There are not enough superlatives to describe the man that Mark was. Suffice to say he was outstanding as a Boss and a friend. He continues and always will, to be dearly missed, not just by me but by everybody who ever had the good fortune to make his acquaintance. The world is a much emptier place without you Mark,

My dear friend, I was there to say good bye until we meet again to share stories and have a good laugh. I have learned that for as many times that you would call me a LOOSER and I would get a bit miffed I finally realized this week that I am a looser because I have lost you as a friend. R.I.P. Mark. Love you.Lalli

"My sincerest condolences to all of the family and friends of Mark, especially his brothers Brian and Paul. I had only met Mark a few times, and he was always a gentleman. May he be remembered by all of you experiencing the loss of his presence, by looking inward, and holding on tightly to your precious memories as he rests in peace." ... Sincerely, Cheri @ UKAVETS

~When he shall die take him and cut him out into the stars and he shall make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.~ ....Shakespeare
Although he will be tremendously missed by all who knew and loved him, he is now in a heavenly place we cannot even begin to imagine, we can only dream of. May Mark be welcomed into heaven by God's choirs of angels.
Our deepest sympathies to all of Mark's family.
May God make our tears a pillow for Mark's head to lie on.

If a man is measured by the love and respect he earned from his family and friends, then, although too short, his life was immeasurable. He affected many with his beyond generous nature, his bigger than most personality, and his kind words and actions to all. He will be missed. May God bless him and the whole McAfee family.
