"Holy moly. How do we go on without you? How is there life without you?! If you only knew how very loved you were & by so many, would it change the final outcome?! You are everything. Beautiful, wonderful, joyful, everything. Wrapping my arms around you & wishing somehow I could change what you thought that was so wrong. I just know you were not in your right mind. How could you not know just how loved you were…& by so many. love you so immensely, MDJ. We all do. I would do anything to bring you back. This is the biggest & largest void. Don’t you know you are everything?! "

"In High School, 1998, Mark sat behind me in Algebra. He didn’t always show up to class, haha, but, when he did, he'd sometimes ask me to borrow a pencil. I’d give him one whenever he asked. He’d always make me (and the whole class, and teacher) laugh, and would loosen up the whole room. He’d stick the pencil behind his ear, and walk with it there for a few more classes, and later in the day, when he’d walk passed each other in the hallway, he’d always hand the pencil back to me and say, “here you go, thanks, bro.” RIP, Marky, and, you’re welcome for the pencil.

I will miss that raspy laugh, your ability to turn any single word or phrase into a song lyric, or movie quote, teasing Nikola, beach walks - but mostly your love for us, you were a part of our little family and we will miss you beyond measurement.

"I just found out, I was hoping this wasn't true. Marky you had the biggest HEART. You cared more how others were feeling rather than yourself. Marky was the guy you could talk to about anything. if you were down about something, you could count on Marky to check in w/ you, or tell you to crash at his place and play vids. I will never forget your Marky. I love you. -Randy"
