    I attended the Service for Mark yesterday afternoon and despite the restrictions there was a large turnout of friends and family.

    After a pretty dull and dreary start to the day , by 3pm the sun was shining and it was a beautiful afternoon.

    As per the family request large numbers of people were wearing Bright colours and Sports Jerseys of all kinds to celebrate Marks life - It was lovely to see.

    I didn't get to go inside the chapel due to the limit on numbers but it was great to see such a big crowd turn out from all over the country for Mark.

    @Quin_Dub I was there too, I didn't get inside either but stood at the patio where I could see and hear the service and it was a really lovely one despite the sadness of the day. Everyone who spoke about Mark spoke beautifully and it's clear to see how popular he was in every facet of his life.

    Guys, reading this thread has brought Mark's family a lot of comfort over the past few difficult days. His parents have asked me to pass on their sincere thanks to you all for the condolences offered and for the lovely posts you have written about him. Thank you.

    @Quin_Dub @Boards.ie: Niamh I was there too, couldn't have been standing more than a few feet from ye. It was a lovely service and great to see all the colour and diverse groups of friends. Everyone who spoke did an amazing job. Mark was an absolute gent, when you meet his family you can see why. Just great people.

    This is shocking, only stumbled across this thread seeing the title and didn't at all expect to read what happened and for it then to be Mark. Had the pleasure of meeting him in person a good few years ago at the Games Fleadh in Thurles, we were sat at the same table for dinner that night and he mentioned something that instantly made me say 'omg you are Saber from boards aren't you', we used to talk over on the FIFA forum at times or in PM about stuff as he was doing youtube videos and getting into all that side of things. Once the penny dropped we chatted about all of that and had a few other mutual friends at the table and it was a great night of craic and banter. Used to follow his youtube videos and from time to time he would post on the forum. A lovely guy who came across as extremely genuine and friendly and just an all-around nice guy. Very tragic to hear he passed suddenly and at a young age, condolences to his family and friends. RIP Mark.

    I've never met this guy in real life but I might have his read his posts on the rugby & F1 threads over the years on this site. I've only just read this thread tonight after seeing the title on the homepage. I cannot believe that this man had died so young. It puts life into perspective for all of us. I hope that he is at peace now. RIP Mark. 😔

    Really sad news. Did not know Mark that well, played on a tag rugby team with him in 2006. Seemed like a really nice guy. Condolences to Mark's family and friends

    Sorry to hear. RIP

    Deepest condolences to Mark's family and frieends.

    Mark was a great person. When we were working together on the eSports.ie project he was very proactive, full of energy and helping others in need. Very skillful and educated, he was always setting up new goals and finding ways to reach them. He was the 'pushing force' for me, and I am pretty sure for others around him as well.

    Rest in peace Mark. You will be missed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 185 ✭✭CinammonGirl


    So sorry to hear this, did not know Mark, but he sounds like a lovely guy. So sad to be taken from his family and friends so young. May he RIP.

    I've removed a couple of posts that were well meant but inappropriate for this thread. Mark died peacefully in his sleep as was said in his death notice.

    We really do appreciate the kind thoughts that have been posted 🙂

    Oh, that's awfully sad - heartbreaking for all his family, but it sounds like he was a wonderful man and was given a wonderful send-off.

    I wish to add my condolences on the sudden death of Mark.

    I hope that the continuation of Boards.ie will be a testament to his memory.

    I'm terribly sorry to hear of his loss.

    Despite all the people being lost to us over the past year, every one of them is an irreplaceable loss, and more so to those who are left with a space in their life that can never be filled by anyone else.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,629 ✭✭✭magma69


    Went to primary and secondary school with Mark. Saw some people on FB put up pictures on their profile of him and my worst fears were confirmed not long after. Wasn't close friends with him but he was always a very softly spoken guy and a gentleman. Very sad stuff. RIP Mark.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 Still Clueless


    RIP Mark, condolences to his family and friends.

    May he rest in peace, so sorry to hear about Mark; sincerest condolences to you Niamh, all his family and friends.

    As a simple Boards user, I miss just knowing Mark is around. He was always willing to talk any Boardsie through something you didn't understand. I dunno how or why, he just made the time and effort (even after hours) - always interested, interesting and pleasant - a rare gentleman, indeed.

    His monthly announcements were something I always looked forward to reading - he just had a way, ya know? Truly cant imagine the loss his family, friends and colleagues must endure daily... but with the few online interactions we had, I miss him... A real loss to the Boards community. RIP our friend.
