I loved his music. So sad.
Good night sweet prince.
I don’t know who this guy is either, but I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for him because every religion in existence regards suicide as a mortal sin, so there will be no rest in peace or relationship with God, and that is tragic.
The real tragedy is that you believe that.
His music really touched my life. Thanks for sharing your talent, and enchanting the hearts of so many.
To those who write in on the subject of suicide….Please don’t use your religious beliefs to disrespect the dead. Not here, not now. His loved ones and fans are grieving, and everyone could use a little compassion, even from religious fanatics. We will miss you Mark. ~Liz
Here is a truly beautiful essay written about his death from a fan. http://www.anoceanofnoise.com RIP, Mark.
