Dear Bronwyn, Archer and Maxwell
I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I really enjoyed the chats with Mark on the basketball court, or watching the boys perform their musical talents. He always had a wisecrack or observations that had me laughing. Mr Collins and I enjoyed questioning his choice of clothing and his desire to tuck his pants into his cowboy boots. What a wonderful husband, father and pillar of our community. My heart and prayers are with you all.

To Bronwyn and family, so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. We have great memories of Mark in Napier, he was a good friend with a great sense of humour. Very sad and taken way too soon. Kind regards Hamish and Kelly Fraser

Dear Bronwyn, Archer and Maxwell, we are so sorry for your loss. Mark was an amazing person and we always enjoyed catching up on the side of the rugby field or cricket pitch. Our thoughts and love are with you.

Dear Bronwyn, Archer and Maxwell,
The Hutton family send you all of our love and sympathy at this incredibly sad time.
The loss of Mark has come as a very deep shock for the families who have become friends with your family over the years at Medbury. Mark has always had such a positive impact on family life around the school.
Always great fun at picnics and sports events. Getting to cricket really early to set up his famous gazebo, with his cordless drill!, to keep the sun and rain off us all. He always took on the scoring - without complaint. Always greeted everyone with that huge big smile and a couple of his friendly Dad jokes, or family stories. (the last one he told us about camping at Te Papa, had Suzy in stitches).
Mark was an amazing father with two very impressive young sons to his credit.  He will have been so, so proud seeing Archer and Maxwell playing their first big game in the Medbury first XI. 
Mark will be fondly remembered and hugely missed by everyone who knew him. There will be a big, big gap on the rugby sideline this winter.
The thoughts, sympathies and support of all the Medbury families are with you guys. 
Hamish, Suzy, George, Charlie and Louis

Dear Bronwyn, Archer, Maxwell and the Appleman family,

I extend our deepest condolences during this difficult and sad time, Mark was a highly respected and liked member of our team. His leadership, knowledge and humour will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with you and the family as you, like us, attempt to come to grips with the loss of a great husband, dad, family member, friend and colleague.

Dearest Bron, Max& Archer

My heart goes out to you and I send hugs from across the ditch. My memories go back to you still dating in Napier. Life goes on, but how different to what you planned and what a gaping hole he leaves for you 3 & Gabrielle. I am so sorry.

Lots of love

Dear Bronwyn, Archer & Maxwell.
Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Mark was so funny at the Year 7 end of year drinks last year, his `exiting of the bar´ was so entertaining - he definitely made all of us laugh that night.

Arohanui (love) to Bronwyn, Archer, Maxwell at this most sorrowful time. I remember the cheerful demeanour of this "behind the scenes" guy back in our DanceStiles days. A wonderful, cherished man.
