Thanks for the reminder of Mark's passing.
I cherish many memories of Cousin Mark and his sisters & brother and parents as I was growing up.
Even though several years have passed, Mark is still missed by many.

Thanks for the opportunity to send a tribute for Mark. I am one of Mark's older Iowa cousins. Therefore most of my memories of Mark are as a child. He was an adorable, curious little boy. I feel blessed to have had the gift to know him.

No words can describe the pain in your hearts. I will always remember Mark, as a handsome, BRILLIANT, and talented older brother of my bestfriend. The brother that always was a peacemaker. The brother that LOVED so deeply. I will always remember Mark Fleshner as someone who really had a mind for things beyond this world. I beleive Mark is up with our precious LORD, making a way in the new KINGDOM. The LORD needed that BRILLIANT mind to do things up there, that we can't even imagine down here. Mark, will be missed,...but the JOY comes in knowing that GOD let us have him for the time that we did. Gudrun, Leonard, Eric, Chris, Moni and Vanessa Kara and baby Gudrun,,,remember that GOD is ultimately in control...and that we are just visiting this earth, our real home is with Jesus. Mark, is home now, and his memeories will see you through until the day, we can rejoice together with the angels. Prayers are going up...blessings and love,,..sincerely, Lisa Rickwa-Miller Sioux City, Ia.

At a time like this, no words I write will erase the pain you feel. I sometimes wonder why God takes our loved ones but he knows best. Mark was my nephew and a wonderful boy. We will all miss him.

Dear Len, Gudrun & Family:
We are really shocked to hear of the untimely death of Mark. We never know when it is our turn. Mark was always a go-getter & hard to imagine his passing. We must accept it as God's way. This is hard for the immediate family to accept. It breaks you up. Try as best you can, and accept our sympathy as best you can.
Our love to all of you.

I am so fortunate to have known Mark his entire life. His passing is a great loss to his family and all who had the priviledge of having Mark in their lives. Years ago Uncle Leonard introduce us to his new bride -Gudrun. This was a truly beautiful beginning of an incredibly loving, supportive, spiritual and fun-loving family. A family all aspire to have. Please accept my sincere sympathy and prayers for all who greive the loss of Mark. God now has an angel to help us thru our current pain and our lives forever.

To Mark's Family & Friends,
Mark is my first cousin. He is also my friend. Growing up I spent many hours playing with him and his brothers & sisters. He and his family are a big part of the happiest of my childhood memories. I know how badly he will be missed. I have not met Kara and little Gudrun. If I could I would give you both a hug and tell you how much Mark meant to me. To my Uncle Len, Aunt Gudrun, Eric, Chris, Moni, Vanessa and the rest of Mark's family, I wish to express my deepest regrets for your loss. Love to all, Jerry Fleshner

My husband Jim heard about Mark's accident just last evening. They hadn't spoken in awhile - Jim had never stopped thinking or of speaking of Mark. Such is the impact special people have. Jim was hurt to realize he'd missed Mark's service. He didn't sleep much last evening - that I do know, and today he drove down Gum Springs Rd and sat for awhile to think about Mark.
We are proud to have had the privilege of knowing Mark. You have our very deepest sympathies.

I knew Mark in High School and College in Sioux City, IA. Mark was a friend, and an amazing jazz guitar player! When Mark transferred to Iowa State I lost contact, but never forgot him. I had always hoped to be in touch again someday. I'm sorry I won't get the chance. My sincere condolensces to his family and family of friends. May Mark rest in peace.
