Thanks to all who have messaged me direct. I've had over 50, which is testament to Mark. I usually only ever get messages complaining about stuff but they're all nice ones regarding Mark - I'll reply to all asap. I've spent the day gardening...

Been a worry of mine ever since @Pat's Van stopped posting and i used to wonder what had become of him every time i saw his name. Was good to see him post in here albeit under such circumstance. I've told my Mrs the first people she tells are...

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. – Revelation 21:4

Only just seen this and feel dreadful. Mark was a fine person who brought his own particular even handed style both in terms of his posts and his moderating. He was looking for an apartment for his nephew a year or two back, the lad was starting...

Awful awful news, He was a good guy Mark, sent me some painkillers through the post once asked nothing for them. He was a good part of Messy mascots thread and will be missed hugely. RIP Mark you will be able to see Nikki again mate.

Rotten, rotten news. A lovely fella on the forum. His honesty at his feelings during and after Nikki's illness and passing were an inspiration. Would occasionally chat about things West Country as we were both incomers in a strange land. Very...

….just reading this now, devastating news. I’m genuinely shocked. I built up a friendship with Mark over the years. He advised me on my pension options when I retired and I’d often send him and Nikki Everton gear I get from FF. Even though he...

Genuinely gutted by this. He was a good dude. Funny, level headed, and great at diffusing ugly situations on here. The way he carried himself through his partner's illness was an example to all. I hope he's been reunited with her. How goddamn sad 💙💙

So, so sad. I didn’t know him other than on here but his strength and openness while dealing with Nikki’s illness was inspiring and showed what kind of person he was. And even the much less important things he was always a calm and measured head...

And also to everyone on here too. He meant a hell of a lot to a hell of a lot of people who never met him. Takes a special man to be thought of so highly. We're all family here and we've lost a very special one of our own.

Gutted by this news, so sad. Never met Mark, but feel like I’ve lost a friend. He always came across as a friendly, caring, genuine switched on fella who cared about Everton, evertonians and this place. Some of the finest advice I’ve ever seen...

GUTTED - a sad day for the GOT such a great guy - I posted him plants advised him how to eradicate his bamboo etc - he was always full of gratitude a very approachable moderator - he will be sadly missed - such bad luck in losing his beloved...

RIP mate x

Mark was a great, top notch guy. He had a daughter, and a son who had learning difficulties. He lost his wife Nikki recently, and he’s now joined her - some people die of a broken heart. He loved her dearly. He was a great guy, and we will...

I keep trying to write something then deleting it. Nothing seems right. This doesn't seem right. This doesn't seem real. He was so full of life, wise, funny, smart, caring, loving, brave, all the good things you would list if you were describing...
