MARK DUNNING

HELLO, MY NAME IS HAROLD SMITHEMAN. I HAVE BEEN IN OR ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOVING INDUSTRY SINCE THE EARLY 80'S

I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE KNOWN SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE IN AND ASSOCIATED TO THIS INDUSTRY.

I HAVE KNOWN MARK DUNNING SINCE 1988 WHEN HE DONATED TO HELP MY FAMILY OUT AFTER MY WIFES' TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM BEFORE HE DONATED. THAT SHOWS WHAT KIND OF A GUY MARK WAS.

I CREATED A GO FUND ME BACK IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR TO HELP MARK WITH FINANCES WHILE HE WAS IN HOSPITAL FIGHTING MULTIPLE MYELOMA.

THE GO FUND ME WAS A TOTAL BUST, WITH VERY LITTLE SUPPORT FROM THE MOVING INDUSTRY, AND IT WAS IN THE SUMMER WHILE EVERYONE WAS BUSY AND MAKING MONEY.

I AM AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN WHY SO FEW PEOPLE HELPED MARK, WHEN MARK WAS ABLE HE WOULD HELP ANYONE.

HE HAD BEEN LIVING IN HIS TRUCK PREVIOUSLY AND ONCE HE WAS IN HOSPITAL HIS TRUCK WAS GONE.

ONE DAY WHEN I SPOKE WITH HIM HE EXPECTED TO WALK OUT OF THE HOSPITAL IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. UNFORTUNATELY THAT WASN'T IN THE PLAN.

MARK PASSED AWAY ON OCTOBER 12 2024 AT THE PETER LOUGHEED HOSPITAL IN CALGARY AT THE AGE OF 63.

UNFORTUNATELY NO ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE FOR HIS UNEXPECTED DEMISE.

HIS SISTER WHO HASN'T SEEN MARK IN 10 YEARS RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE HOSPITAL WANTING TO KNOW WHAT THE PLAN FOR MARK'S BODY WAS.

HE HAS BEEN LANGUISHING IN THE HOSPITALS' MORGUE SINCE HE PASSED.

SHE WILL NEED SOME FINANCIAL HELP TO BE ABLE TO LAY MARK TO REST PROPERLY.

PLEASE DIG DEEP TO HELP MARK TO BE LAID TO REST WITH DIGNITY.
