It was a true pleasure to swim alongside you and a joy to watch your incredible progress in triathlon. Your warmth, kindness, and camaraderie were deeply felt at every Friday club swim, and your absence is profoundly missed. You were a decent human being and an all-around good chap-a rare and cherished soul. Rest in peace.

Mark, our dear friend, you are sorely missed and there will never a moment when we don't think of you with much joy, love and fond memories of our brief time on this earth with you. We enjoyed 20 years of your friendship but another 20 years would still have been too short. RIP dear friend.

When you join a club for an activity that you enjoy doing, you are likely to meet people who share your interests and with whom it's easy to get along. Even among this friendly bunch, Mark still stood out as one of the most likeable and enthusiastic members of the Tri2o. I was in awe of his determination to work on his fitness and skills to qualify for big events. I will miss him.

Having got to know Mark a long time ago (through a friend) - I was so shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. Although his commitment to triathlon made it both easier and more difficult to make sense of, I will remain a massive admirer of what Mark did un the sport and try and use it as motivation for myself. Mark was such a friendly, generous person to me from the off that i send my sincere condolences to all the friends and family affected so severely by his loss.

It was a pleasure to meet and train with you Mark! An inspirational athlete and all round lovely bloke I always enjoyed chatting to. The last time I saw you was volunteering at Reading tri, selflessly giving up your time to help others. Taken far too young, but doing the sport you loved!
