May his memory be a blessing.

Goodbye my sweet friend. You'll never be forgotten ❤️

Lon andSean Ben Asher my daughter Tara and I send our deepest condolences to you and your families on the passing of your Dad.  We were friends for the past 25 years.  I truly considered him one of my best friends.  We laughed and cried together.  As finicky as he was he just loved you more than you may know.  He was extremely proud of you and his grandchildren..
I will always remember him with a smile on my face.  May his memory always be a blessing.. in my eyes he is irreplaceable, and I believe in most people who knew him, they would agree!

Among his other contributions to the community, Mark was a member of the Homestead Center for the Arts Board of Directors. We join others in expressing our thanks to Mark and offer deepest condolences to his family and all who called him friend. He will be missed.

Our aching ears cannot hear you
Nor our straining eyes see you.
Our empty arms long to hold you
One last time.
Though you've passed to the Garden,
You are not gone
For you are pinned to our hearts.
We will speak your name,
Tell your stories,
Sing your songs...
And your memory will go on and on.
Goodbye, dear friend, 
Rest well and deeply in the arms of angels.

"A fun story behind this photo: a parrot, surrounded by people, chose to perch on Mark's shoulders, her favorite."

"With his grandchildren, sharing fun-filled moments, memories I treasure."

"At Sam's bar, a place he frequented every Saturday."

"At the Homestead rodeo, wearing his cowboy hat."

"At the wedding of his youngest son, Sean Ben-Asher"

Much love from our Seminole Theatre Board of Directors.

With a heavy heart, I write these words after Mark Ben-Asher’s passing. His departure has left me deeply saddened; he was an extraordinarily loved man, not just by me, but by everyone fortunate enough to know him. Together, we shared beautiful stories—full of trips, adventures, and cherished family moments—that I’ll forever hold dear. Mark was one of a kind: charming, with a great sense of humor that brightened any room, and a warmth that made everyone feel at home. We will miss him terribly. My heartfelt condolences to his family during this painful time; my thoughts are with you.

My father enjoying a moment with his granddaughter!

Rest in Peace, Mark.   You've been a friend for a long time, sometimes a very good friend.   I will miss you.
