Mark Waterman Family fund

Donation protected
We have started this fundraiser in order to raise money for the widow and children of our brother Mark Waterman.
This will be to assist with upcoming expenses in the near future as they re-learn how to continue life without their beloved husband and father.   
Mark was taken from us unexpectedly in a logging accident, leaving behind three children, a wife, and his brothers and sisters. Mark was born into a long family line of loggers.  His father Timothy Marcus Waterman was also killed in a logging accident, leaving behind a daughter, and two sons, one of those being the unborn Mark.
He grew up in Coos County, leaving an impression wherever he went. As a young adult he left his hometown, starting the next journey of his life.   On his way he had his first son, Timothy Marcus Waterman and eventually met the love of his life Barbara.
They were two peas in a pod, sticking together through thick and thin.  Together they had a daughter Hailey and a few years later son Kaleb.  Mark and Barbara decided to settle their family where he knew they belonged, back home. They made a home together near his family in Myrtle Point. 
Mark continued to do what he loved, which was logging. He was among the best of them, a hard worker.  Mark gave his all to the job he loved. Mark was an outspoken individual, he was sure to let you know what was on his mind and how he felt.  He made sure his siblings knew he loved and appreciated them. He made sure his wife and children knew they were loved and supported by him.
Our hearts ache over this tragic loss, he had so much left to look forward to. He was an avid fisherman, now his sons can not look forward to fishing with their father.  His daughter won't have her dad to walk her down the isle, and Barbara will not get the dream they had to buy a spot of land and retire  happily together.
When around Mark you never felt anything but welcomed. He has left behind him a legacy, and a pair of boots that can never be filled.
