Mark George Nugent

Sadly I did not have a lot of contact with Mark, but I treasure my chilhood memories of my cousin. The pensive pre-teen who had to give up his room for his pesky little girl cousins when they came to stay. How I would always be drawn to him and slip my hand in his and he wouldn't mind. We could stay hands held without words. It was for me a safe haven of kindness, acceptance and peace. Even though we have been so far apart for so long I am sad that you have gone Mark. Much love, Liz

I think Mark's recent funeral showed what a respected, honourable and loved person he was. With him being my uncle, i've had the chance to know him for the 15 years of my life. We both shared the same passion for digital art, as we used to share, send and comment on each others latest work. His was truly inspiring. Though his life wasn't easy, a smile ran across his face every time we met.
I'll miss you uncle Mark,

Having just attended Nuge's funeral in Montreal last weekend, I am happy to say that I enjoyed meeting his mother, Margaret, his 'solid guy' brothers, his cute nieces, and his family generally -- as well as his cool friends, most of whom I had the chance to chat with, hang out with, and even joke around with a bit -- relating our communal experience of appreciating a creative, capable, humorous, and deeply thoughtful guy who cared about people, and who was always fascinating to talk with...

I am not the same person now that Mark is gone. His departure has left a void in my life and has taught me that true friends are irreplaceable. Mark was always always there to support,encourage and comfort me. I met him when I was 19, through an add in the paper in 1998 as I was looking for a room in Montreal, it said: "large room plateau, smoking ok, mark". It was perfect for me. I had just landed in Canada to study film, and it was simply the greatest luck to have lived with him. When I ...

Dear Margaret,
I was so sad to hear about your lost ,the world lost an unique person the day he died. May your many memories and happy times carry you through.
Sincerely Jean Lacombe

If you are lucky there is someone in your life who believes you can do anything and that everything you do is amazing, who loves you despite your faults and forgives you easily. Mark was that person for me. Irreplaceable.

My deepest condolences go out to the Nugent family at this difficult time. Mark was a dear and loyal friend whom I will always remember for his clever wit and profound powers of perception. Mark's love and appreciation of outsider music, literature and film was highly infectious and I will always cherish our lengthy conversations on topics great and small. How can I ever listen to 'Just Like Everybody' by 23 Skidoo the same way again? Rest In Peace Brother Mark

I am thankful to have known such a warm generous and loyal friend,I'm thankful to have enjoyed such rich conversations full of relevance and humor with him.I will miss him dearly,but I will always cherish our friendship.

Although I did not know Mark very well, I have the highest respect for his work. He was truly a Fine Artist, in both senses. I will do my best to preserve and continue to make our collaborations available for future generations to learn from and enjoy. He will be with us, always.
