Mark,
Thank you for inspiring me at Breathe Festival. You were the base while we were practicing acro yoga and taught me a few neat tricks while balancing. I remember very well how surprised I was to actually feel how strong your legs were at holding me up. It was an inspirational moment for me and I will never forget that. Thanks for being you.

Several weeks ago I spoke with a beautiful young man with piercing blue eyes and an engaging smile. We spoke of travel and my wish to live in Florence Italy for a year. He told me I should definitely do it. When I expressed my reservations he encouraged me. "Be brave" he said. I shall always remember that conversation. It has stayed with me because he "walked the walk". He was brave and had the confidence to be at home no matter where he happened to land. He reminded me of a favorite saying "All who wander are not lost". Continue to be brave,gentle spirit. You have touched many and we are better for it.

I only had the honour to meet Mark once, it was through that one interaction that I was able to completely know and understand his character. He was a true beacon to those around him, and cared just as deeply for strangers as he did people he'd known all along. Blessings and prayers to his family. He will be missed.

I had the privilege to meet and work with Mark on Easter Island. For a short time, we were a family and we stand still. He is leaving an example on how to be in this world that need kind hearted people to thrive. Like a brave soldier, he fell on the battlefield trying to prevent other people to be injured.

There are no words to say how very sorry we are for your tragic loss. We have so many wonderful memories of Mark from the scout troop. We watched him grow into a wonderful, kind, devoted young man who cared about the world. As an Eagle Scout, Mark was a role model in Scouts for Thomas and John.
Mark was the rare person who lived out his beliefs in his work and his generous service to others. This is such a loss to all of us, but especially to his dear family. Our hearts go out to all of you. You are constantly in our prayers.
With love, Mary and Mark
