Love,

We can only pray that you have peace and joy in your hearts when you are remembering him and sharing stories with others about him.

With all the thoughts of Mark we've had recently, I just want you to know that his life continues on in all our memories. He was a fantastic young man and our lives are enriched having the priveledge of having Mark in our lives. We love you all and are thinking of you often! Debbie, Kevin, Jennifer and Andy

Dear Jim, Doreen, Lindsey, and Patrick,
Everyday for the last five months I have thought of Mark and all of you. I can't even express how sorry I am for what happened. Even though I had not seen Mark for sometime before his death he was and always will be an important part of my life. I remember us all being kids and all the fun we used to have. I pray every night to Mark and for you all. I still cry at times about it, I can only imagine how you all feel. I know though that Mark is in heaven and I am greatful to god that he gave me the chance to know such a talented and good hearted person. I hope that I will see you all soon.
Love,
Abby Kwayzer

Dear Neukirch family,
There are not enough words to explain what Mark meant to my family and I. Being Marks girlfriend I had the chance to do all kinds of exciting things with him and your family. Mark was the best boyfriend a girl could have, he treated me like a princess and made me feel so loved. Mark was such a huge part of my life and will be missed greatly. He was such a great person and got along with my family so well. He and my brother had become friends this past summer and even did things together while I was away at school. My brother looked up to Mark as a big brother. He was always good about including my brother and I remember many times when Mark and I took him to a few parties and he had a blast with all of Marks friends. Mark helped bring my brother and I closer together and share the special bond that we now have. My parents also loved Mark, I remember a few times when I came into the room wondering if Mark was there to see me or my Dad. But I'm very glad that they had a chance to get as close as they did. The house feels so empty now that he isn't around, and he can never be replaced. Mark helped me grow as a person. I am such a better person for having known Mark, he brought so many of my good qualities out. He taught me not to be affraid to open up to people and to not be as shy as I tended to be. That was one thing about Mark he was not shy, he would go up to anyone and start up a conversation. He also taught me to live life to the fullest. At times when he had these wild adventures planned out I looked and him like he was crazy but followed along anyways, and now am so glad because I have the memories to charish forever. Mark always lived for the moment and now I see why, I'm just glad I was there with him to enjoy most of it these past few years. Mark meant so much to so many people. He had one of the most amazing personalities. He could light up a room with his smile and laugh. He was always willing to help people out and be there for them when they needed him. One of Marks best qualities was that he wasn't affraid of anything, if he wanted to do something there was no holding him back. Mark also had a big mouth and that was one of the many great aspects about him, he would just have times he would say crazy things and make so many people laugh. He would get some crazy line or word from a movie or something else he had seen and apply it to his daily vocabulary. At times it annoyed me because I didn't know what he was saying, but now miss it so much. He was never affraid to tell you what he was thinking. He could make any situation a fun one. Mark was a very special person and there will never be anyone like him. He is the best person I have ever had a chance to get to know and love, and will be missed more than I can explain. He was always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you guys. Love you!

The Neukirchs-
I don't know how to summarize my thoughts, but I want you all to know that you're in my prayers every day. Being Matt K's girlfriend of 4 years, I want to say that I know how you all must be feeling, but I'm sure this tragic accident has affected each of us differently. I talked to Matt K. just 15 minutes before the accident, and he sounded so excited for the three of them to be going out together since their schedules usually conflicted otherwise. Those three were always so goofy together. I can still remember Matt D. and Mark giggling in the background, as they made quick outfit changes before leaving to go out that night. Atleast we know that they are having a good time in Heaven together. Matt always talked about how great your family is, and you will continue to be in my prayers. If there is anything that I can ever do, please don’t hesitate to ask.

If I told you to forget the past
Would you wish it all away
If nothing sacred seems to last
Would you still ask to stay
The time seems fleeting
The heart un-mending
The spine keeps shaking
There's no certain ending
You'll hide away in a secret place
He'll be right there,you'll see his face
With arms outstretched he'll hold you near
The hurt and pain will all disappear
And all thats left is drying eyes
The silence comes, he's heard your cries
He takes the pain, the stress, the guilt and like the flower you begin to wilt
Because a new life begins in you
He stands beside to see you through
And everyday you'll find more peace
Eventually all the pain will cease
I wanted to share this beautiful poem writtten to us from E.Mackey

to the family of my "hero", my name is bryan and i worked with mark for roughly 9+months at woodfield lexus, your son was an inspiration to me and my decision about my life, mark was the sole person who fired me up about school, thanks to him he lead me to see that Universal Technical Institute is a great place for learing about mechanics, mark ment a lot to me, i never had the chance to thank him for changing my life and opening my eyes, but i would like to thank you and your family, from the bottom of my heart, to the Neukirch family my prayers and thoughts go to you, and thank you for your son's unwillingness to help out a fello friend.

To the Neukirch Family:
My husband, Chris worked with Mark and I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to you at this time. I know that Chris looked to Neuman as a younger brother in many ways. Their friendship went beyond the workplace and his loss is felt in our home as well. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity not only for me to meet your son, but also our children. You know someone is special if they make an impression on 5 & 7 year old girls.
I pray that you find strength in the support of all around you, and comfort in the knowledge that Mark touched the lives of all who knew him.

I was a friend of Mark's through Junior High and High School. It has been awhile since I have seen him or talked to him, but while we did see each other, he was always a very good person. He could always make me laugh. I would like to offer you my most heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time.

Dear family of Mark;
My heart goes out to you in this terrible loss. I never met you or your son, but I know your pain and shock as my 21 yr old son also was a fatality in a car accident over a year ago. As terrible as this is, remember this pain is only for a season and you will all be united again in a relatively short time. I pray you all feel the loving presence of God as he takes you thru this ordeal. God Bless

I would like to give my condolences to Marks family, especially his father Jim, who i had the pleasure to work for in the past. I used to see Mark just about everyday at the end of the work day working on that darn Honda Prelude. He was a great kid, and i enjoyed many a conversations with him. My heart goes out to the Neukirch family, may Mark Rest in Peace....
