To Mark,
It has been an honor to have known you for the past 8 years. You were such a joyful, vibrant soul, always full of life, always inspiring. I truly admired your drive. Thank you for being such an incredible support system during my pregnancy, and for the best maturity photograph capturing one of the most special moments of my life through your lens. You gave me the courage to take a leap of faith and migrate, and I’ll always carry that part of you with me.
Your strength in facing your illness was unmatched. Even through it all, you still made time to travel home, play mas, and live fully. That spirit of yours bold, bright, and beautiful will never be forgotten.
I love you, Mark. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

Thank you so much, Mark, for being such a phenomenal person — inside and out. You were one of the greatest friends I’ve ever had and truly one of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing.
Despite the many adversities you faced, you always kept a positive attitude and a sunny disposition. Thank you for being strong, courageous, and determined. Sometimes, you'd tell me about a new goal or idea, and before I knew it — it was done, just like magic. I really do believe you were magical.
Thank you for being so thoughtful and caring. I’ll treasure every single gift you gave me — and there were quite a few, because you were always so generous. I couldn’t believe it when you tried to order me something from Amazon while you were in a hospital bed. That’s just who you were — selfless, even when you were the one going through so much.
I’ll miss your cooking, your laughter, your heart. Thank you for giving me some of your mom’s marinade — it was amazing.
I always appreciated how authentic and honest you were. I could tell you anything and never felt judged. You held me accountable, and you helped me become more confident — like you.
You taught me to live fully and to appreciate every moment. It’s surreal to be crying now, because you were the one who always brought so much joy to everyone around you. That’s what makes this hurt so deeply — but it’s also what makes your memory so powerful.
I feel lucky — truly lucky — to have experienced such a genuine soul. You curated a beautiful life, and you will forever be remembered, celebrated, and missed.
I love you more than I can put into words. I pray you're at peace now. I know Heaven gained a beautiful angel.

My heart is heavy with sorrow for you, my dear friend P, as you face the unimaginable loss of your brother. No words can fully ease the pain of such a deep and personal grief, but I want you to know that I am here — now and always.
You have always shown such quiet strength and grace, and in this time of heartache, I hope you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone. I am standing beside you, holding space for your sorrow, your memories, and your healing. Whatever you need — a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen, or simply silence — I will be there.
To you and your family, I pray that with each passing day, time will bring a little more peace, and that your hearts will begin to mend gently, touched by love, memories, and the support of those who care for you deeply.
You are loved. You are not alone. And I will walk with you through this, for as long as you need.
With all my love,
Shadz...

Mark and Mommy would talk on the phone for hours about life, memories, and everything in between. Even when Mark and I grew distant, simply because life got busy, he never let go of his bond with my mom. He was like another son to her. That connection no one could ever get in between and I truly admired it. And as much as I miss my mother every day, I’m grateful she isn’t here to witness this because losing Mark would have truly broken her heart.
I always admired Mark’s determination. He was incredibly driven—he worked hard for everything he had and never asked for handouts. I remember when he started his small business selling bags and accessories wholesale. I don’t know where he found the time or patience, but he did it and he made it work. To see him build something successful at such a young age was nothing short of inspiring.
I won’t question God, because He knows best… but I won’t pretend this doesn’t hurt. It hurts deeply.
Mark, you were loved in life, and you are loved just as much in your absence. Your strength, your drive, your laugh, your loyalty—all of that lives on in us. You left your MARK on the world (pun intended), and we will carry it with us, always.
Rest easy, cousin.

A Tribute to My Beloved Friend, Mark
There are some people who step into your life and change everything Mark, you were that gift from God to me.
At a time when I felt lost, when the weight of life pressed heavily on my shoulders, you became my light. Your kindness, your laughter, and your unwavering love pulled me out of my deepest pain and reminded me that joy still existed. You didn’t just walk beside me you carried me when I couldn’t move forward.
You were my best friend, my only friend, you were truly a blessing .
Though your presence is now beyond what eyes can see, I feel you in spirit and in every peaceful moment that finds me.
Thank you, Mark for everything. I will hold your memory close, and your legacy will live on through the love you planted in our heart.
