Mark Joseph Becher

I just found out about Mark Becher's passing today. I am shocked and have so many nice memories of our meetings and time together at Accredited. I considered him a mentor and I had the utmost respect for him. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

I just found out about Mark's passing today from my parents. I grew up about a block away from Mark in Vincennes and have many fond memories of playing with our "Hot Wheels" cars as well as playing basketball and "kick the can" with all the neighborhood kids in the Becher's backyard. I extend my deepest sympathy to your family.

Michelle - i am from Indiana and moved to Georgia in approx 1993 or so and Mark was one of the first guys i met. I literally walked into a gym in buckhead and he was wearing Indiana and i had just moved to Ga from IN. From there we played 1,000+ basketball games together and he had a tremendous impact on me and all of our friends that played with him. He was a quiet warrior, always the best player in the gym, but also quiet and everyone liked him and he raised the bar for everyone in the gym. I will miss him greatly. I moved back to Indiana several years ago and am sad i did not get to see him. He had a tremendous impact in my life and i will never forget my friend and will miss him. I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Been thinking of you the past several days....I know you had a great surprise with the big group from Vincennes that came to honor Mark's friendship. I know from experience once everyone has gone home and things get "quiet" can be the most difficult time. I am praying for peace and comfort for you and the kids.

I know what you've been going through, and we know there are great ones watching over us. Now we can move forward and celebrate Mark's life. You know if there is anything we can do , just call me or tammy.

Praying for your continued strength..Mark will be so missed. I will never forget seeing Mark at Trae's funeral. As I came out of the chapel and turned the corner the first person I saw was Mark standing there. I ran and hugged him, and thanked him for being there. He said he would always remember the TRAE stories I told when we worked together. Now he and Trae can enjoy heaven together.

I do wish I could attend the funeral, to be there with all of you, but it's rather prohibitive to fly on short notice and get there in time. Your foundation seems like the better, more long lasting way of spending the money and honoring Mark. I hope you know that my heart and prayers will continue to go out to you and the kids, even though I can't be with you this week.

Love always

Michelle,

Meeting Mark so many years ago was a blessing in my life. I loved working with him and laughing with him. He was a dear friend.
Heaven is a brighter place today...May Mark shine in heaven as he shined on earth.

There aren't enough words to truly tell you how it pains me to hear about Marks passing. He touch my life more than you would ever know. He was a great man and friend. He was truly someone that I was proud to have come in contact with. My prayers are with you and your lovely family. The rest of the gang wants you to know that we will be here for you whenever you need us. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you as you begin your new journey and always know that you are not alone.

Michelle,

There truly are no words to describe the enormous sense of loss that Mark's passing will have on so many. Mark is an example of what it is to be a friend, colleague, mentor, husband, and father. We can only pray that we all should live by his example and that from heaven he will continue to guide and protect us the way he did in his life. I can say wholeheartedly that I am not the only one that lost a treasured friend. He will be deeply missed. My prayers will continue to be with you, Cole and Haley.

Mrs. Becher you were amazing and supportive of your husband to the very end. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. God bless. Sharon Hosein, RN

I knew Mark through high school and college. He was truly one of the greatest kids around. Shelly and all the Becher family, you have my deepest sympathies.

We are shocked to hear the news. We haven't seen Mark in quite a while but considered him one of our closest friends. It is truly a loss for this world for him to be gone.

It has been my sincere privlege knowing Mark Becher. He is one of the kindest men I know. I worked for Mark many years ago, but have never forgotten his guidance, patience, care and concern he showed. He will be deeply missed. My heart and prayers go out to the family during this time of loss.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
