Mark,
Hard to find the words it was way to early and you were way to young to leave. but now in a better place. So many years i have known you just didn't get to see you often you were always a fun person to be around always joking, looking back through some pictures of several trips to the beach when me and Donna came down you went with us always enjoyed the time being around you will miss that time in the future it just won't be the same without you when we come for a visit but know that you will truely be missed and glad you took the time out to make a trip to N.C. in October..think about you often ,your long time brother-in-law..

Donna and Gaskins Family,You have always made me feel like a part of your family. Last year I had the pleasure of spending time with Mark while vacationing in Florida we had a great time he made me feel so welcome and it saddens me so that he was taken so soon. He will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sudden tragedy, may god bless each and every one of you.

Its so hard knowing I won't see you walk in my back door or drive up on the tractor ever again. We had grown alot closer than we ever had been and it just hurts to know I didn't get to say goodbye. Although I miss you deeply each day, I find comfort in knowing you are in a better place now with God. Until I see you again (and I know in my heart I will) I hold onto the memories we shared and made with each other. I love you and will never forget you.
Your sister,
Big'en

Dear Baby Brother,
I am so glad I got to see you at Thanksgiving but my heart breaks that I will never be able to talk to you or see you, but I know in my heart that I will see you and Momma again.
I think GOD needed another angel so he picked you and that makes it easier for me knowing that you are with our Savior GOD ALMIGHTY.
You are very much missed by everyone and touched alot of lives the short time you were here.
You were always my baby, I can still remember holding you in my arms and rocking you to sleep. I hate I didn't get to spend alot of time with you in our adult years but I have many wonderful memories of you and they will be in my heart always.
You are now in a place where there is no more pain, tears, sorrow or suffering. Now you will see JESUS face to face.
By the way the Gators won for you and I am a Gators fan just for you!
Forever and always your loving sister.

Donna and Family: I am very sorry for the loss of your family member, I did not know Mark but the sadness I see in Donna makes me very sad. I know how much her family means to her. She loves each and every one of them. Marks death was hard for her, but knowing they will be together again soon I think helps her deal with it. Death is never easy but we will all have to go through it. Knowing we will be together again makes it easier, I think.

May God grant you all peace and understanding. I am so sorry for your loss. Too soon he left this world but remember God had other plans for him. He is just a whisper away and he is with your mom now. Take comfort in all the wonderful memories you share. I have never lost a sibling but I can only imagine your pain... may God just wrap his arms around each of you and heal your broken hearts. I love you and I will be thinking and praying for you.

I just found out about Mark today and was shocked and saddened. Just yesterday, I was organizing old photos, and came across pictures of Mark at a party. He was such a funny guy and I have great memories of him. I'm praying the Lorid will help you find peace.

To My Youngest Brother Mark,
You were the greatest brother any one could have. Mom will be so happy to see you in heaven. Just so glad we got to spend last Saturday together. We went to see mom, went to the flea market and then went out to dinner. We will see one another again watch over us. I love you and always have. I will miss you so much. I look forward to the day we will all be together again.
Love you!

My wishes for Mark's family is that their wonderful memories will help heal the sorrow they are enduring at this time. Mark and I shared many fun times in junior and senior high, then carried over to Drew Park thru our lives. I am deeply saddened by his leaving us so soon, but find comfort in knowing we all have "Big Daddy" in heaven watching over us. You touched my life and I'll miss you my friend!!
