Mark touched souls everywhere he was, Made great friends and loved to help others. Ive only knew him a short time but he was well liked by many. Gone too soon, but his memories will last forever with the ones he touched in the past.

I so happy you have found some relief with the messages shared here. I was a good friend of Mark's, our photo is posted here. We met up last August when I was in Chicago. Mark loved, loved going out and taking pictures to share with all of us on All Deaf. We were suppose to meet up this August and I am very sad that he won't be there. Have you had a chance to read some of his posts or looked at his beautiful picutres he posted on Alldeaf. I too have lost a son, it is the most difficult thing a mother has to go through. If you would like to talk to me about Mark, please email me. The members on Alldeaf really liked him a lot. God Bless and rest in eternal peace Mark. Thank you for letting me share.

The best way to see all of Mark's posts/pictures is to log on to Alldeaf.com
You can log on as a guest or as a member. After you have done that you can search for all posts made by ChicagoBlue, that was his user name on Alldeaf. He posted a lot so it will take time to read through his posts.......but so worth it. Once again, I'm so very sorry for your loss. You can always email me and I will do my best to help. Please know that Mark had a lot of friends on Alldeaf. I hope things are going well for you and the family.

I will lend you, for a little time,
A child of mine, He said.
For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief.
You'll have his lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over,
In search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain.
Nor hate me when I come
To take him home again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done!'
For all the joys Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we've planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

God must have needed a good photographer. He is getting one, from Chicago. I'll meet you someday, when my number is called.

So sorry to hear about Mark's passing. He had troubles with power (electric) at one of his previous residences so I bought and mailed him several flashlights. I heard from him that they were a great help. It wasn't much, but I'm happy to know I helped a little. He clearly touched many people. I wish for nothing but solace and comfort for his family.

I first met Mark in 2005. I was blessed to reconnect via AllDeaf forum in 2013. We lived very close to each other. We would get together 2 times a month. He would introduce me to new restaurants in Chicago area.
We were also text buddies. He would text me and let me know when severe weather warning was coming up.
We talked about Cubs/Cardinals rivalry.
Thank for being my friend.

In his heart a man or woman plans his course in life. But, GOD determines his footsteps in this journey. Someone so special in our lives will never be forgotten, The happy and sad memories we shared with our loved one are the greatest legacy GOD can give to us. To all who knew and loved Mark, sense the presence of the Lord in your heart as you travel through this valley. May his peace, mercy and grace be with each of you.

Words cannot fully convey our shock and sorrow when we heard about Mark's death. We are praying for the comfort and strength of our Lord for his family.
Mark was a sweet man who overcame some life-long challenges. He enjoyed helping others with their computer and technology problems. He was an accomplished and prolific photographer of the Chicago scene. Day or night, good weather and bad, he documented everything with his camera. He took pleasure in sharing "good news" stories about animals.
Mark daily took on new opportunities to spread his wings, often via his bicycle or Chicago's public transportation. He loved the trains.
He truly loved his adopted Windy City, and he could tell you EVERYTHING about it, especially the landmarks. He was always searching out a new perspective of his beloved city.
We miss you Mark. Thank you for the life lessons that you taught us.
