Mitchell Marks Celebration Of Life
Donation protected
Hello everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to read about our story.
On September 11th, 2022, an unexpected tragedy struck the Marks family. Mitchell Marks tragically passed away in the early hours of his 27th birthday. For his immediate family, Gary (father), Jeni (mother), Jordan (brother) and Maddy (sister), this has been a roller coaster ride and completely unexpected.
The Marks family has always been my second family. When I met Jordan, they took me in as their own, and Mitchell quickly became like a little brother to me. He had a smile that could light up a room and a silver tongue to go along, so you always knew when Mitchell was around. We all felt his deep passion for music, sports, his friends, and his family. Losing anyone is hard, especially at the young age of 27. Mitchell had so much left to give to this earth, and now it is on us that knew him best to continue his memory and celebrate his life and all the lives he touched.
This is a financial burden that no one should ever bear, so I am starting this in hopes that people will feel inclined to help a family that means so much to me in a time of need. Jordan, Mitchell's older brother and best friend, insisted that he take care of this, but I can't let him take it all on himself. I am asking for whatever donation you can provide to help us send Mitchell off the right way.
His celebration of life will take place on Sunday, September 25th at 2pm. The event will take place at 15243 NE Countryside Dr Aurora, OR 97002. The name of the venue is "The Barn at Countryside".
My sincerest thank you's,
