In high school i was lost
never quite found a path for myself and was always impressed at how well you fit into the BMX lifestlye.
a lifetstyle i always admired. I heard today, after being away for a long period, about what happened.
Know you are forever loved, in my heart always.
we grew up together and i can say that for any one that stood beside me in elemtary school, you were all my brothers, you will always have my heart.
i hope to one day see you again.
rest eternally, until we meet agian,

So it's almost Christmas and this will be our first Christmas without you. I can't believe I missed our last Christmas together but I was at my in-laws' when you played White Elephant at my mom's house for the last time. You guys got crazy in the backyard with Jean's pogo stick and I'm sure at some point chanted "People in a jar!!" I think about Mark every day and I just hope that he remains in everyone's thoughts and prayers because he was a very special person to everyone he met. Sometimes I wanted to punch him in the face but that's what cousins are for right?
I miss him and I don't think I'll ever stop missing him.

There is something about writing to you that makes me feel better, im not sure if part of me believes that one day you will read this or if the act of thinking and typing keeps me from crying for a few minutes sometimes. its been months and sometimes i will just drive home and think about a time when i...or see a guy on a bike and think of that time we... out in the desert. thats just it when you do so many things in your life and have so many fond memories with one particular person......its not like i try to think about it or anything it just happens. today i remembered probably one of the fondest memories i have of you. the night you broke my hand, when we crashed our motorcycles riding with flashlights I was mad at you for some time for having to wear that cast for six weeks, but today it made me smile so big .........................and then it made me cry. i will remember that night and the conversation we had for the rest of my life, it was that night in the middle of the desert i remember thinking how proud i was that you are my friend i was proud to know you as a person and even better as a human being, the most i believe we can strive for. you were the best freind i have ever had and maybe ever will and i miss you buddy, just know you will never be forgotten. if you get to listen to music up there listen to the song "swing life away" by Rise Against this song makes me think of you it brings me fond memeories. rest in peace D.

It was my birthday yesterday which means yours is coming up. It was fun, went for a bike ride, crashed, but thats nothing your not used to huh. I miss you, but the pain is beggining to subside. I got your name inked on my arm yesterday because you changed my life forever and i will never forget you. I stand in my bike shop and i wonder if you can see me living out my dream. I like to believe you can see me, i imagine you bringing your bike through the frontdoor one day to share those dreams with me, those are good days. I have forgiven you mark and i will love you forever. I miss you and so does everyone else but i know you are home in gods arms right where you need to be.

It was not until weeks after could i shed a tear for you Mark...I miss my best friend......I miss you, sometimes too much.......But the rides will still be ridden, the trails will forever call all of our souls there, we will return and our children will return and your soul will live there forever...

Yesterday Robert put the Doo Da on my car. It makes me feel better thinking of all the people doing the same. I do hope that others stop and wave. I'll pretend it's you waving. I'll be reminded that everywhere there are these little connections. Only after your death did I discover that your mom went to school with my sister; that your grandma and my mom are friends. It is such a small world; there are so many praying for you. I can't stop. I always buy a book "in memory of" and donate it to our school library when someone passes. I found one on snowboarding. It's by Matt Christopher, a guy who writes sports fiction I think mostly for little boys. That will be there for other little boys to remember a little boy who may have liked the book, too. You were such a cute little boy when looking at the pictures in your family home. God loves all his little boys, Mark. And so do we. Love always with tons of prayers always...Monica (and her little girls, too---we will teach them to remember you! )

After reading these touching comments to you and talking with people about your life, there is a common perception of you that everybody seems to hold: Fun, Loving, Charismatic, Admired, Caring, Benevolent... the list is endless.
This is exactly how I remember you as well.
Although it has been several years since we hung out, you were a part of my best memories from high school. From camping at the beach, to hanging out on Highridge at Tony’s and Ryan’s, we shared some great times.
We all hold our wonderful memories of you to heart and they will be forever cherished.
Your unforgettable smile and contagious laugh will always be remembered by all.
Your kindhearted nature and your ability to make others around you happy is a true gift.
We all thank you for touching our lives.
You were an extraordinary individual and you will be missed indefinitely.
I send my sincere condolences to Mark’s family.
We are all with you.

If there's dirt bikes in higher places, enjoy your daily ride with your dad. From the days of playing 2nd base on my little league team, to the day rides at the track, to the weekends in the desert, to the freezing cold night rides at Kennedy Meadows; thank you for the wonderful memories. "Fun-loving" is the first adjective that comes to mind when of I think of you Mark. Who else could throw a peace sign riding a wheelie down La Crescenta Avenue (one-handed of course) on a mountain bike with that Doo Dah grin we have all come to love. So, in that higher place, continue spreading the love and laughter that you blessed us with here.
Ride on,

Marky...I'm not sure what to say other than thank you for all the awesome memories you have left me with - the kind that make you start laughing out of no where just thinking about them. There is no memory of you I can recall that doesn't make me smile. You were just that kind of person. One of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. I just hope deep down inside you knew how important you were to so many of us, and the care and laughter you brought to our lives. Talking with everyone in the last week and sharing stories has solidified that you made an amazing impact while you were here. So many people have said the same things - how caring you were, how you picked people up from the ground - both mentally and literally - and how you spread laughter to each and every one of us. The RBC won't be the same without you, but I feel so lucky that you were apart of it and that we have made memories and a family out of it that will last a lifetime. I can still hear your truck driving down Highridge and how we always knew you were coming from a mile away, how you coined the phrase "Hide", how you showed up for every birthday me and my brothers had since we were in elementary school, and endless fun times in the B. Thost are the type of things I wil remember you for. I know you'll be with your Dad up there, and take care of Johnny for us, too. I will miss you and I will never forget you Marky.

Let me run down the impact you had on me throughout my life. You were one of the first people to be my friends when I went to a big public school for the first time and it was really scary. You sometimes hung out at the sidelines at parties and thats where I usually was, You ALWAYS paid an interest into what was going on in my life. We could seriously talk about motorclycles for hours, to the annoyance of everyone else around. We never got to ride either because Ive had my liscence suspended here and there( something I will ALWAYS regret becuase cruising together is one of the greatest bonds between the male species other than in warfare). You saved me and Brians ass when we where stuck out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night off-roading in god knows where. Youve been in my recordings and in jam sessions, in a band. You broke a piece of my glassware (in which you promplty replaced). We practiced scuba'ing in my gammys pool. You were the only other person to have an old Ford as well in highschool. I just wish I could have said good bye. The last time I saw you was in January when you were outside the house you were working on with dave up Briggs. I said " yeah we should all hang out" I just wish I would have came down for one more beer. To be honest I have to pretend that you died on your motorcycle to bear the pain, in time I will come to grips with the horror and reality of what happened. I'm sorry that you felt that there was no hope ever. I hope you and Porch ( inside joke) get to hang out. I hope your doing 'da bears' with Chris Farley and getting 'Sassy" with Phil Hartman.

I took a look at his picture, and I could hear him laugh; I smiled... we need good people in the world. Mark was, by all means, one of them.

Mark,
We grew up together and were always good friends through our school years. You were always looked up to, especially when you were riding BMX or your dirt bike. You always had the feel for anything with two wheels and will always be the wheelie king. Your memories will never be lost or forgotten and always know you had a friend to turn to if you ever needed anything. You always went out of your way for others and that really stood out in you. We all miss you so much already and know where you are now is a much more peaceful place. We will all see you again one day bud and will be thinking of you until then. sad

I had nothing but great memories with you old pal and I'll never forget you my whole life. I wish I could take back the hands of time and be there for you, whatever there was I could have done. You've made a great impact on my life and I know onto many others' as well. You were always such a good friend to me, someone I always wanted to be around. Makes me smile to think about the great times we had together in high school . Life will be hard not having you around my buddy. I hope that where ever you are, you are in peace.
