  Truly a great husband, father, friend and veteran.  I remember our high school days as you could always count on Mark to make you laugh, bust your chops, and have your back (including one particular New Year's Eve celebration).   Mark, you will be missed; thank you for your friendship and service to this country.  To the Brewer family from ours, we send our thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss of your beloved husband.  Though I never met him, I can tell that he must have been very special...and I pray that the memory of that special man will carry you through the rest of your life as a source of comfort.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

mark was more than a friend, he was my best man and my brother.
he will be missed so much, love you bro.

Mark was a good friend and co-worker.  We will miss him.  R.I.P friend.

So vry sorry for ur loss.  I will continue to keep u and ur family in my thoughts and prayers!!

Mark, you have always been an inspiration. I am truly going to miss you. For someone I didn't get to hang out with much, you taught me so much about drumming. I have always been inspired by the way you played, especially "Looks that kill" by Crüe. Godspeed my brother.

Mark this is Aunt Rhonda, I only have good memories of you and my kids playing together, and they were wonderful times. You will truly be missed, God speed you to his side. Love Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Roy.

Mark...IT has been a blessing to know you...you've always had the sweetest and sincerest smile and gave the best hugs ever!...I will treasure all the times I got to hear you playing the drums with either Retrovien or Retribution....and your beautiful memory will stay with me for the rest of my life....sending much love and many prayers to your wonderful wife- Allsion- and your precious family...now you reside in God's Secret Place.....Rest in Peace my friend...

Cousin Mark -
I wish I could have gotten to know you better.  As we got older and had families of our own, time and location kept us from doing that.  It sounds like you had a great life - lots of friends, coworkers, and a church family who deeply cared for you (reading from others comments).  Glad you enjoyed yourself for the short while you were here.  Allison - my thoughts and prayers go out to you and family.
Much love from Kentucky,
Cousin Sarah Hayes Tandy

Hi Mark,

I sit here trying to figure out what to write to you and it doesn't come easy. There shouldn't be a 'goodbye' as in forever, there should only be the 'see you later's that we used to say. Yes, life got in the way and I moved away so we hadn't seen each other in a while but you were and will always be a great friend. I kick myself in regret that I didn't come visit while you were in the hospital. Mum didn't want to see you sick but now we are both paying for it. I am honored to have had you and your wife as friends. You have truly blessed my life, not just with your music but your heart. I miss you so much and will miss you every day. I hope as we mourn you, the tears that fall represent the weakness leaving our bodies so we can return to being strong to honor your legacy. Thank you for being you and being so awesome. I love and miss you Mark! xoxo <3

I was blessed and proud to have known you. God has gained a precious angel. And I know you will forever be missed by your family and multitude of great friends. RIP Mark Brewer.

My thoughts and prayers are with Allison and the children at this most difficult time. May the memories of Mark always keep a smile on your face. Godspeed Mark!

Martha, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Words seem so inadequate at a time like this!  Peace to you my friend.

We were so lucky to have been friends. Such an amazing man! Mark will be sadly missed but always remembered with fond memories and a smile.

Mark you always had a smile on your face everytime I seen you. I know you were one of the nicest guys I ever met. I know you meant a lot to Tony and he really misses you. Allison I am so sorry this has happened to you and I hope it gets easier as the days go by. You will always be in my prayers.

I feel very blessed to have known you.  You were an amazing man and will be greatly missed.  Rest In Peace!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Allison and your entire family.  Mark will be truly missed.  “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory that no one can steal”.
R.I.P my friend

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.   

You succeeded in a BIG way! Rest in peace, brother and continue to watch over and protect your loved ones...

I express my most sinceres condolences to Mark family ...we can not believe Mark is gone....A Martinez.

R.I.P. 
Mark Brewer
It was an honor to work with you.
You knowlege and skill you thought me had help me a lot.
Thanks you for being a great wroker and teacher.
You will be miss but always be remember
...And now a moment of silence, let us pray
And as you journey into outerspace 
may the angels help to lead the way
shine up on your soul to keep you safe
And all the bothers that done passed away
They there to greet you as you pass the gates
And as you headed to the tunnel's light
I hope it leads to eternal life
We say the prayers for our brother Mark Brewer

Mark, only knew you for a short peroid of time but could see how much of a stand up guy you are and what a great sense of humor you have. You will be missed. R.I.P my friend

Rest in Peace Mark..
Thank you for the music!!
My heart felt condolences to Allison and all of Marks loved ones and friends! 
My thoughts and prayers to each of you!

Is it bizarre to sign your own husband's guest book? I just need to vent, I guess....Sitting here alone. Not a fan. I've said this a thousand times...it wasn't supposed to happen like this. There are 6 kids out there in need of their Dad - biological or bonus...it makes no difference. There is a heartbroken wife sitting here wailing "why"?? There are parents mourning the loss of an only son. There are in-laws and nieces and nephews who are beside themselves...and there is a community of friends and musician family that are missing one rockin' drummer!! I simply am devastated...

Mark, only knew you for a short time here at work but you were always willing to answer any question i had and your sense of humor was amazing. RIP my friend.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.  Prayers continue for Allison, and the children.  God bless each of you and bring you peace.

I wish to extend to you and to members of your family my deepest sympathy on your loss.  May the Lord's loving promises comfort you and give you strength as you walk through this difficult time.  On behalf of a greatful nation as an expression of appreciation for the honorable and faithful service rendered by your loved one.

I am proud to have been able to know Mark and be a part of his life. He will be sorely missed by a great many of us who were touched by his infectious personality. See you on the other side my friend ... God Bless Allison & the kids.

Allison & Family, We are so sorry for the loss of a great man. He is sorely going to be missed by many people, never forgotten. You are in our hearts & prayers. We love you. Kevin & Paula Knott & Lauren Bergman

Mark, God has called you home so young and only He knows the reason why. While we are saddened here on earth in our own selfish ways, we are happy that you are in a better place now beside God. May you spread those beautiful wings you have so greatly earned and soar. Also, don't forget to play your golden drums that we all know you have been blessed with, so that our hearts can always feel your presence when we hear music. Most of all, watch over Allison. Let her know in your own special way each night as she closes her eyes that you love her and are always with her no matter what and that everything is going to be ok. Know that this isn't goodbye, but until we all meet again friend!!
