Mark, its almost been 1 year since you've spread your wings but for me it still doesn't seem real.  I love you and miss you more than words can say.  I miss your never ending explanations and you always saying ”God bless you” &”I love you baby”  you are and always will be ”a rock star”....big hugs and kisses to you!

I just heard about Mark's untimely passing. Even though my husband, Bill, and I only knew him for a short period of time, he quickly endeared himself to us by his kindness and caring nature. He will be much missed by us.  Maxine Pinson

The first time I met Mark was when I was 11 years old. He was 21 and drove a bright yellow hot rod car. I thought he was the coolest guy on earth! 
Faith and I met in 5th grade and became immediately inseparable. Mark used to show us karate moves and make funny jokes. He used to love to tease us and make us laugh. 
Something very memorable about him was his laugh! He had an awesome deep laugh and a great smile! He was always very kind to me. I was shocked to hear about his passing. 
I remember even when he was in his early twenties he had to battle his diabetes everyday. His memory lives on and he is in a very special place now. 
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. I love all of you.

I've known Mark since we went to school together at Independent in the 70's. We have maintained that friendship over the years. His death was a shock to me. He will be greatly missed by me,and my family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hillard family.

I was very sorry to learn of Marks passing and wish I had been in town.. I first met Mark at Independent Day School back in the 70s. What a great time we had in and out of school. I can remember us riding our bike's all over tne place even before some of the roads were paved.. He was a great friend full of life and always very polite to everyone always, very good hearted. He will be missed, but we will alway's have our own memories of him in our Heart's... God Bless to his Mom and Dad and brother and sister's.

I want to thank everyone for the sweet messages and prayers sent.  I love and miss my big brother but I know he is with God...faith

My sister loved him because he became a good friend and a good person to her. He was her only friend that truly understood Jackie . She is distraught. Jackie said " I loved him so much, Joanne, he cared about Jesus and animals and me! I miss him. I have no one like him in my life.

My deepest sympathy to the Hilliard family.  You all are in our thoughts and prayers

Jessica and Faith,

May you be comforted by what Jesus told Martha when her brother died:

"Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." John 11:25

Mark was as classmate of mine at Savannah Country Day. I had lost contact with him for about twenty years and met him at Jury Duty one day. I hired him to remodel my office. He did superior work and it was wonderful re-kindling an old friendship. He was perhaps the most polite person I knew. I hate that he has passed at such a young age. I will miss him and extend my sympathy to his friends and family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Mark. I got to know him through the coffee bar at Savannah Christian Church. He would always order a coffee & a bagel and split it with his dad. He was so friendly and outgoing and will be missed.

Still your AAA representative :).  Sorry to hear of his passing...Carrie

You did so many Good things for people, and you loved your family so much and Zip and Coco..All of us will miss you daily.I love you, Love Jackie Nelson
