Saying Goodbye

Dear Friends and Family,

We are deeply saddened to tell you that Mark passed away this morning after facing cancer for over a year.  Mark was surrounded by his family for the past week and at the time of his death.  We have been anticipating the end since last Wednesday, but Mark is not a quitter, and just kept on fighting.  We've spent many hours together surrounding Mark's bed, looking at pictures, remembering special times and letting Mark know how deeply we love him.  We will miss him terribly.

We are planning a Celebration of Life service for Sunday, July 6th at 6pm at Silverton High School.  Details will follow.

Thank you all for your support, love, cards, meals, yard work, emails and other acts of love for Mark and for our family.

Sincerely,

The Recker Family

A farewell for such a wonderful, poetic, insightful, caring and kind man.
I know he will be missed greatly, and to you, his family, I say: May God fill you with His sweet presence and may His grace and mercy be yours.

Kelley and family,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I pray that God will comfort you in this season through his Holy Spirit. I'm grateful for the hope we have in Him for you during this time. I know his presence surrounds you today and that He is close.
