one day mark justin and myself were fooling around in his garage....there was an old white jeep in there that we had never seen run before...being young curious kids we decided to try to get it started...we tried for it seemed like forever...and then all of the sudden like it was brand new it started...there was only one problem...it was in reverse...that jeep took off backwards and in to the back wall of the garage it went...but it didnt shut off...it kept hopping and barking the tires for who knows how long before we got it shut off... i dont think ive ever seen mark so scared...looking back it is hilarious....just one of many good times we have all shared with mark...

Mark,

Although I never got the chance to meet you, your effect on my life has been nothing short of  extraordinary. I have heard story after story about what an amazing man you were. I truly wish that our paths would have crossed before, I bet we would have been great friends. From what I have been told, we seem to have quite a bit in common...

There are a few things that I would like to say to you. First off, I would like to thank you for loving and caring for Angela and the boys.. I feel that the love and happiness that you shared with them has made it possible for them to open up their hearts to me. For this I am so truly grateful. I love them more than anything in this world. I can totally understand why you loved them so much.. ;)  I would also like to tell you how greatful I am to have your mom in my life. She has allowed me to be a part of your family and has provided me with a motherly love that I have never experienced before.  She is such an incredible person. You already know that though.. :)

Finally.. My promise to you is that for the rest of my life, I will do everything I can to make sure they are all safe, secure, happy and most of all loved. 

Sincerely,

Kristoffer

Though i didnt know you for long we still have our great memories,  from home depot, bar hopping, to sitting at your moms table telling funny childhood memories of you. The day my best friend called and told me she met a man who she thought she could love i was happy,  then she said your name "mark davis" i didnt know what to think at first, "mark davis? hmm i didnt even know he was in town",  From that point the happiness began for her, and in turn she passed it on to me. We hung out a little, mostly at angelas, but i was still a little part of both your lives, i was even blessed with meeting your wonderfull mother and father steve.  

The great memory i will never forget was the night the yankees were playing for the national title, the big game. Mark, Angela and the boys were clam digging. My phone was ringing non stop, Mark with his "smart phone" wanting to know the score and all the details that went with it. Well the yankees won the "world series" and mark, there favorite fan was being a father figure, he was spending time making two little boys happy. Good thing for DVR right mark*wink*. Time went on and things went on as usual, some ups and some downs but all and all life for all was great.  Then i got that horrible phone call on dec 19. mark was gone, i thought "what the hell, and why him?" i cried and cried, i was lost for words, poor angela, poor lil mark, and oh my god, his mom, no mom should ever burry there own child. I was in shock, no details other than the basic, we knew he was gone and was never coming back. Well time has moved on and still no answers, no justice and worst of all no closure. Time heals pain is what i have always been told, well in my book it doesn't but what has is my night time "peek a boo", the pictures your mom posts on your facebook page, and the great story's Angela tells of Marks lil suttle "im still here" things every so often, and most important to me, the one thing you didnt know you left, the importance of life, love and happiness. You may have only lived a short life, but you touched so many people close to me, and i will be forever thankfull for that.  You may be gone, but in my heart you will always be here, making life happier, making me wonder if i am crazy,  and best of all making me laugh. Because that is who you were. I will love you always mark davis.....Thank you for the impression you left on me.
