Mark was a great man, husband and father. I was blessed to have him as a boss for 1.5 yrs in the late 90's. He was the antithesis of the previous owner of our company. I regret that our time together ended abruptly, however, I'm grateful to have known him as a friend and boss. God Bless your family.

I have been wanting to write a note, but the sad truth is, I think the reality of Mark's passing is just now beginning to sink in. Jim and I have been trying to console each other, with mixed results. When Jim called with the news, Christa's and my hearts sank. While it is true we have not known you guys as long as Jim has, some friendships are immediate and true from the first meeting. This was the case with each of you. When I first met Mark, I knew we were brothers in spirit. It is not often that such a friendship comes along, so I knew he was a special person.

Christa loved teasing me when games were on because Mark and I would text each other non stop. Christa would suggest it was as if we were watching the game together. I also loved the Saturday morning music videos Mark would send. As you may know, we shared a love of the same music. Mostly, I loved his visits and trips to the Gorge. Indeed, the very best time was when you, Brenda, came with him, and the time after that you guys brought Lara and Paige. Those times we shared are the memories we will have with us for as long as we live.

Whenever I drink wine, Mark will be in my thoughts as to whether he would like the taste, and me wishing he was there to share the bottle. Please know Mark's spirit will live on in us, and the memories will always bring smiles. His friendship will be missed, but his memory will last forever. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. Take care, dear friends, and may God's peace be with you during this difficult time.

With love,
John & Christa Mudd

Mark my good buddy you have left us far too soon. I have thought of you many times the last few weeks finding it hard to face the fact that your gone. We would have just finished our Red River Gorge camping adventure this weekend which we both were looking so forward to. The back country camping spot I had located was spectacular. I know you would have loved camping there in the woods next to a beautiful creek in the solitude of the Gorge with a roaring camp fire and good food.
There are too many things to list that I will miss about my good buddy and it will be hard but I guess we must move on. Although now with a missing part. I will catch you on the other side my friend. Brenda and Lara, you know I will always be here for you.

Brenda and Lara, I was so shocked and saddened when I heard of Mark's passing. He was so important to Doug, and was a great friend to the rest of my family. We have many funny and fond memories of Mark. I know you have such sorrow in your hearts, but know that Mark is with you always. God bless you both.

Mark
You are my brother's son. I pray you are with your Father, Mother and Brother right now. You must be having a wonderful time. I will always cherish the time I spent with you. Peace be with Lara and Brenda.

Love,
Aunt Marilyn

Marks Family,
          I worked with Mark a few years back in the lighting business and he was always such a warm and friendly person and had a great business mind. He would always ask how my wife Maxine was doing with that booming voice of his. From what everyone has written it goes much deeper, it just doesn't make sense that he is gone now. Have a safe trip Mark and we'll see you on the other side. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

Mark I will so miss u & your zest for life . I will miss all your phone calls  & emails . You reminded me all the time how much u appreciated the work I did for u . What u didn't know was it was always my pleasure to do a good job for u . My heart just shattered when I heard of your passing. I hope u have found that stress free & peaceful place we spoke about. Life just isn't the same without my fine Floridian friend ... RIP .. From ur fine froggy friend

Brenda and Lara, You both are deeply in our prayers during this difficult time.  With all our love, Uncle Steve and Aunt Teresa, Derek

Brenda and Lara we were shocked to learn of your loss. I have Mark to thank for the chance he took on hiring me when he did, I learned so much from him about business but most importantly about enjoying life, he did it well! My family has great memories of visiting the Newman's! Much love to you both!

Dear Brenda and Lara, I am truly sorry for your loss...I have worked in the office building next to Mark and have known him for the last several years. I just found out today of his sudden passing and I am deeply sorry.  He always had a great smile and just a great man...My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time...God Bless  Denise Miller

Brenda and Lara,

I had the pleasure of working for Mark in Houston at Lightways,  at CEW,  and then he and I working again together here at Techlight as my FL rep. He was truly one of a kind and I will miss him and our non business conversations. I considered him a friend first and will miss those early morning calls as I drove into work daily. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. I will be in touch Lara as we will continue your Dad's efforts with you at the helm.

Dear Mark,  This is such a shock, such a loss.  I am grateful for the times we had together.  I am regretting we had not connected lately.  You, Brenda and Lara were a special part of our family.  My brother-in-law had a unique way of making us laugh, making us think, and just enjoying life.  Brenda and Lara, I hope we can reconnect too.  You are in my prayers.

Mark was very special to me and I truly miss the lively telephone conversations we had.  I even have your birthday card signed and ready to send this month.  I enjoyed your company, you were my best 'sparring partner'.  I will remember the wonderful visits we shared, you and Brenda were incredible hosts.  Miss you and my prayers go out to Brenda and Lara.

We will miss you, Rabbit! We enjoyed our visits in Florida & your politics. You will also be remembered by the LHS Class of 1973.

Mark, Brenda and Lara played a large part in my childhood on Wisper Run Court.  Lara and I were the only girls in the neighborhood for years and Mark always encouraged Lara and I to be fearless and to keep up with the boys so we would never miss out.  It's this life-loving outlook that I will remember most about Mark.  Mark, you are missed.  Brenda and Lara, you are in my thoughts.

I am deeply saddened by his sudden unexpected death. Wished I could have taken the time to have a couple of Pina Coladas with Mark. He surely will be missed by all.

Mark, Thank you for all the wonderful memories growing up! You always seemed so happy, smiling all the time and your quick wit and humor. Let's not forget your love for politics! You will be greatly missed and will hold you in my memories forever. Prayers to Brenda and Lara who you adored so much. Rest in Peace my dear friend and cuz!

Thanks for all the memories we had together you were truly a great person may u rest n piece c u down the road

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

You will be missed so much. Enjoyed catching up with you. You could put a smile on my face everytime. I know from our talks you were a true family man and loving your life....Gone too soon...My heart goes out to Brenda and Lara.                   goodbye my friend..Debbie Curtis Quebe

Mark was truly one of the good guys of the class of 73.  Always a smile and a laugh.  Hugs and prayers to Brenda & Lara.

Mark was a friend of mine since grade school,We have kept in touch through social media.We always got together at class reunions and tipped a few cocktails together,the man had some great toast,I will miss the legacy of the Rabbit,he had a remarkable zest for life.My prayer go out to his family,see ya one the other side brother.

Mark, I will always be glad that we found each other on Facebook.  We have pictures of you at our wedding in 1961 ~ you were just a little towheaded boy.  I have enjoyed our emails and our discussions of family and the exchanging of pictures.  Rest well, cousin, you are missed.

Mark, I am glad we got to talk to each other on facebook. We lost touch when we all left Lebanon,but we reconnected. I will miss you. You were truly one of the good guys. My prayers are with your wife and daughter. RIP Mark!

There was a small gang of us who lived at the top of Meridian St. back in the 1960s --Judy Huse, Mark & Cindy and myself.  We put a lot of miles on our bikes back then and played many games of kickball in the IGA parking lot.  My thoughts go out to Mark's family and many friends.

Brenda & Lara my heart goes out to you all Mark was a very nice person i will miss talking to him may god bless you and strength.
Martha Foster

What a great friend you were in high school. After you "friended" me on FaceBook recently I was looking forward to reconnecting and catching up at our upcoming HS reunion. Another lesson in never take anything or anyone for granted; enjoy every moment of life because we never know when God will call us home. So sad you had to leave everyone so soon. Prayers for healing to your wife and daughter.

Uncle Mark, my favorite uncle, u truely will be missed. U were there for me when everyone else had given up, thank youfor all the life lessons you thought me. Thank you, love always Cary.. Aunt Brenda and Lara, my heart goes out to you, I can't. Imagine what you are going through.

Brenda and Lara please know that everyone feels the sorrow and hopes that fond memories will soon bring smiles to your beautiful faces and take away the tears.  Mark will be missed by many...so sad, so young, so much more to do and give.  We love you both dearly.
Kim and Cassidy White

Brenda and Lara words cannot express the sorrow that we all feel for you right now.  Please allow the wonderful memories and good times fill your heart and take away the tears and bring smiles to your beautiful faces.  Mark was loved my by many and will be terribly missed. We love you guys!
Kim and Cassidy White

Mark, I've known you for as long as I can remember and as I grew up you went from being a great neighbor to a beloved friend. I always appreciated the times we spent together a few times a year at Sebring and my parents' parties along with all of the jokes, smiles, laughter and advice that came with them. 

I'll also remember the love and devotion you had for those around you, especially Lara and Brenda; that's a lesson that will stay with me forever. You will be missed.

Mark,
I so enjoyed every time you came in our office to say hello and talk a while.  You were always willing and helpful when it came to business and open and honest when it came to our friendship.  We said "let's get together" far too many times and didn't make it happen.  That we will always regret, but we enjoyed you immensely for the time we had you here.  A great loss, Mr. Mark Newman.  You definitely made an idelible "mark" on our hearts.  Our thoughts and prayers with Brenda and Lara.

Fondly, Lisa and Wally

Mark, you were a good friend, classmate and a wonderful brother in law. You will be missed by many and I will always remember you. My thoughts go out to Brenda and Lara.

Brenda & Lara There are no words cannot express the depth of our grief over the terrible tragedy of the accident and loss of your husband and father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. If there is anything we can do or if you need someone simply to listen, please don't hesitate to call. 
Love and sympathy, Mandy & Aleana Klodakis

Mark,
You were my best friends brother.  I watched you grow up.  I remember your nickname "Rabbit".  We played Twister.  You, Cindy, Greg and your grandparents (especially Norma (Wanda))were very dear to me. I know your wife and daughter will miss you so much.  I pray for your family and friends.

Mark was a good friend to me throughout high school. He would ride his bike to my house in Zionsville and we shared a love of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Your beautiful smile will be missed! Love, Joni

  Mark your wit, humor, and your smile will be greatly missed. It was always a pleasure to talk to you, either on the phone or when you stopped by the shop to go over any needs we might have or talk about what was going on out  there in the world. My God provide your family with peace and comfort at this time. May God bless you brother. Rest in peace

Mark was a good friend growing up in Lebanon.  I am so sorry for your family and friends.

Dylan and I will miss you very much!  Always in our hearts.

Mark,
Thank you for always welcoming me as part of your family. Most importantly, thank you for Lara. When I look at her, I see my sisters. 

A funny thing I remember is how you used to pet the bellies of your goldfish. I also recall being in grade school and you letting us watch "Married with Children," only to ask a few minutes later if we were allowed to watch it. Of course, we said we were allowed to watch it, even though we had never seen it before. :)

Mark, as my sisters and I have said to Lara in the past, "We love you . . . from a distance."

Mark, I will so miss the arguments we shared and our texts during football season supporting each other's teams. You were the closets thing I will ever come to having a brother. I loved sharing our home with you during high school. I will always miss you. Love ya Cuz!

Mark, you were a true friend. It was you who reached out to me to mend our friendship awhile back. I am so glad you did that sooner than later. I will never forget that lesson in true friendship. You took a chance in me as a young salesman and taught me so much in business. "Can't never did nothin' "
I will never forget all the laughs, outings and road trips.

Mark, Your smile was contagious and lit up my office everytime you were there. I will miss it very much but, I will see it again my friend. Just not yet.

Mark, What a great friend you have been to Cynthia and me over the years.We will miss the fun lunches, dining out , Christmas , and many parties we have shared with you. You will always be in our memories .We surly do miss you !!!  Chuck & Cynthia Simkins

Mark,

You were a great father, husband, and friend. You will be missed my brother. Karen and I promise to there for Lara and Brenda for ever.

Mark, you were a second father to me and I will never forget the memories we shared as a family along with the advice you gave me. I'm going to miss you so much and I promise to be there for Lara and Brenda. I'll always cherish the vacations and memories I have as a kid with the Newman family. I love you and miss you incredibly, your Ally.

After hanging out so much together in school, we went our separate ways, only to reconnect and become great internet friends later in life... now that's gone.  So many great memories...you left us way too soon, but you had a great life, Mark. So sad you leave behind a lovely wife and daughter, but I'm sure they have many wonderful memories.  I'll think about you every time I go on FaceBook...

Mark, we will miss your laugh, jokes, and most of all your huge smile! You were always so happy, especially when we were at a party! We will miss you so much! 

Love,
Steve & Sarah Simkins and baby Chase
