So sorry to hear of your loss. I was a fellow sidewalk counselor with Winnie before we moved out of state. Sending our love and prayers.
Mary, Mark, and family, So very sorry for your devastating loss. I can’t even comprehend the loss you must feel. Such precious lives lost. Our daughter in law was one of his former students in OT school at Creighton. She said”The only man we would happily show up early to labs for, and stay and just chat! A beautiful life lost way way too soon, we will miss you Dr. K!” And other OT students had similar comments. A testament to you both. Losing that little grandson makes my heart break for you, I could not even imagine. Our thoughts and prayers to his wife and other boys who have lost their husband and dad. God Bless you and bless them in heaven.
Mark was a great man and his passion of OT showed in everything he did. I had the pleasure of working with him on the RDSIS committee for the last two years. He was always genuine and made us smile. Heaven gained a soul too soon but heaven has gained a wonderful saint. Thank you for sharing him. May God continue to hold you close as you grieve during these times.
I wish Mark’s family, friends, colleagues, and students comfort and healing during this impossible time. The community will long remember Mark’s light and gifts. Mark and Taylor’s presence will me missed, and together we all mourn this tragic loss. Prayers for all.
Mark, Sr…. If words would help, I’d say them. Deepest condolences from a Prep ’72 classmate.
