Goodnight, Kracker...

It's with a very heavy heart that I want to let the members of the forum know that Mark (Kracker), a long-time and valuable member of this site died earlier tonight.

He will be missed by many of us who knew him on the old TCC. I know firsthand how tirelessly he worked for this forum in staff capacity. His support in contributing to the online forum and his presence at west-end meets made him truly memorable. Those who knew him will be sad that he died, those of us who knew him well will feel a strong sense of loss.

No arrangements have been announced at this time.

Wow wtf...

Thats sudden. R.I.P. Very quiet person but looked healthy.

Eerie feeling when someone you've met; who is young, dies. Major buzz kill right now...going to wrench on my Del Sol out of respect for a fellow car enthusiast.

Sad story. I only knew him from the boards (was he on h-t too? swear I've seen him there before... spaced out like "K R A C K E R"?)

May he rest in peace.
My condolences to his friends and family...seemed like a good guy.

Mark suffered with serious illnesses for a long time. He wasn't one to really complain or talk much about it, many people never even knew how very sick he was.

Visitation took place in Mississauga Sept 26th & 27th, the funeral was on the 27th. The Toronto Star carried the obituary and online condolences guest book.

It's good to read the comments above and the tributes people have written--the good memories they have of Markus. He is missed.
