    RIP Mark. You will be hugely missed.

    Absolutely gutted by this news. Condolences to his friends and family and colleagues in boards towers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,229 ✭✭✭Dreddybajs


    Mark was such a lovely, enthusiastic, positive guy any time I met him through the Irish Fighting Game Community, which he put a lot of his seemingly-boundless energy into. A lot of people in that community developed friendships for life out of the work he put in.


    Extremely sad to hear this news; my thoughts are with all those that knew him. A true gentleman.

    Very sorry to read this. Anyone who works on boards does more good for people than they probably realise.

    Thank you all and rest in peace to Mark.

    That's so sad, very shocking. Sympathies with his family, friends and colleagues.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I was extremely fortunate to call Mark a friend outside of Boards.ie for many years. I'm completely devastated that he is gone. He makes your life better just by knowing him. Caring, considerate, passionate and an absolute gentleman. I cannot count the number of times we stayed up as a group of friends playing board games until an ungodly hour. We went to Eurogamer in 2013 with another good friend and spent days playing games, eating good food and having a good laugh. He loved his rugby, his baking and his family and friends. Never afraid to put his heart and soul into something.

    I'm typing through tears as I write because I cannot believe he is gone.

    RIP my friend. The world is lesser this week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,239 ✭✭✭UberPrinny_Baal


    Met Mark a few times through the Street Fighter community / Fighting games forum. Lovely guy. Did a lot for the Limerick fighting game community. We are all really devastated to hear about his passing. Our thoughts go out to his family.

    Don't know what to say really...

    The Anonymity of the Internet can sometimes be very strange.

    I got a phone call on Monday telling me that a colleagues son had passed away over the weekend and was saddened by the news. We had met on multiple occasions at Rugby matches and other events over the years.

    Only today do I see this thread and realise that despite a dozen years here on Boards as a user and a Mod ,interacting with Mark multiple times neither of us ever made the "in real life" connection between us.

    He will be missed by all who knew him , in real life and virtual..

    Rest in peace Mark.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,444 ✭✭✭✭Skid X


    Horrible news, Mark always seemed like one of the good guys

    Condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.

    Sincere sympathies to all of Mark's family, friends and colleagues at Boards on his untimely death .

    So sad to hear .

    RIP Mark .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭SniperSight


    I met Mark many moons ago through my brother and their work.

    We played some games, 5 a side football and talked about F1. I can't think of much more to say about him other than that he was truly a sound guy. One of the good guys.

    I hadn't seen Mark in years but when my brother text me the other day to say that Mark had died I was truly saddened.

    Deepest condolonces to his family, girlfriend, friends and colleagues.

    The World has lost a true gentleman.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,005 ✭✭✭Ann22


    I'm so sorry guys. What awful news. He sounds like a lovely guy who'll be missed sorely by his friends and family. Thinking of the Boards team at this sad time..RIP Mark. x
