mark's wife, caline, wrote on another prostate cancer forum that mark died this morning at 4am UK time. she wanted me to let you know. he was so young...diagnosed at only 43 w/aggressive disease.
as you know, he fought hard. she said it was the tumor in his bones and subsequently his bone marrow that ultimately killed him. in her words, "I couldn't have asked for a more loving husband and tender father to our two daughters."
please show her some love here, and i will forward to her directly. so heartbroken for their entire family. so deeply unfair.
Certainly he was brave and optimistic. His posts were to contribute not to complain. His family and friends have surely been fortunate to have met him. My best wishes to them.
Caline, my heart goes out to you. Only 43! At 43, I felt my life was just beginning - how unfair to lose it at such a young age. You and your daughters were robbed! I hope they will in some measure fulfill Mark's promise and become his legacy.
My sincerest heartfelt condolences go out to Caline on the passing of her beloved husband Mark. It’s so sad to hear of another brother passing and so young as well.
Such sad news. Hoping that the family's memories of Mark bring a smile to their faces and warm their hearts. He will be with them always if the memories live on.
So sorry, I took a minute to review his posts and replies. So young and fought the beast the whole time from dx. Best wishes to the family may you all find peace.
We stand beside you in silence, Caline, as we mourn the loss of your beloved husband. May you and the girls experience the peace that passes all understanding as you honor Mark’s passing.
Thank you for your kindness Summer. I’m with my wife’s family now grieving the loss of her “ sweet mom” Shuku. My friend Senor cujoe sent me this quote and I can’t help but to pass it on to all .. “To live in hearts we leave behind , Is not to die.” from hallowed ground ,a poem by Thomas Campbell (1777-1844) ....Peace 💔
I find it most sad when someone so young succumbs, especially with children. I think the response to "No one said that life is fair." is no one said life would be this cruel either. Sometimes, it does seem that it is.
I can only feel that we always find a way to keep living and I pray that Caline, and her daughters find their way past their grief to higher ground and a happier life to enjoy every moment to its greatest.
We will all be thinking of you and sending all our good wishes for you and your family.
I do not know what to say... words are too small to express how I feel... being 45 myself at diagnosis 9 months ago, fighting this, have small kids etc.... this really hurts and breaks my heart... devestating 😥😥😥 much of love to his wife and daughters ❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss. Breaks my heart. I can tell you one thing. I lost my dad when he was 43 and I was 15 so I know first hand the pain. I can tell you though that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just takes a while to get there. We will pray for you and your family.
Such awful, awful news Caline. I have been reading recently about the awesome courage of the Brits in the SOE during the Nazi occupation of France. While Mark's repulsive disease was as cruel as the Nazis, Mark, you and your daughters have the same courage as those earlier countrymen and women. In some minuscule way, I hope it helps to know that your family has the love and prayers of our extended community. God bless all of you.
In the very short time I corresponding with Mark I felt close to him and our shared disease. We both were diagnosed at 43 with metastatic disease but his was much more extensive. I was privately messaging him regularly to see how he was doing and the replies stopped. My fears seemed to be realized. I’m sorry my fiend that my crazy idea of coming to Cambridge to just provide human support could not come to pass. I will continue these trials for you and hopefully somewhere down the line someone will benefit from your sacrifice. Not sure if you were a religious or spiritual man but no suffering now brother. Heart felt sympathies to Mark’s wife and kids. Screw you cancer...
Caline, my wife and I extend our condolences in the loss of your beloved Mark, a warrior brother. Praying for you and your daughter’s peace and comfort knowing that his suffering is no more, and may the memories in your heart carry you through this difficult time.
Mark at 46 years old was too young of a man to be called as a special servant of God. But God must love him dearly to take him away from us so soon. May you and your young daughters always remember him as a special person who loves you all for eternity. God Bless you all and please remember us.
My deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for you and your children and no words of mine will lessen the pain you must be suffering. But time and memories you hold of Mark will provide the healing and bring happiness and light back into your life.
