- A Gentle Giant in Heaven

~~**~~God figured there was too much virgin skin that needed color so he called Mark Home~~**~~Im sure all who read this site have their own rendition of their relationship with Mark. Not to mention the good times and the bad times with him. One thing remains true,Mark touched alot of people with his love and his ink. As my other half put it to me I lost my hero that day because he was truely a hero in my eyes...but the more i sat and thought bout it i didnt lose my hero I recieved my Guardian Angel. All who know Mark and have had the pleasure to be touched by this man will have a Guardian angel now. Heres my lil story of my relationship with Mark...A Year ago I met a man who has touched my life forever. The day I walked in his shop I will never forget. Here come this big man round the corner, kinda  skeery @ first with his big tattoo of an eagle on his throat. Well as the more time i spent with him i saw a man i have so much respect for. Mark and i became very close...like a brother does a sister. Somedays we argued like that too. July 30 I got a call that Mark had been hurt and i needed to pray for him .Mark passed away July 31st . God truely recieved an angel that Day .He took Mark too soon from us all but he must of needed a special angel .Marks  motto " IM TATTOOING THE WORLD ONE DAY @ A TIME..Now all the angels in heaven will get a tattoo.~~**~~Loved you like a brother...Remembering you as the man you are~~**~~ As Heidi so put it at Mark's Funeral. There was 3 things this man stood for ...1)Honesty...2)Integrity...3)Acceptance...If one thing I did learn from this gentle giant is live with theses things in your heart.They will remain true . We miss you Mark and love you very much . Special Thoughts go out to Heidi ,Simone and all of Mark and Heidi's famlies. {March 27/66-July 31/06}
