Mark David VanMatre

To the Van Matre family,
i am sorry to hear about Marks death. Know that you are all in my prayers. Always know there were good memories of all our days at D.R. and St. Mary's!

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I remember Mark from Divine Redeemer and have only good, fun memories of him and can only imagine how many more wonderful memories he has left with others!

My condolces to your entire family.

To Mike, Anne and the rest of the VanMatre clan:

Was so sorry to hear of Mark's passing; but not of how he lived his life.

The obituaries I read online (in the Muncie paper and the Gazette-Telegraph) reminded me of the kind, lighthearted guy I remember at St. Mary's High School.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark's passing is sad news to many; including those of us who knew Mark from St. Mary's High School.

He was the kind of guy that made a lasting impression.

When I think of Mark, I think "kind, caring and compassionate".

I was glad to learn that he was at peace and surrounded by family when he went home to be with our Lord.

His story is only halfway told as we will meet him again one day in heaven and we can catch up then.

Our prayers go to his...

Sometimes it seems that the kindest souls return to heaven first. Maybe they are here to show us by example, how we are supposed to love. Then they return to heaven to give us a chance to follow in their footsteps.Mark was truly one of those souls. I had never seen him be unkind or heard a cruel word leave his lips. You must all be so proud to have called him son, brother, father, uncle and friend.May God bless your beautiful family. We can all rejoice in Mark's healing!Love You!
