Dear Minard Family,
I had the pleasure in calling Mark my friend and eventhough I only knew him for a short time, it was enough to know that he was a kind, caring,and giving man. Please take comfort in your lost knowing that he had made a big decision at one point in his life to ask Christ into his heart and with that he found forgiveness and peace in his life. He, like all of us, have things in our lives that can hold us captive and are difficult to let go, but rest-assured that God's strenght is great and his grace is sufficent for all our needs. I will miss Mark. However, I will take comfort in knowing that he's free. May God give you peace through this time of loss.

I was in elementary school with Mark and at UVM also. Reconnected with him at the class reunion of RHS & MSJ a few years ago. He could always make me laugh and he was a great guy. So sorry for the family. There are no words really, but may you be comforted by your memories.

To Mrs. Minard and family:
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Mark. I have real warm memories of him when I was in elementary and HS. He was my hero for a long time growing up. GOD Bless Mark, and may our Savior use Mark's fresh smile and gentle touch with us.
I want to share one of my fo d memories with you.
When I was in first grade at CKS, Mark was in the sixth grade w/ my brother Georeg. They were Patrol Guards and Mark would alway bring me to the front of the line to walk. I would see Mark over years at the family home & town over the years, and at the family home when hanging around with his brothers Jeff or Steven. He was always nice, and exhibited that Mark smile and frindly touch. Haven't seen Mark in twenty plus years, have often thought of him the the whole Minard family, what an awesome family, and Mr. Minard the music teacher/band leader! This is such sad news.
Mark, R.I.P. my old dear friend, my big Hero. When you enter GOD's glorious Kingdom uour smile and gentle touch will guide you to eternal peace. Amen.

Cathryn, Gary,Jeff and Steven, I am so sorry for the loss of Mark. I can't even to begin to imagine how it is to loose a sibling. I too remember him as the little boy with all the freckles, of course I left Rutland in 1969 and haven't seen any of my Minard cousins since then except Gary in 1987. I still remember the family reunions and all the fun we had as kids. My prayers are with you and may Mark rest in peace.
Love to all of you

I had the privilege of knowing Mark as a friend and as his pastor for a short time. He was the kind of guy I was always glad to see and realize now what a great quality that is.
We grieve Marks death, but not without hope. Through all his struggles he found peace with the God who knows us, loves us still and forgives us.
My deepest sympathy to all Marks friends and family for your loss.

Mark was one of the niciest guys I have come across in a long time. I always enjoyed our talks and the joking around we would do at work. I will miss him and he will be in my thoughts always.

Mark was just simply amazing. I miss him so much it physically hurts. He was mild mannered, soft hearted and about as hard headed as it gets. A true friend to all and an enemy of none. I will miss the laughs, the arguments and the lively debates. The fact that we would agree to disagree on just about every issue…I regret not telling you that I loved you more often because that my friend I truly did. God bless you Mark may you rest in peace.

Mark "Mummy" Minard was a great friend to many of us. He had fun with life, and played it hard and enthusiastically. We have been praying for "Mum", and will never forget him.
