Mark's apartment had millions of stories; BBQ's on the deck, late night talks in the kitchen, snow filled streets and only a few blocks from Rainbow Room. However, the best part of his apartment was the fact it was always filled with love. Mark was an incredible man. He had a spirit of joy that always filled the room and reflected in the hearts of those around him. Eventually Mark and I ended up at Color Works Lofts where I lived across the hall from him. We shared many dinners, construction ideas, drinks and visions together. Nights were spent shooting pool with a gaggle of friends at Lincoln Bowl, or watching TJ perform one of his plays or eating tacos at Topolobambo.
Mark walked a different path than most. He bought a tiny BMW bike to ride to the south. I shook my head but gave him the thumbs up. On a trip up to Wisconsin he spent the good part of an hour belting out unintelligible words to popular songs. Again, I looked at him and gave him thumbs up. Mark continued to be unique individual as reflected in his life.
I moved away from Chicago and lost touch with a friend that has always held a special place in my heart. I know the time we spent together going through our 30's will live in the stories of many, especially your viejo amigo. Buen viaje hermano.

Life gave me three opportunities to meet with Mark, twice in his loft in Chicago and once in Miami, and I will never forget his beauty of soul and sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with Mark's entire family during this time of sorrow and loss.

Oh - my heart is filled with sadness and joy all at once. Sadness because I can’t imagine the grief you are coping with and joy that Mark at peace now. You and Mark were on my mind and heart heavily this week and now I know why.
May our loving lord hold you and comfort you now and in the days ahead. Please reach out if you need anything at all. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Terry-I have had you and Mark and your family in my prayers! I know it sounds so cliche, but he is at peace and without pain, now. It is those that mourn now that are in their own kind of pain. You have many friends and family to lean on now. I continue to pray and think of you! Love, Sue Lindsley
