Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Seems like yesterday when you passed and it’s hard to believe it was 20 years ago. I oiled up your HK today with a paint brush dipped in gun oil. You know I’m OCD about my stuff.

Stay cool and keep watching over us.

It’s been a long time since I visited here but that doesn’t mean I love you any less!! I’m struggling to be positive these days since Chad and Vicki move to PA with the granddaughters! I used to see them at least 3-4 times per week if not more often. Bill my brother died in September last year so I’m alone with no family around. I just live here with my cats and Chad’s dogs trying to survive one day at a time, but not succeeding well. I love and miss you so very much the tears never stop! Love you forever!!

Hey sir, from what I can till it's been three years since I lieft a message for you. I'm sorry it has taken so long but I have a daughter and she takes up a lot of my time and if it's not her it's my fiancé Cassy. They're both my heart, my joy, my soul shine, and my everything! They made me feel like you did when you had me and Chad. It had to be the proudest moment for you to be a father/dad. I know it's one of my proudest moment. I'll never walk in your shoes but I have a pair of my own and they fit just fine. I promise to always make you proud of the man that I have become. I love you and I miss you with all my heart! I promise to talk to you in my prayers and always tell you I love you. I'll see you on the other side sir! I love you Mark!

Alan and I talk about you often, sometimes like you were not gone. We both still cry sometimes. It still hurts really bad. I enjoyed working with you, but most of all I enjoyed all of us being friends. You have two beautiful grand daughters now! I can just imagine you playing with them. It's getting late and hard to see the keyboard through the tears. You will never be forgotten.............

Hey old man, lol. I miss you everyday Sir! I've learned over the years you learn to coupe with a loss but you'll never forget the one you loss. sir, you will always beat up Superman in my dreams, b/c he was my childhood hero. You have an always been my hero! I know that I've let you down in the eyes of family, friends, and loved ones. That all stopped a while ago. Sir, I'm beyond Honored to Carry my last Name! It took me years to be the man I am today, but all would have been a loss but for your teachings of life, love, and laughter. Thank you for being my Dad, my friend, and my Hero! Not a day hoes by that I don't wish you were here to whoop my ass to put me back on the right past, but Mark, I've finally found my way. With all the love that I own, I will and always love you! Time for me to be the Man you always knew I would be!

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones today as they reach the 10 year anniversary of losing you. Some people will say that the 10 years has gone by quickly, while those that love you know that it has felt like a lifetime since they felt your warm touch and heard your voice and saw your smile. Continue to keep watch over all of them.

Hey there sir, damn I miss you! I had a dream about you the other day you looked good. Me and Chad are trying like heck to make you and others proud. I can't tell you much but you'll see in the ranks below. Well you already know b/c you look down on us everyday. I can't tell you how hard I've taken your loss over these years, but the hurt will always be there but it gets less every year. But to be honest it sucks for this one week in my life, every year. But I will always smile to pick myself up and get my butt back on track.

I love you Mark, you will always be my HERO!

Hey Mark! Dan and I were talking about you the other day and about how much we miss you. It's hard to believe the amount of time that has passed since you left the physical world, but we know that you are watching the ones that are still here. We think of you often and pray for your family always. Thanks for letting us be part of your life - even if it was for a short while.

Mark,

I think of you often .. I had the privilege of serving with you for 8 years, and you were my training officer on the Warrant Squad. My fondest memory of you was your devious smile and chuckle, along with your low, southern accent as you told a story. You were the epitome of what a law enforcement officer should strive to be.

Thank you for your service, and for being an integral part of my becoming a better officer. I miss you, buddy.

Mark brother just want to tell you I love you miss you man. From our days at Wake SO to our phone calls on your "private" line when you were the US Marshall to our years in the 1990's when you were President and I was Vice President of the Wake County FOP and of course motorcycles, we had a blast. I'll never forget I was just leaving a going away ceremony at Ft. Bragg for a relative shipping to Iraq and on my way back to Greensboro when my cell phone rang with the horrible news. Like everybody I just couldn't believe you were gone, I was crushed and mad at the same time. Anyway brother I know you're watching down on us and I'll see you again when I get there.

Hey there Mark. Just reading some of the reflections of you. I miss those holidays years ago when all the family would get together. Sometimes you and your family, Uncle Dallas and Aunt Jenny, Uncle Melvin, Aunt Ginny, Aunt Cora, mama and daddy.....too many to list!! There are no gatherings like there use to be. Kinda sad. But, there will be one day!! You are gone for no good reason. Thank you for your service. Miss you cousin!!!

Mark,

It's been 8 years and you still live on in my heart and soul. I love you like a brother and you're someone that I have missed more than I can say. The memories of the times we hung out together, worked together and laughed together still live on and no one can take those away. I thank God for letting you be a part of my life. I feel safe knowing you are keeping a watch over us all from above.
