Mark has been my friend for many years, I thought we'd grow old together. He was such a cool dude. Funny, loving, down to earth, he had it all. It's been just over a year and I still can't believe he's gone. Mark was a really good friend, he didn't deserve this! He will be in my memories forever... When we were young and I'd tell Mark something no matter what it was about, he'd always say "Put that on your butt cheeks". I miss my friend so very much and I know one day we'll meet again. Q

Black people don't frequent this area. Must of been a gang thinking he was related to a well known gang member who died in that area, Snapper from clover.

Still feels like yesterday. I can't believe I haven't awaken from this nightmare yet. Friend, I miss you dearly. I miss our long talks, I miss your smile. And the list goes on. I will always love you. Although I wish we had more memories together I will cherish the ones we did have. From the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul I miss you! :(

I just thought of you guy. We used to sing in the ol'choir at DMBC with your brother. Those were the days man. My brother, Chris, died of a heart attack, unexpectedly, only a few days after your funeral. Just never know. Miss knowing you are around. Tell Classie hello too.
