<div>On January 24th, the Holt-Carson family suffered a sudden tragedy. Our dear friend, Mark Holt, had a massive heart attack on January 15, which damaged his heart irreparably and caused a stroke a few days later. The family then found out he was an organ donor and had to wait three more days to let him go. He died a hero.

</div>

<div>For over 11 years, Mark was the most loving and supportive partner to Teri. He loved his son Moises with all his heart. As a sound artist, he was also a generous member of the Chicago art community, founding Intersect, an art space to support time-based artists in Chicago.

</div>

</div>

<div>Mark was bigger than life, incredibly creative, curious, talented, and kind. He especially loved to make people happy with his food. Those of us who knew him will have to go without his energy, goofiness, warmth, enthusiasm, and his bright blue eyes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With all of the emotional pain and stress that tragedy brings, Teri had to forgo her teaching artist jobs this semester. As a disabled person, it will take some time for Teri to be able to pay the bills on her own.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Teri will need as much support as possible as she navigates through the difficult days, weeks and months that lie ahead and it is our sincerest hope that the funds raised through this campaign will be a small step in providing that for her. Please consider donating, if you are able and moved to do so, and please share the fundraiser with your friends and family as well. Thank you for your generosity, your kindness, and care of Teri. Please continue to keep her in your prayers along with her family, friends and loved ones.
