Hi All,

It has fallen on me to be the bearer of very bad news. Unfortunately Mark (I Want a T5) has passed away.

I personally had only met Mark in person once, he was a really nice guy.

I'm sorry this is so short, words escape me, in shock and can't believe this has happened.

I have asked that our best wishes are passed to his family. He and them are in my thoughts.

This is turning out to be a pretty crap week.
Mark was a brilliant bloke, loved his Volvo, his music and above all, his family. Only a few days ago, I was chatting to him about my i.c.e. and he gave me some really useful tips on getting the best out of the sub and amp he kindly gave me.

R.I.P. Mark.

Guys, Sadly, it was me who took the call yesterday to be told mark has passed. We were good friends. We lived 8 miles apart and saw each other couple of times a week and exchanged texts and calls daily. I'm numb. I called Santa and informed him. There is no further details at the moment. His wife is trying to be strong but not doing so well at the moment. I spoke to Marks daughter this morning and shes struggling too. I told them that a thread had been started and offered them all the sentiments. I have been close to Mark for 3 years now, a good close friend. I have NO idea why it happened. I spoke to him on Tuesday and all his end seemed to be well. In many ways, by many people, he will be missed.

Hi all

I'm sure I don't have to ask this but with certain details surrounding Mark's passing being made public that can we all please respect Marks memory and allow him to rest in peace and to avoid any speculation.

Many thanks

I met Mark a couple of times through the Talk Audio Forum & he was a really generous helpful guy & respected by a lot of people. I still can't believe he's gone sometimes. RIP buddy.
