Mark loved life and lived it to the full. I I have many happy memories of sharing good rides and good times. May his soul ride on (a Norton) as his memory surely will.

may mark contuuine remembered

I have not seen him for many years.

He wiill always hold a place in my heart

So sorry to hear of Marks passing. He was a great mate when we were both working for the NZPO. Mark was on the test desk and I was a faultman.He was very good at his job and we had many a laugh together.

Sitting here today knowing a great many people will also be mourning our great friend and fellow Norton rider Mark. A huge emptiness has been created, his wit, enthusiasm and camaraderie will be missed for a long, long time. My sympathy goes to Steph and family, and to his closest mates.

Tragic .. Mark was such a wonderful person. Deeply saddened to hear about his untimely death. We will always miss you mark. Dear Steph , May god give you strength to bear this loss.
RIP Mark

So sorry for your loss Steph. Will always remember Mark for his amazing humour and how he welcomed me and my family to Max's class.

A big loss to all Norton Owners a true rider and good friend to all will certainly be missed.

I will miss your sense of humor and friendship, the rallies will not be the same, I will have a small drink out of a cap to celebrate your life.

We will all miss you and your special brand of humour, rallies will not be the same, I will have a small drink in a bottle cap to celebrate your life.

Unbelievable loss, unforgettable man...our hearts are heavy but will always be joyous when we think of Mark. We were lucky and honored to have known him. He'll always be along with us when we ride our Nortons.

Steph, we know your love for Mark was true because you generously shared him with all his mates around the world. He spoke of you often during his visits with us here in the U.S.A.
Our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Ride On Mark!

Lots of years full of riding, laughing and taking the piss. One hell of a guy, one hell of a loss. We are going to miss you so much. Always in our hearts. Machon Family. One of our favorite photos

Dear Mark, thank you for all the outrageously funny emails, and the joy you brought to my Craigs family. I only met you a few times but felt I knew you well from the uncounted funny and heart warming stories which have been told on this side of the Tasman and that. You left an incredible impression on all you met, and you will be remembered always with great love in our family. You truly are a legend with the biggest of hearts, and there can surely be no better legacy to leave behind.

Farewell to Mark. Taken too soon. Deepest sympathy to Stephanie and our good friend Tim. . Always enjoyed catching up on his visits to Australia..

A wonderful person whom everyone loved. He will be missed throughout the world.

E te rangatira Mark, okioki atu ki te ringa o te atua, moe mai i too moengaroa.
E te whaea e Steph, e mau tonu ana i te kaakahu taratara, nui te aroha kia koe, kia kaha, maia, kia manawanui.

A unique & cherished friend, Napier Central School class mate, who will be missed so much by so many all around the world.

Mark will be sorely missed by Murray.Lou and Georgie McLean and all his riding friends in the Norton Owners Club and Positive Earth Motorcycle Clubs .
We will miss your smiling face and quick wit,
RIP my brother.

with all our sympathy, Fit & Fabulous friends

I went back to my first e-mails with Mark in early 2011 when he and Iain planned to come to the Norton Rally in New York state. No one knew what we were in for. We got used to the day before undies tied off the back of the bike drying. The humour that was so in scissor, and the kindness and generosity that was unique to Mark. He made everyone he met feel like they were the most important person in the world, and you wanted to be in his world. No one was a better ambassador for Norton Motorcycles in the world than Mark. We are grateful for his presence, and his willingness to give. Steph, that is what he did with your gracious allowance. WE owe everything to you. Although not your hobby, you gave us Mark, and we are eternally grateful.

Rest in peace my dear friend, you will be missed by so many but you will always be remembered.

Dear Steph, my deepest sympathies. We're thinking of you. (Gym regular)

Dear Stephanie, My sincere condolences and was very saddened to hear the tragic news of Mark's passing. I experienced some very funny times in his Christchurch days with Ian Gordon, and with motorcycles being the common thread.

Dear Steph our sincerest condolances to you. Such a sad time, we will miss catching up with Mark on his rides to the south island, a cold beer and and a load of old yarns. thinking of ou at this time

Very sad! Mark was a wonderful workmate and friend to us all at Duty Free Stores, Hamilton Airport. He always brightened our day with a cheeky joke and laugh. Never forgotten. Condolences to Steph at this tragic time.

One of the good guys. The sight of a flying yellow Norton coming out of the Mackley river will not be forgotten. And neither will the cold beer afterwards. RIP.

Dear Steph
A huge loss - Mark will be missed by so many.
My deepest sympathies.

Dear Steph I am so sad to hear of you loss. Mark's love of life, integrity and goodness filled the room. I will always cherish the fun and good times we had. Please know that you are in my thoughts Karen

Dear Steph I am so sad to hear about your loss. Mark's love of life, integrity and goodness filled the room. I will always cherish the fun and good times we had. Please know that you are in my thoughts much love Karen Adams

Mark was one of the few people that I wish I had the opportunity to know better.

Dear Steph, we were shattered to hear of Mark's tragic accident. We know no words can take away your loss and pain, but know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hold on to all those precious memories. Kia kaha and God bless Bronagh and Alistair

Heaven has gained a new angel

Mark wholeheartedly welcomed me into his Norton clan and shared many happy times and drams. The many friends he made and brought together across the globe shows just the man he was. So sad.

Farewell cousin Phill and Floss Burnell

Dear Steph, I am so sorry for your loss and can only imagine how you feel. I too am mourning Mark's passing and am thinking about what a loss this is to us all who new him. However I am also thinking about what a great person he was and have great memories of riding to club rallies with him. Of course he was such an orator displaying endless wit and humour. And he could also be serious when needed. I also appreciated his patience as he would turn back and wait when my Norton stopped again. While this is only scratching the surface when I think about Mark I think Comaraderie.
RIP Dear Mark.

Tragic loss of a good mate & fellow Norton rider

We will always remember Mark cheerfulness and enthusiasm for motorbikes. RIP Mark.

Shattered to hear of the tragic accident that took Mark. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Steph. I know nothing we can say will ease the pain you are going through. Kia kaha and God bless. Bronagh and Al Crook
