  2. I send my condolences and love to Debbie. I was only a member of AUC for a short while but Marks posts were an inspiration. While many followed the internet sensation of trolling and filth , Mark continue to display class.

  3. Mark, or FreeBird, as I knew him was one of the most positive human beings I have ever met – even if only online. Free and I messaged back and forth for the past year and developed a great friendship. I am saddened by his passing, but encourage by his sprit. He embodied what this world needs more of, kindness and being a positive human. I will miss his weekly prediction of a 56-0 Auburn win, his positive comment no matter how bad the game went, and the personal piece of his personal life including his prom date, two children he was so proud of, and a grandchild who will forever make him smile. I will miss the man I never met, but most certainly wish I had. WAR EAGLE! 56-0. and I will always “TAKE NUTTIN’ BUT A WIN”.

  4. Sorry for the late post, but I just heard about Mark’s passing today. My sincere condolences to Debbie and family. Mark and I (and Debbie) were good friends in high school and shared countless hard felt laughs together. I count it a sincere privilege to have known Mark personally and will never forget the memories from the good ole days.
