Mark Brandon Obituary
Funeral: 3 p.m. Tuesday at Bluebonnet Hills Memorial Chapel. Burial: Bluebonnet Hills Memorial Park. Visitation: 6 to 9 p.m. Monday at the funeral home.
Mark died while doing what he loved--riding his motorcycle. Born March 12, 1951, Mark grew up in the HEB area and attended L.D. Bell High School. For the past 12 years, he was a resident of Carrollton.
Mark was the owner and president of an advertising and marketing company in Euless. He had the gift of a great salesman.
Mark was a loving and caring son, as well as a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Janet was the love of Mark's life from the moment they met.
Mark had a lot of love for his mother and father. After the death of his father, Mark took care of his mother, Barbara, and her home.
Mark was very proud of his heritage, being a third-generation Harley enthusiast. His unquestionable love for his bike and numerous biker brothers can never be challenged. The brotherhood of bikers has lost and will greatly miss one of its best.
Not only was he loyal to the brotherhood of bikers his undying friendship was also extended to all others who knew him well. "Loner" will forever "ride" by our sides and in our hearts.
Mark was preceded in death by his father, W.D. "Dub" Brandon.
Survivors: His devoted wife, Janet; sons, Richey and wife, Cindy, Brock, Cody; daughter, Brooke; 10 grandchildren; and his loving mother, Barbara.

Hi Cody.
My husband lost his mom at the age of 17 on Jan. 26, 2006. He hurts everyday. I am sure that you, too, hurt everyday. But I know that as time has passed the pain has lessened and I just wanted to commend you for still following in your dad's footsteps. He'd've been so proud of you. Anyways, I feel so much for you. Be safe and God bless.

Precious Brandon Family,
I worked with Mark for several years as his Graphics Arts Manager. It was an honor to get to know Mark, his family, friends, and fellow employees. God had a divine reason for all of our lives to connect, because it is His desire that we all dwell with Him in eternity together.
It saddens me that I did not receive the news of Mark's accident until it was too late to pay my respects; however, I am thankful for this guest book to have the opportunity to say, "Thank you, Mark. Thank you for trusting me to oversee the graphics end of your wonderful company. Thank you for giving my daughter a chance and ministering to her when she made wrong choices. Thank you for acknowledging your appreciation for me by honoring me with your first "Employee of the Year" award. You always rewarded your employees for their hard work and showed appreciation and esteemed them for a job well done. I will miss you, we all will, but we will meet again."
It was very easy to fall in love with Mark and his family and friends because he could be so loving. He will be greatly missed. And I will never forget the last thing he said to me as I ventured out into a new ministry for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Mark said, "Joy, keep praying for me." Well, Mark, I did and I always will and I'll continue to pray for your precious wife, Janet, and your children, as well.
Janet, I pray peace for you and a security in knowing that, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. No man comes to the Father, but by the Lord Jesus Christ. I praise Him for the mercy and grace that He gives us in our downtrodden times. He promised to never leave or forsake us and I trust that and pray that you do, too.
Debra, I love you, and miss you and I know that you will do a great job at picking up the ball and playing a great game. With team members such as Aixa and Tom, to name only a few, the task will be much easier.
To Mark's adoring Mother, I say, God bless you for praying for him and I pray peace to your heart and my deepest sympathy for your grief. We both know that Mark is not lost, but only made the journey ahead of us and will be there to greet us when the Father calls us home. May you rejoice in this always.
God bless you all and please feel free to email me anytime or phone me. I may no longer be an employee of DFW Marketing, but I am still a sister in the Lord and care for you and love you all, deeply.
With all my heart.

Dear Janet, There are no words to express the great shock of losing Mark. I know I told you, God must've needed another Warrior up there, and Mark will make a good one. If someone said "Give me adjectives to describe Mark" I'd say: Character, Fairness, Integrity to name a few. He was an awesome guy to know...having his presence in our lives and losing it so soon makes me think he must have been here to show us all how to be better people. Me, Miguel and the guys on the crew will miss him dearly, Janet. You must never forget we are here if you need anything. Mark became such a great friend as the years passed, I forgot he was also a customer.

Janet and family,
Both Chuck and I are so very sorry for your loss. We attended Mark's funeral and felt so much love for Mark from so many people. We respected Mark as a businessman and enjoyed working with his company. He will be missed. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

I am saddened by the passing of Mark. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. You and Mark were there when Steve passed away a few years ago and I know that Mark is hanging out with Dub and Steve watching over all of us. They will always be with us. Someone recently told me that God knows the beginning date and ending date; it is what we make of the dash in the middle that counts. Mark made his dash counts with the love of his family.

Mark, you were always so kind to our family when the occasion occured that we would come to your house. We were ex inlaws of Janet but you alway treated us like family. We always loved you and considered you family. We will miss your presense in our lives and my heart goes out to Cody & Janet who has a void in their life that can never be filled. Your loving spirit will always be in our hearts.

And to my Aunt Janet and family you will be in my prayers always.

Mark, you will always be in my heart and mind telling me all the things you were always teaching me, I regret that I never got to say good-bye. You were not only like a dad to me, but the man who tought just about me everything I know about business. Thank you for always believing in me even when no one else not even myself could. I'm sorry for not always listening to you, I promise to listen for now on! My thoughts and prayers are with your MoM, Janet, Brook, Brock, Richey, and everyone who held you close.

Mark...
You are a truley blessed man. Where we only saw limitations- you saw endless potential. Where we saw impossibilities- you saw possibilities. You never would let us say - "I can't do it" You pushed us because you believed in us, even when we did not believe in ourselves.
How do I even begin to thank you for your friendship and devotion to everyone whom you knew.
We will forever miss you, and I promise to care for "Your Company and Your Employees" as only you could.

Janet,
I only met you once, but I first met Mark when I worked at Vision Graphics. He became one of my favorite customers and later, after I left and he took over the company, he was always trying to get me to come back to work for him, selling printing. He was such a nice guy in every way. I know that it is hard to accept this, but you will always have your memories. He will be there when you need him now, just as he was in the past. There are no words to help you and the way you feel right now or I would say them. Just now that he was a honorable man, a good man, and a joy to all who knew him.

A good friend you were to me. Our younger days were fun. In your way you did influence me. When it came to being tough you were at the top. Gosh we played a million games of tackle football with no pads all over Hurst. I miss those days even more today having learned of your passing. Rest in peace my friend. I assumed that we would run into each other as we always seemed to do over the years, but sadly I now know we will not. But it comforts me to know from what I have read here that your going to the same house as me. See you on the other side my old friend.

Mark, my friend...I will miss you and I am so sad that I have not seen you recently. I would have told you, I Love you. I'm telling you now. I have your smile in my memory for a life time. We all do. You always smiled. I would have said "Thanks, Mark for being a good friend to me in my younger years. I will never forget the day I met you...It's one of my favorite memories". I'll see you again one day ...Brother Mark, Love you,...Nec'e Vrtiska

Mark, What a glorious day that you are with our King Jesus Christ. Heaven has opened up it's doors, the cloulds have parted, and the angels are singing on high. Thank You Jesus that in death there is eternal life. I ask Father God that Your comfort Janet, Barbara, & Cody during this difficult time and I ask Lord that you shower them with Your Peace. I ask for a Hedge of Protection to surround them. I ask Lord that you touch each of us in a powerful way, as we rejoice in the life that Mark Lived. Thank You for his kindness, and Mark's inate ability to see the good in every situation and person. He saw only possibilities, and that is a true gift of Love. Thank you Lord God for blessing each one of us with your child, Mark, and the unique way he touched our lives. In Jesus Holy Precious Gracious Name. Amen. Rejoice and be strong for the Lord is with us.

Mark,
I thank you so much for the short time that I had with you. I keep thinking that at any moment, I'm going to hear you ask me how many interviews we have today or call at 4:00 in the afternoon and say good morning. I will miss those times, but I know that you're looking down on us smiling at us and telling us to get at in. Thank you for teaching me to always believe in the good of others and to always give others a chance. You gave me a chance and for that I'm grateful. Thanks Mark.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Sadness blankets my heart and my face, I will try to express how much you meant to me.
In the short, very short, four years that I have known you, I have had the honor to ride beside you, party with you, laugh, and be sad. Words can not express how much I am going to miss that.
If any one could ever show light in some ones life, you did with me. This world has lost a very good person at heart. I will forever be grateful for your words and trust, and your truth. I am just sorry that I can not make this journey, like so many others that I made with you. Just know that your memory will live forever in my heart, and in my life.
Your brother, friend forever,
