It is with great sadness that i learn of Mark's passing. He was one of our young, talented trainees at RBC and I again came in contact with him as his career with Edward Jones was taking off. A very talented, sweet, compassionate young man who embraced everything with such joy. A truly remarkable young man. RIP dear Mark. I will always remember you as you were so very special.

Used to talk to Mark about his ff book collection. Good guy. js

Dear Brian, Sandra and Michael: You are not forgotten, We love you and think of each one of you often. Our hearts are tender toward you each and our prayers are also lifted on your behalf. Love Norma and family

I have just found out today about Mark’s passing and I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Mark at Edward Jones, and followed him when he went to Raymond James. I enjoyed talking with Mark and every visit was a lot of fun when I went to see him. He was just a wonderful person and so kind. I hope that all of your good memories will help you through this very sad time in your life. I offer my deepest condolences to his family. The world was a better place for him being in it.

Kind regards,

Judi Jeffers

Our heartfelt love goes out to you and your family.

Brian, my deepest condolences to you and your family at this tragic and unexpected loss of your dearly loved and beloved son, Mark.

Words fail me at this time, but I wanted to reach out to you to express my condolences.

Sincerely, Jean Tait

Mark was my best friend from grades 6 to 9. He had a great affect on my life and we’d continue to chat over the years. Last year I visited Calgary and he took me out for drinks. We always got along and could speak frankly. He made me feel better about my troubles, ironically. I feel a deep sense of loss, surprise, and numbness.

My condolences.

I am so sorry on the loss of mark. He was a loyal member to PGIB and a good friend to all who crossed his path.

Dear Brian, Sandra, Michael & Christa;

While we only had the immense pleasure of knowing this dear soft soul for but a moment, the time that we did know MJ was a blessing. He was such an incredible kind soul, a welcoming smile for everyone, an attentive ear and a comforting presence. He brought such a deep respect for Christa that was so sweet to see. I am so deeply saddened by this loss. May God surround you all with love, support and grace during this most difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

Ray & Marilyn Schafer

One day at my door in Canyon Meadows this young capable, aggressive and confident man shows up selling financial investments and it is Mark J. Popp. I immediately liked and respected him and invested with him. Over time I got to know the person and really admired the man. I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of this young, capable and fine person. Mark J Popp impressed me and I was lucky to have met him. So sorry to hear of his loss! PS. He never told me what the J stood for? I felt he had really character always introducing himself as Mark J.

Kent Richardson

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Brian and family:

Tracey and Randy Chapman

Though I didn’t know him well, the times I did spend with him were filled with his laughter and love for life. He will be missed. My condolences.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you all as you mourn the passing of a special soul. Mark had the unique ability to talk to anyone about anything and always made those he called friends feel loved and appreciated for the insights they shared with him. The deep, philosophical conversations that I personally had with him are held close to my heart. He will be dearly missed and always remembered.

I met MJ back in October 2007 when he hired me as his administrative assistant at Edward Jones. We worked together for 4 years and became great work colleagues and friends. He was a dedicated worker and a loving person to his family and friends. Mark, you will be greatly missed and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Claudia

To Brian, Sandra & Family,

My heart-felt condolences and thoughts are with you all.

Very sad to hear of the loss of Mark. He was an impressive young man who was filled with capabilities that gave us much confidence. We feel your great loss of such a promising young man who had much to give to our society. He treated us with great politeness and much attention.

My heart is heavy with the news of Mark’s passing. He was a beautiful person and a dear friend. I will always cherish his kind heart and we will all miss him dearly. My heart and prayers are with his family and friends.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Mark and I met in high school and while we weren’t close friends, we saw each other quite a bit over the years in group gatherings, and he was always fun to be around. He would always greet me with a smile and I always enjoyed being around him–I only wish I could have done it more. He was a great person and I’ll miss him.

Brian, Sandi, and Michael,

We are so saddened to hear of Mark’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad and difficult time. Please accept our deepest sympathies and condolences.

Doug

Brian, to you and your family, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of Mark. No words are adequate at this time, but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May God provide you with strength to guide you through this.

A hole in my heart from the tragic news. MJ was such a fantastic friend. It was always a pleasure to have lunch with him and see his smiling face and endless optimism on life. I remember him speaking so highly of Christa and their future. I will miss him so much. I was lucky to have known him for the time I did. RIP you beautiful soul.

Brian and Family.

Our prayers are with you and your family on the passing of your son Mark. It’s not easy to lose a loved one, let alone a child. Your faith and courage will give you strength to get through this very emotional time.

Tammy and Paul Couillard

My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to everyone in MJ’s family. What an incredible loss and I am totally in shock right now having just received the news of his untimely passing! MJ and I became great friends through our years of attending business networking dinners together. I cannot forget the countless times he insisted on driving me home after the dinners, especially during the cold winters. I will always remember his quick wit and engaging personality, and his selfless dedication to both his business clients and his friends. The world’s a sadder place without your cheery presence, MJ! You will be sorely missed by everyone you left behind.

Mark and I went to high school together. We’ve been buddies for 20 years, poker bros for 15. He was MC at my wedding. I will be forever saddened not to see that smirk when he takes my money or to hear his “Tony Copp, what’s shakin’ brother” when I called him up. Mark J, I love you and you will be missed. May all of us get through the loss of one of the kindest souls I have ever known, my love an prayers go out to his family and all of his friends.

Brian and family,

I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you.

I went to school with Mark and we touched base occasionally since. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. My love and thoughts are with you

MJ will be missed immensely by all who know him. He could light up any room with his positive energy. My wife, dog, and kids all loved him just as much as his friends did. My condolences to his entire family.
