Default The Passing of Mark S

It is with a very sad heart that I have to make this post. I am Mark S's wife and I had to let you all know that Mark S was tragically killed on Sunday morning in a motorbike accident.

I am not sure how often Mark posted here but I knew he came on most of his forums quite a bit.

If anyone is interested in attending the funeral please do not hesitate to contact me on my mobile : 0413 308 104.

Thank you for you kind words in advance.

Mrs Mark S

There was a fatal motorcycle accident near my place, between Thornton & Eildon in VIC on Sunday also. Have no details about that rider or if it was Mark but if it was Mark and you or anyone in your family needs to be here for anything or you need the bike taken anywhere I have a granny flat empty for your use, and a ute to take the bike where it needs to be taken. Although I guess at this stage nobody really cares about these things, still the offer is there, now or in the future.

Absolutely tragic news and it always stings to hear one of our freinds here has had this sort of misfortune. As has been said, what can we say that is fitting? The answer is nothing we can say is enough.

My thoughts and well wishes to you and your family during this time of loss

Please remember it is ok to lean on people during times like these and I am sure if there is anything that you need help with, the troops will be ready with just one post here.

tragic news, I am so sorry for your loss.

Mark was participating in something that he obviously loved, just so shocking that it has taken him from you.
