moabman Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I was so saddened when I read this last night. There are no words that can adequately express my sorrow and gratitude for his sacrifice. I pray that we never forget and that we always strive to be worthy. May light eternal shine upon Mark and all of our fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I wish I had the honour to have met him and shook his hand to tell him thank you. So thank you, Mark, thank you for your time, your duty, and your life, it was not in vain. You will be missed but you will not be forgotten.

Spring Lil Cobra Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Tragic news Rob. I love the idea of putting his car in the middle of the ring of Shelby's. He can look down and see us all as we honor him and his auto. SLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhighsd Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I know Mark hung out a bit over on the GT500 forum of svtperformance.com.

ngnear Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Rest in Peace Mark...you have served your country well. My condolences to Barbie and her (and Mark's) daughter. This was shocking when I read it. This forum truely has that family feeling even though I don't post much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8sgt441 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 That's a great idea. Mark has many local Shelby friends that he would meet up with and cruise with. Many of them have not seen this thread as of yet. lets see if someone local to Marks home town chimes in. If anyone wants to send a card or blessings to Marks wife Barbie.....here's the address: Barbie Coleman 15029 Lindsay Rd SE Yelm WA 98597 PS It sounds like the service will be this week end in Goldendale , then a memorual service at Fort Lewis. I will post the details when I get them on the time and address. correction lindsay lp se ( lp= loop) he has a son who in the service too 19 yr I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh8SnakeDriver Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 It is because of men and women like Mark who stand between us and evil, that we are able to sleep in peace at night. Although I never had the privilege to meet Mark, I felt that I knew him through this Forum. My prayers and best wishes to his family. He will be missed. Mark God bless you and God speed.

DubbsFaris Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am FULLY on board with setting up a collection for them. I dont think I ever met Mark face to face, but we have crossed posts here many times, and our group lost an important assett, an enthusiast, a guardian of everything we hold dear, and an oustanding American! My thoughts and prayers go out to Barbie and the kids, and I hope we can honor his memory within our daily lives in our own ways. Maybe we can have somebody make up a small decal we can all put on our windshields for the rest of this year, and dedicate all TS events to rememberance of him for this year as well. Goodbye my friend. God Speed, and God Bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raycutchins Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 A Soldier's Prayer... The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass... He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?" The soldier squared his shoulders and Said,"No, Lord, I guess I ain't... Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough, And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough. But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep, And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear, And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here... They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand, I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand." There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod... As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God, "Step forward now you soldier, Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell." Dedicated To All That Serve... God Bless America! RIP brother in arms......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
