I HOLD DEAR IN MY HEART...HOW LUCKY I AM THAT OUR PATHS DID CROSS I JUST WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN FOR LONGER...

Mark,
You have no idea what impact you had made on my life. I know you got so frustrated with me...firing me...let me see...how many times..haha! Also, telling me that Margaret and I were job security...we still laugh about it to this day...I miss you so very much..and it hurts so much when I think of you and even step into a gym..I can't stop thinking about you..I miss you..! Love..butthead...haha!

Mark, It doesn't seem like a year has passed since you have been gone and then again it feels like a eternity. You are still missed and thought of alot by me and my sissy who still sheds a tear when we talk about you. You helped me tremendously in my contest days, always gave hope and support. Thank you for those painful leg workouts. Thank you for your friendship and love. I always can picture that smerk on your face. I always loved trying to get you to crack a smile when you where trying...

He

will be missed. He was a great friend, even though after moving to LA I

had not seen him in a long time. I often thought of the good times at the
old gym with wayne, branch,steve,sam, richard,dave,ronnie and mark. A bunch of young men with our lives
ahead of us. So today was a sobering reminder of life.
My prayers will
be with you guys as you go through this. Please if I can
do anything contact
me.

Mark,
What do I say? You tranied me while we were at Grapevine Family Fitness,then at Berkeys building and then Southlake. I was your "bestman" or "bestwoman" when you married Shannon. You were a special person. We had out dissgreements!! We had our special times!! You were good at what you did, sometimes a little overboard!! I left you, but you stayed in my heart!! You did have a big heart when you wanted too!! What is this world gonna do without you?? Just know that I always cared!! Now...

Mark,
I am so sorry that your gone. You were a very dedicated individual in your field. You helped me understand the benefits of working out and pushing yourself to see what you can do. I hope that you are at peace and at rest. You will be missed.

You are at piece now, not worrying what’s going to happen next in life and at the top of your game. You once said don’t stop tiring until you couldn’t breath. Then do 40 more’ please rest in peace. You are / where a good man and you will not be forgotten.

I just heard the news. I am so sad...It has been awhile since I have seen you, but you are the one I credit for getting me started on my fitness journey and that has led to many other positive changes in my life. I will always remember you for your inspiration and encouragement and willingness to see the good in others...you are one of a kind. You were always willing to give others a chance when few would. I wish I would have been able to say this to you in person, but thank you, and know...

Mark, where do I begin? We knew each other for about 8 years, you employeed me for about 6 of those. We always had fun man, no matter what was goin on in the gym/world. I can't believe your gone dude. You were an inspiration to everyone, and told it like it was. Too many memories too list. I guess heaven has a new head trainer. Your gonna be missed very much dude, R.I.P.
