Not sure what to say?

y! For some reason I decided to try and find you all again. So sad to hear Marks life was cut so short. I have soooooo many memories of you all. Babysitting your girls and the birthday party you had for me that I never attended . Mark, Mark Mark bigger than life and the best person to work with and for. So many good times in New Orleans. Much love to you and the girls

Dear Moey and Girls,
I was so sad to hear that Mark has passed away, Our Erin just told me yesterday and I feel badly that I wasn't able to send my condolences sooner.
Although I didn't know Mark real well I knew that he had a great sense of humor and such a love of family. I remember that he loved coaching the girls baseball teams as well. Your family was always so kind to my Erin. Letting her swim at the Hyatt pool and the many fun activities she was able to do with all...

I didnt know mark very well personally except for the fact that we both had the same passion for notre dame football. I worked for mark at the Hyatt and he was a great man to work for and he always made time to talk to me even though i was just a bellman. I know he would have been thrilled to see the Irish play like they did. Best wishes to Erin, Caitlin, and Mrs. O'Brien.

Moey and girls, I still can't find the right words to express my thoughts to you on the passing of a most wonderful man. I guess this weekend being the Hall of Fame inductions in Cooperstown somehow makes me remember him even more because I remember his love for baseball and how often we talked about the Orioles and the Ripken streak. I've never known anyone who loved life and his family more genuinely and honestly than Mark did. I can still picture him with his cup of coffee (or 'cuppa...

Dear. Mark i am sorry that you have left so soon. i just wish i got to here you voice one more time. i loved you very much even though i didn't show it i hope you and govie are waiting for i love love you so much

Love Ryan Walton

Moey and family,
I am so shocked and saddened at your loss. Mark was a wonderful man and devoted husband and father. Please know that you are in my prayers.

I send my condolences to all the O'Brien Family. Although I did not know Mark, I did know his dad, J. Paul O'Brien;I used to work with Paul years ago and found him to be a very kind and helpful person. Although we were never sure that we were related, he still treated me as though we were. If Mark was anything like his dad, then he was truly a remarkable and special person.

Mark O'Brien was such a warm, friendly, and genuine man and father. I was completely shocked to find out about his sudden heart attack. The first time I met the O'Brien family was on my orientation to UK & was lucky enough to be seated next to their family who helped calm my parents fears of sending their eldest to college. Mr. O'Brien personally arranged for me to stay with his daughter in Donovan Hall at the request of my father :) He & his family invited me to dinner all the time, dropped...

The O'Brien Family and the Cirulli Family of Elmira, New York were similar in many ways - including the fact that Pat O'Brien was the oldest of seven children and I was the oldest of seven. We were and are best friends to this day. The physical loss of Mark is as though we have ourselves lost a beloved brother. To the O'Brien clan, to Moey, your beautiful daughters, and the Sheehan clan, the Cirulli family of Elmira and Gainesville holds you in our hearts with great love and compassion. You...
