Site Users, please read RE: Mark (KK)

Hey guys.

It is with extreme sadness that I have to inform you all that Mark (KK) passed away today.

A group of us were all unwinding in Las Vegas this week. And during a late afternoon walk, Mark, his gf, best friend and his wife were all struck by a drunk drivers vehicle as it left the roadway and entered the sidewalk. Our three friends all escaped with bumps, bruises and scrapes. Mark suffered severe head trauma and didn't make it. If you have been watching the news, this story has been airing across the US.

I am so sad I can't even fully express it yet. As many of you know, Mark was a neighbor of mine and was a great friend. I will really miss having him around.

As far as this site goes, things should operate as usual. Mark built a robust and self sufficient site that can operate on it's own for quite a while. I am prepared to fill in where I can and a few of his other friends and family are also.

Shortly funeral arrangements will be finalized. We only know that he will be laid to rest in the MD/DC area where he grew up. Once plans are finalized, I will make sure everyone is kept informed.

If anyone (Sponsors or site users) have further questions, please feel free to send me a message or an email. I'll get back to everyone once I am back home in CA.

Thanks guys.

Ralph

Rest in Peace.

Was just reading the updated story on CNN with his name. It's times like this that we count our blessings and realize how short life is. Live every moment of your life and don't ever take your life, family, or friends for granted. God Bless and Rest in Peace!

I don't know what to say... My prayers go out to all of his friends and family. It is such a horrible thing to even think about, I still can't believe it.

Ralph, if you need any help whatsoever with things here, let me know.

Mark was a good friend of mine, I was informed earlier today of the situation and I am still in disbelief. He was a really nice guy, very calm, very friendly, never insulted anyone. To think that some worthless piece of **** druggy took his life in the most cowardly fashion infuriates me.

They we're waiting at a station for some friends that were on vacation from maryland before the unthinkable occurred.

Mark's funeral will be over here in maryland, his family is on the way there, if they have not already arrived. All I can do now is pass my deepest condolences to his family.


Rest in peace Mark

Alexi

It was easy to see - he was special.
