Cebuhar Family,

Mark and I worked together at Northwest and Delta.  He was always a compassionate and caring person.  He simply liked people…..

I was flying from DTW to PHX years ago, and he had the most enormous green AF B-4 bag filled to the gills, and asked if I would store it in the cockpit, as the overhead bin was way too small.  I happily obliged, and Mark was appreciative!  Think he was moving stuff for his family - never knew the contents of that huge bag!

Condolences to the Cebuhar family!  Sorry to hear of this sad news….

To Cynthia and the Cebuhar children,

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your husband and father.  Mark was my classmate and squadron mate, and over the past 45 years, he became a close confidant and dear friend,  We had long phone conversations  — you know how Mark liked to talk — about our shared Catholic faith, life, the world, etc., but most often he talked about you, his family. 
He cherished his roles as a husband and father.  It was his reason for being and why if any of you needed him, he would move mountains to be by your side.   I have to smile, recalling that Mark always seemed to call from somewhere different because he was with one of you — usually after catching several connecting flights, invariably getting bumped, and being up half the night.  
The love he felt for you was also conveyed to his good friends of which I was blessed to be among.  When I had a renovation project, he said “I have some stuff you could use,” and showed up in a couple days in his Prius jammed with “stuff.”   And typical Mark, he stayed a week to help me finish my project.
Speaking with several other classmates, we concluded that he had the biggest heart and was the most genuinely selfless person we’ve known — and that’s why his passing stings so much.
He was always there if we needed anything  — and now he isn’t.  
Again, my condolences to you, Cynthia, and your children, for the loss of Mark.
It is true, isn’t it?  You don’t know what you have until it is gone,

Pat Davis, USAFA Class of ‘79

To Cynthia and the rest of Mark's family and friends: 
We will miss Mark. As those of us from his US Air Force Academy class mourn his passing, we know Mark lived a full life. As a B-52 pilot, he proudly served his country & contributed to our national security. As an airline pilot, he  provided his passengers and fellow crewmembers with a safe flying experience. All in all, he made a difference to those around him. That's even more true to the ones that mattered the most in Mark's life... his family. 
He may be gone from this earth, but I'm sure he will always be watching out for the ones that meant everything to him. Now, he has a "God's eye view" for those he loved throughout his life.
Rest in peace, Mark. You will be missed but you will also be remembered.  Take care, classmate.

Mark  Cebuhar was a good cadet, a good officer, and a wonderful person.  It was an honor to know him at the Air Force Academy.  His memory will endure!

Thoughts from my friend Mark,

We need to do something.
Why isn't it done already?
Caught in emotion of the moment. regroup. move forward.
Always care about those that do not have.
He hated seeing others struggling since he knew many times where he and those he loved struggled.
He wanted to serve and have others know about his friend, Jesus Christ.

For an Airforce Officer, may God's B52s (angels) come and take you to paradise.  Rest safe my friend.

Mark was a truly generous man, working hard to make things and people better. I remember many times he would offer help, resources, or a least a pithy comment. He will be missed!

He was the most generous brother and the hardest working individual. The world has lost a true shining star.
