Colleen and boys, I am thinking of you in your time of sorrow and want to let you know Colleen, that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. No doubt Mark has already met Dad and are talking about our families and hockey and are watching over us. Peace be with you.
Dear Colleen, Mark and Adam:
You have all been through a battle together. We pray God’s strength and comfort for you always and trust the sadness will turn to fond memories over time. Big hugs!
I was so saddened to learn of Mark’s passing and wish the family a heart full of wonderful memories. I was privileged to have welcomed Mark to the mental health team in Strathmore. He brought to our team a new, rejuvinated, vision of community care that allowed us all to be able to help so many more people, where they lived. His warmth, humour, and honest heart are the character traits that most reflect Mark in my memories. Take care family…
Ethel & all your family – Thinking of you with Sympathy. Sharing in your sorrow and hoping it will comfort you to know that many hearts reach out to you in sympathy & love.
Mark will be sorely missed. His kindness and care for for our family through the ACT program was amazing.
He will be fondly remembered for helping improve the quality of life of so many.
Our sincere sympathy to Mark’s family.
Colleen, Jordan and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mark will be greatly missed at the rink.

our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. We only met Mark once when he came to New Zealand for Kent and Laurens wedding 2 years ago and could see then what a wonderful man he was. Lauren has always spoken of her deep affection for her father in law and we are glad that Kent and Lauren got to spend time with him before his sudden passing.

Dear Kent and Lauren,

With love from Uncle Bob and Auntie Ila
Colleen & Family, Ethel (Mom), Wayne & Glenna.
Our sincere condolences for the sudden loss of Mark.
I (Dora) had the great honour of having Mark work with me on Lawncrest 1 in the 1980’s. A more caring man you would not find. I will not forget how Mark and the other staff at that time took on the challenge of making those less fortunate patients on this very disturbed Unit feel important and so loved.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Dora & Garry Anderson
Our deepest sympathy to Mark’s wife and family. Both Mark and I started our first day of school together and played on some of the same teams throughout our school years and did all the things kids do when they are growing up. He was a great athlete and a person you could really laugh with. I will always remember the camping trips he took with our family and how he could make my parents laugh till their sides hurt. He will be missed.
To Thompson family,
I was Sadden and shocked by the news of your loss.My sincere condolence to you all.
Colleen, Jordan and Adam,
Our sincere condolences in your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I worked with Mark out in Strathmore for many years and am so saddened to hear of his passing. He left with all of us who worked with him many memories of his stories, about “his boys” and “his wife” and all the things he held so dear to his heart. I know memories of him will always stay with those of us who were blessed to work with him. Our hearts are with you as you say good-bye, and I hope the memories you hold dear give you some measure of comfort.
Mark will be missed by all. His zest for life and unique outlook is something that is very rare in our time. Our family knew Mark and the Thompson clan for over 25 years, and while we struggled sometimes to keep in touch on a regualr basis, when we did get together it was just like “old times”. My friend you will be missed!
Dear Colleen, Adam & Jordan,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
We have many fond hockey memories of Mark over the years. He will truly be missed.
Our sincere sympathy,
Helen & Clarence Aab

My heart goes out to the loved ones of a man that I could call, “my friend”. Our friendship dates back to grade school when back in Ponoka we competed vigorously against each other in every sport imaginable. Mark was by far a better swimmer and basketball player. Our athletic pursuits diverged and by high school his sport of choice was basketball. Our passion for excelling bonded us and allowed us to not only compete against one another but to also savour good times in one another’s company. Competition may have been our divining rod for earning each other’s respect. In my mind he was an honest, simple, caring and beyond all else; honourable man. He was this and more in the capacity of a husband, father, brother, uncle and son. The world has lost a role player. His family has lost a point guard. There will be no more three pointers. Mark’s court presence will be sadly missed.
I worked with Mark when he first started with the Assertive Community Treatment Program and his character, personality brought a lot to our team and more importantly to our clients. He brightened many peoples lives with the various programs and events he arranged. Those that know Mark, he would go out of the way to help anyone and enhance there quailty of life. He will be greatly missed by all. My sincere sympathy for his family.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We will never understand why Mark was taken so suddenly, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we will begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave everyone many memories too beautiful to forget.
Colleen, Jordan and Family,
We are shocked and saddened to hear about your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this incredibly difficult time.
Gerry, Kaylene & Brett Pinder
Colleen, Jordan, Adam and Kent,
We are so very sad to hear about your loss. Mark was a great family man and fan as well as a strong supporter of the Calgary community in general. We will all miss him and our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
Jim, Kelly, Hannah, Lucie and Bennett
My condolences and prayers go out to Mark’s family. I attended junior high and high school with Mark in Ponoka and will always remember his great athletic abilities, love of life and kind heart.
May the sorrow you feel in your heart lighten by the love that surrounds you.
