Ann,
Although I have never met you or Mark I feel that through Eddie I have known you both for quite some time. I know that both of you were and are full of life and lived it to the fullest. I kept up with Mark, not just through Eddie, but thru his writings that Eddie would always forward to me. My prayers have been with you and Mark since you first learned of his illness and will continue for you and your family during these most difficult times.

Ann and Family,

I am a colleague of Mark's from the nothern Pennsylavania. Mark and I worked together mostly on trade shows and I greatly appreciated his taking the lead at OTC in Houston so I could spend the prior weekend at family reunions. He always showed a deep feeling for family and thought my attending a family reunion was time better spent than setting up a trade show. He was a great colleague and a wonderful guy to work with. My deepest sympathies are with you all. I will continue to treasure my memories and experiences of working with Mark.

To all of Marks family,

I was introduced to Mark in May of 2014 when I started working with him in the BD group at Ellwood. Since I work remotely from Milwaukee my only contact with him was during conference calls, until the Christmas party in Houston last December when we finally met in person. He did not disappoint! True to the outgoing personality I experienced during our calls, Mark spent the majority of the night entertaining us with his Karaoke talents.

We met in person several more times after that and I grew to know him as a man who loved his family, cherished his friends and always had the most optimistic outlook possible. I read the updates he sent out with tears in my eyes and amazement that through this devastating time he still maintained a positive attitude and gave strength to his family.

He is an amazing man and I feel truly blessed to have met him and been touched by his life.

Sincerely,
Dave

I would like to extend my warm condolences to the Kelley Family. Please find comfort in reading what Jehovah God has promised us at Acts 24:15 "that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." You will see your loved one again.

Ann,
No words can express our sorrow for your loss.

We always took great joy when we go work out in the mornings at 5.00 AM to go swim, ride bikes, run, or go to work to see Mark coming back from his run already completed by 5:00 AM! We always thought to ourselves, now that is dedication and discipline. I assume he was that way with his friends and family also.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything you need, just ask.

To Mark's family
Just found out about Mark this morning. I am indeed saddened by the news. Mark and I started off with a "supplier-customer" relationship when he frequent Singapore, and that relationship continue to grow in the 20 years plus of working together. A great person to work with and a good friend.
A sad time for us all.
Take care.

So sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I was looking for Shawn online and found the notice. I grew up around the block and we're very close a lot of those childhood years. We lost touch after I married and moved out of state. Condolences to the family. RIP Mark
