I don't know how I missed this but this picture was posted in the comment section of the obituary. Of course now we have heard from his friend Travis which confirms it but if we had seen this picture...

RIP.......very sad news for his family and the 914 family. I have many of his 914 items in my GT clone. Never met him but sounds like he was a great guy.

May he RIP. Developed many parts and was one of the most helpful individuals I have ever met. Like a lot of us, we have used his parts to make our cars better. The quality and advice he offerred was done from the heart. He even had he solution to my 911 emergency brake problem which he gave advice willingly and without any reservation.

He has touched all of us, Whether we knew him, purchased parts, or whatever, Mark was always giving and developing parts to help others in making their cars better.

I did not know him except through the different emails and part orders which did make my car a much beter and endearing project. I will miss him very much as others have indicated.

He was a very busy guy. We were trying to develop a fuse panel for the bus just like his 914 ones. A very stand up person and he is missed. I cant believe we lost Al Garcia and Mark Bland in the same month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If you want to leave condolences? I suggest going to the webpage that his obit has listed. Unfortunately I know too well that close friends and family read these many times over and over. Anything good said is special to read when you lose someone close.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I will also be 55 in three years. Way to young for this to happen. I also bought allot of his products. His products and customer service was always the best. He will be totally missed.
RIP

Very sorry to hear this confirmed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I have his inner long kits, pedal boards, fuse box kits, and more.

I think we will all remember him for a long time to come. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Whatever you want to accomplish in life, do it now because there are no guarantees.
