I just learned of his passing. He taught me English like in 1968. In all my subsequent studies I never hmexoeruenced again such a kind, compassionate instructor combined with such a sharp intelligence and mastery of his subject. He had a lifelong effect on those He taught.

Dr.Sevier was my professor for two British Lit classes at Lamar College in 1968-69. He introduced me to much new thiught and new ways of thunking. He was too respected by me to be callled a friend, but truly was, and is a dear friend even tiday. He introduced me to William Blake whose work is central to my world view. Thank you Dr.Sevier, so much.

I just learned of Mark's death. He was a wonderful person and helped with our Salts family DNA project. He helped prove a link between the Salts family and Sevier family. I met him 3 years ago and enjoyed him relating stories of his life experiences.
So sorry for your loss.

I had the honor of being an aide for Dr. Sevier in his ESL classroom at Tehran American School in 1978. His teaching style was gentle and kind and he allowed his students to have fun while learning. As I was in the very early stage of my education degree, I learned a lot of invaluable lessons from him. I am truly sorry to learn of his passing.

Victoria, Pamela and Jill. No matter when our loved ones leave us it is always "too soon". He was loved by so many around the world - and we have raised our glass to our"absent friend" for we loved him too.
