Mark, you've been my friend for nine years now. No matter what happened in our lives or how much time was spent apart, you were a constant in my life. You were a truly great person, everyone's teddy "Bear," and you always had a way of finding the silver lining. You always said that I was never to cry when you left, that I could cry when I saw you again and knew you were well and safe. I'll see you in heaven someday, and trust me, the tears will flow then as they do now. To the Chandler/Farabaugh family, you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark, you were such a special person! I'm lucky to have so many memories with you, most of them from band camp, Friday night football games and competitions! You always had everyone laughing and ill never forget how I was your instant arm rest(since you were soo tall and I was sooo short)! You had a beautiful soul, an unforgettable smile and a laugh that was beyond contagious! You will be forever missed and my deepest sympathy goes to your family and the love of your life. Love ya bear! :(

Mark,
Right away when I saw your face, I recognized you from the halls of Hammy High. I looked through some of your facebook pictures and noticed one thing...while you were alive....you lived. I never knew you personally, but I know of the great sacrifice you made. You are a hero.

Mark, I can't believe you're gone. It only seems like yesterday that we were hanging out with each other. Wish I could've said hi to you one last time. You are a hero and a friend to many.

Mark, I only had the pleasure of meeting you once thanks to Jannis, but the many conversations we had showed what a kind heart you had. You were an amazing person who had a lot of love to give. And from all those who wrote before me it is true you touched many people's lives while on this earth. Now you are one of those angels in heaven looking down on us all. You will be truly missed. Let your memory live on forever.....

“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1.23-25

Mark,
I truly cherished all of the time that we spent together and you lived life to the fullest, all the time never second guessing yourself. It is a true shame that the world had to have you taken from us at this time, and I truly feel for your parents having just done this a few weeks ago.
My sincerest condolences,

Mark,
You always had the ability to make me laugh, whether it was in choir class, study hall or at play practice. There was never a dull moment. Heaven truly has a wonderful angel in you. To all of your parents I am very sorry and mark, you will always be in my heart. I love you buddy

True greatness is never a result of a chance occurrence or a one-time effort or achievement. It requires the development of character and Mark... you envelope the meaning of true greatness. I know not of a single person who was not positively influenced by the way you lived your life. Thank you for being a true joy! I believe the Lord called you home and I look forward to seeing you there someday. Till then, we'll enjoy our memories with you and strive to bring the same joy you had brought to so many.
Forever missed,
Ellie Mae

Mark,
You were the funniest, most caring person I have known. I haven't seen you since we graduated but I am very grateful for the time I got to spend with you. You always made me laugh and had something smart to say...kicking my chair from behind to get my attention just to smile. God took a true angel to fly with him....RIP Mark you will be missed more than words can express

Mark,
You are an absolutely wonderful person. Heaven must have needed someone to make everyone smile up there, because you did an awesome job of it here with all of us. You will always be remembered for your charm, your charisma, your sense of humor and your love for adventure. You have impacted everyones life that you knew, some way or another. Thank you for showing me the world in a different view, from the sky. Rest in peace. We all love you and miss you more than you ever knew.

Mark, it was a honor meeting you thru Shannon. You always brought happiness wherever you went. I'm going to miss your goofiness and humble smile the most. One thing i will never EVER forget is the way you would look at Shannon no matter if she was right in front of you or across the room. You could tell your love from a mile away. A heart like yours is truly special. And I cant wait to go to more halloween parties with you and bring you hott coco to hear you say tht I am the best and #1 to you, then hear you say well Shannon is #1 but only by default! haha You always could bring a smile to anyones face. and One day we will all do this again. I will miss you. Give God a kiss for me. Love you!
love, Sarah

I still can't believe what has happened to you. I was eating wings and watching the race tonight, and Friends in Low Places started playing. And I cried so much, at a bar of all places. I miss you more and more as time continues. A talk with you would do wonders right now. There's so much I need to tell you. And I know you would be able to help right now. I really miss you buddy.

*1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails ...*
