Shantel,
Jeff and I just read your beautiful message and cannot tell you how much it means. Yes, it is almost 4 years since Mark has been gone. To read of the kind deeds he is remembered for is so heartwarming. To know that others remember him and think about him helps us deal with the reality that he is gone. August 31st is coming up and we will light the memorial candle and say our prayers.

Jill and the entire Miller Family..You all are often in my heart and prayers. I hope that time is healing you all and that you feel the love of those around you. It feels like yesterday that I heard the news. I knew mark on a professional level. He was the fire inspector and I a health inspector. We had met up on a few projects in the city and at some city outdoor cooking events. It was always great to see him because he was so nice and just made the work day enjoyable. I just remember how detailed he was and how nice and helpful he was. That Friday night Aug 28th I had to do a late inspection of a restaurant and Mark offered to met me over there because the owners were being difficult and something was wrong with the hood system. I told him no you need not bother but thank you for offering...I keep going back to that day like many others and wished I had the opportunity to have one more laugh with him or to just thank him for helping me do my job better but I knew I see him on Monday at the final inspection of another restaurant. I learned a lot about hood exhaust systems from him and about how to always tell colleagues how much you appreciate them. Often when I think of Mark and each year around this time I pray for strength and peace for all of the Miller Family. Thank you Jeff and Naomi for allowing me to express myself.

Brother,
We are coming up on 3 years since you left. I wish we could talk and plan a motorcycle ride across the country. I still have that whacky motorcade hat with the raccoon cover. Who could ever forget the effort you made to glue a Navy model to the top of my graduation cap and the times in the Philippines.
I still cry not only because you are gone but also because my daughter (Sidra) remembers you and misses her uncle.

Dearest Mark,
Time passes. It is now 7 months since you are gone. Your memory is ever so strong. Remembrances of you as my first baby, my endearing child, my Navy son, my brave, kind and giving adult son, memories of our last time with you last May and our last phone conversations last August -- all remain fresh and forever etched in my heart. I hear your laugh, see your smiling face, feel the strength of your hugs. Yes, you are gone from all of us - Dad, Jill, Eric and Miran, David and Wendy, Beth and Marc, Sydney, JJ, Noah, Sidra, Rital, Aunt Millie, your cousins, Juanita and Don. I believe you are in heaven with Grandma and Grandpa Eichel, Grandma and Grandpa Miller, Lois, and now Uncle Bill. I can almost feel your presence in the room as I add this message. Dad and I will forever love you with the depth of our beings. We know with the strength of our one God we will once again be reunited with you and hear your hearty, "Hey mom and dad". Looking to the Tucson mountain ranges and quoting from Psalm 121, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains; From whence shall my help come? My help cometh from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. "
May you find peace and consolation. With all our love
Mom and Dad

Dear Sister Jill, Mom and Dad and Family,
David and I truly love you all! I grieve for the many memories we won't have of our dear brother, Mark. I hope he knew how much we loved him. I hope he knew how much we cared about him. And I hope he knew that even though we were far apart in distance, that he was in our thoughts in prayers.
Your memory will linger in our hearts forever.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. First I want you to know that it is o.k. to still feel hurt and sadness even though we have a strong faith in God. Romans 15:4 says, “All things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.” We do receive comfort from the scriptures, but we also have to endure. It is so wonderful to know that Jehovah God remembers all who succumb to death, and promises that we will see our loved ones again. “The hour is coming in which all in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” John 5:28, 29. So God did not take your loved one or it would be foolish to resurrect him in the future. James 1:13 says with evil things God cannot be tried. You can be sure you will see him again. Our hearts and prayers are with the family.

There is a place
That we call memory...
A province by itself
Which, though unseen, is home
And heaven to the heart....
And there,
In peace and beauty waiting,
Are those with whom we shared
Our yesterdays.

I feel privileged to have attended Mark's Celebration of Life today at the Commisary. Although I never met him, I feel as though I know him and wish that I could have received one of his wonderful hugs. He was so special to so very many.
I will look forward to seeing you at the McCallum when you return. Until then, please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

The next time you hear thunder- it will be Mark on his Harley in Heaven! A kind soul with determination and grit. Mark was the kind of person who thought of others first- not too many people with that ability around in today's world. Our hearts mourn him- but we are oh so happy to have experienced his friendship.

Jill, it's 6:15 Friday evening and I just heard about Mark from a Client and Friend. Mark was the inspector for several projects we recently completed. My son and I had lunch with him on August 5th at the "Slice". You were suppose to be there but there was a mix-up with the days. I am sorry I didn't get to meet you.
I've known Mark for a couple of years on a professional level but on this last project we became friends. He was extemely helpful and went out of his way to help us get our Certificate of Occupancy. During that time we communicated frequently by cell. The project was finished but we both agreed to stay in touch.
This is a shock and I feel like I lost someone close to me. Jill, My heart goes out to you. There is little that can be said at such a time, but know that you can lean on God who will comfort you at this difficult period. My deepest and most sincere Condolences

Mark was the best brother, brother-in-law and uncle one could ever hope to have in their life. He had the heart of gold and gave so much to his friends and family. He loved Jill (his best friend) with unprecedented devotion. Mark was also a devout patriot; first serving in the Navy followed by service to the community (volunteer first responder and fire inspector).

To All of Mark's Family,
My brief working relationship with Mark as a co-worker at the Fire Marshal's office was special. He was thoughtful, helpful and gregarious, even in his last hours we were with him.
My prayers and thoughts are with all you in this uncertain time we all live in. Life is short and precious. Mark left us all with a fondness for his helpfulness and big heart.
September 16, 2009
Mark,
We miss you! We will always remember your zest of life, hearty laugh, & good friendship. We have such great memories with you! Volunteering together at 36, hanging out, working on projects together & you playing the bag pipes in our kitchen. It was great! You touched our lives and will always have a special place in our hearts.

To the family of Mark,
He was a very good inspector, his williness to teach others was wonderful. I do remember him as a big huggable man, who in every professional way was passionate about his job. We miss him in the Fire Marshal's office, we have mourned him since he left us. We look forward to meeting his dear family and celebrating his life, which we were not part of outside of work, but know he was a very special person to all who knew him. I miss him, but know that he is in heaven with no worries.

I have worked with Mark for the last three years at the City of Rancho Mirage, as a Code Compliance Officer. He was one of the kindest gentlemen I knew. I emphasize the word gentlemen, because he was just that and more. Whenever I needed someone to accompany me on an inspection, I could not only rely on Mark to be there, but I genuinely felt protected by his presence. Mark was not only my colleague, but I was also honored to regard him as my friend.
My son Michael was very impressed with Mark the first and only time he met him. I don’t know too many teenagers who can be easily impressed. My son was particularly thankful to Mark for always looking out for his mother. That in itself, is a testimony of the type of person and character Mark possessed. He was big guy with a warm heart. He will be remembered for his generosity and long conversations :-)
We seldom think of what we have, but always think of what we miss. Mark will for forever be missed. My prayers are with his family and friends. May God strengthen you during your time of grief and console you with the presence of His spirit.
Sandra Johnson, and son Michael

I shall miss our many conversations here at Rancho Mirage you were such a wonderful friend who touched my life for such a short while but will remain in my heart for a very long time. I know you are up there with the Lord playing your beautiful bagpipe music now. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.
Love your friend,

I will remember Mark for his generosity and concern for others. Wish I could have heard him play the bagpipes just once. He was instrumental in giving and inquiring on Fernando Aguilar, a City of Rancho Mirage employee who lost his battle to cancer in April 2008. My heart and my prayers are with his family, Jill, and his close friends. God be with you and comfort you during this difficult time.

Dear Naomi and Jeff
Being parents, the hardest thing in life is losing a child. Our deepest sympathy to all of you on your horrific loss.
My very religious sister, who lost 3 children in a auto accident once said to me that when a soul is born, the angels cry because they are losing a soul and humans rejoice because they are gaining a new soul and when a soul dies the angels rejoice because their soul is returning to them while humans cry because they have lost a soul.
May you find comfort in knowing that Mark's soul has returned to the angels and they are rejoicing in having him back.
God bless you in your time of sorrow.

Mark
From the first time we held you in our arms in Dec '64 to the last time we saw you in May of this year, we loved you with all our being. How quickly the years fly! T- ball in Zelienople, middle and high school years in Phoenix and Tucson -- how proud we always were of you. Your skills -- artistic, electronic, drafting,home repair, bagpiping and so many others -- will remain in our memories. Your devotion to family,your exceptional closeness with Grandma Miller and Grandpa Eichel, all of this will sustain us through these impossible days. I will always remember that wintry Pennsylvania day that you, Eric and I were caught in a black ice storm near Beaver Valley Mall and our little Morris Minor was precariously positioned sideways on a road with sheer imbankments on both sides. You said to me, (at age 7), "Mom why can't our car move?" (Your mother was scared to even breathe, let alone drive). You honored your father and I in so many ways, your Navy service, volunteering for the Volunteer Fire Departments, and your last job assuring fire safety in the progressive city of Rancho Mirage. Our family knows that this world is a better place for all the lives you touched. Your generosity and hearty laugh live in our hearts. Until we meet again, dear Mark.
Love
Mom and Dad
