To the Gates/McKeon family- my heart goes out to you. My deepest most sincere apologies. I love you guys. Mark was always so positive and gave the best hugs whenever I saw him, and I’ll never forget that smile and the super enthusiastic ‘Hey Lindie! What’s going on?’ I received every time I saw him. He’s left a big hole in our hearts but will live on through the memories. Rest easy now, Mark.

I felt like i knew Mark before i ever met him. His Uncle Michael always liked to mention his nephew, to me. Everything he told me was accurate. What stood out to me was the warmth Mark brought to a crowded room the moment he entered it. He had this giant smile and a huge hug to give and only after meeting him twice, i knew i could count on him for those beautiful gifts each time i would see him. He will always be remembered with love!
Please accept my condolences. May Mark Rest in Peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family!
Sincerely,
Dana Simon

Rachael, I'm so sorry your brother was taken away from you. He was too young and you and your beautiful children have been robbed.

My heart aches for you and I hope your heartache heals.

With love, Maureen and Paul
