Such a terrible shock to us all. I grew up with Mark, I went right through Pleasant Point Primary and Pleasant Point High School with him.

Sending love to Trudi who I remember fondly and all the family and especially Mark's 2 boys at this time. Rest in peace and love Mark.

Please accept my sincere apologies that I could not be there on Thursday last week.

I hope I'll see you soon Trudi. Please take care of yourselves and get all the help and support you need at this very sad time x

Dear Yvonne, Jack and Ben, I am so utterly sad about the news of Mark's passing. Over the 10 years I have worked with him I got to know him better every year. He was such a friendly, kind person, who loved his family very much and often spoke about you. I hope the love of your family will carry you through this very difficult and sad time.

I first met Mark in 2007. I was swept along in his energy, warmth and enthusiasm from the first meeting. Me and my family are indebted to him for everything we have achieved and enjoyed in our lives today. My gratitude is only matched by my sadness that I am unable to tell him this personally. R.I.P
