I may not of realised it until the the end, but Mark played a massive part in my life. He took me away sea fishing so many times as a kid with Micky pardoe and grandad, went to Wolves away games with Martin Wright and Tunner... I've got so many special memories I will treasure forever...then the carpet businesses, from waring and gillow, factory carpets, trio and ABC I've worked with him for year's and years. Mark taught me so much and I'm so grateful, I'm writing this now with tears in my eyes, but at least I did get to tell him I love him and thank him for being such a big part of my life...god bless you Mark, my 2nd dad XXX love you David, Lauren, Chloe, Sophie and David

Rest easy uncle Mark ❤ my memories of you are those in the carpet shop when I was little. Playing hide and seek amongst all the carpet rolls and being told off if I went near the furnace at the back! I also remember everyone laughing when you pinched paracetamol out the packet and put the empty box back on the shelf! I guess that's why they called you Shark? 😂 You were like a second Dad to my dad at times and that's something I will always admire you for. I will never forget your bravery until the very end. Every time I hear Jackie Wilson I smile and think of you. Goodnight, God bless Uncle Mark ❤ Lauren

Shark, ah kid we shared so many good times from childhood to working together for many years, I'm finding it difficult to write this ah kid but you will never be forgotten your loving brother Brian, love till we meet again 😪😪😪

Uncle Mark ❤ So many funny memories & stories you shared with me & many made with you, sitting me on floodlight pylons to watch Wolves games so i could see, teasing all us kids & all the conversations we had. You always cheered me up everytime & i will never forget that. Our last drink together you said you was proud of me & i will treasure that forever. Miss you, R.I.P, Up the Wolves ❤❤❤

My Uncle Mark😊💙 I have so many happy memories of uncle Mark. Being little and him knowing how much I loved to draw he sat with me and showed me how to make my trees more realistic. It may seem like a silly thing but I was only around 7 but I still draw a tree the same way now! The way he always asked “who sang this?” at almost every song or came out with a random fact. The way every conversation was filled with silliness and laughter (I will really miss that laugh!) My favourite memory has to be him coming in to the club all excited saying he had something just for me. He held my hand made me close my eyes and put a ring on my little finger. I looked down at a tiny kids dress up ring with sleeping beauty on! I was about 15 at the time and he thought he was bloody hilarious! But something he never knew is I’ve still got that tiny kids ring kept safe with my jewellery and it will always be a reminder of how loving, funny and most of all daft Uncle Mark was! LOVE YOU Uncle Mark from Elaina

So where do I start. Mark was a big part of our family a loving caring man.😘 My girls called him uncle mark.❤ I remember 21 years ago and my waters broke with my youngest daughter he was panic stricken 😂 and the time in the bingo he said what the F have you done to your hair 😂 He was a straight talking caring man and loved by many. His wife Lynne and his family have a big hole to fill 😪 our love hugs and best wishes goes out to you all ❤ stay strong like Mark did till the very end. He will always be with you all in spirit and will be partying in the sky 🍺💥😪😪😪❤ xxx

In memory of the Shark, my uncle Mark, so proud to share his name even if it did get me trouble at times and visa versa 🙊 i have some wonderful memories of you from my childhood growing up and into adult life working with the rest of the family in the Carpet trade, some real fun times especially the trips to the seaside and your Caravan at Barmouth, the trips to shell island and the waterfalls and teaching me to Fish when you took us all on one of our first family holidays in Barmouth, the place is special to me and i now take my family there every year and always think back to those times with you and my Dad, will miss you loads Uncle Mark, Gonna miss our silly Greeting when ever we met up! (you) 'Alright Mark' (me) 'Alright Mark' and then that little Grin. You fought so hard right to the end and even then was following wolves and managing to make me laugh by only worrying about how we gonna keep Adama and Nuno, Sleep tight and God Bless unlce Shark. Up the Wolves xxx

Rest easy Uncle Mark You battled for so long; your sarcasm and the chaos you caused on that scooter of yours will truly be missed! You were so strong and so brave! R.I.P Mark xxxx

God bless you Mark ❤️ It was privilege to know you. A truly good man who loved his family more than anything. We’ve had so many good times over the years and you will always have a special place in my heart. Rest easy now, give Nanny Ev and great big kiss for us all xxx

On the 12th July I lost the love of my life you fought so hard to stay with us so very brave till the end love you with all my heart your wife lynne xxxx

My amazing step-dad who was more than a father to me. You are and always be my hero in so many ways. Thank you for teaching me many things including your wit and sarcasm. Thank you for being my lighthouse and rescuing me in so many dark times and doing it all with a smile even when fighting your own battle. Your strength these last 5 years battling cancer is something I can only admire. Thanks for the wonderful memories I will cherish, Camping on Shell island and trips to beaches and lakes and of course the pub. I can't put into words how I will miss you. Love you always. Linzi (Trouble)

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Mark. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
