Mark was the reason I got into music. Growing up, we listened to music together, went to concerts, and were always going on adventures. A couple of years ago, just the two of us went to a Train concert that I’ll never forget. Mark loved anime, music, and most of all, his kids—Lucy (8), Brendan (15), and Damien (19). His children were his world, and he was an amazing dad and brother.

On Friday, Mark was hit by a car while walking. He was only 40 years old. Our family is heartbroken, and we’re raising money to help with his funeral expenses and to support his children as they face this unimaginable loss. The funds will go toward funeral costs, supporting Mark’s kids, and any other expenses that might come up during this difficult time.

Thank you so much for all of your support. Every donation, no matter the size, will help our family and Mark’s children. Mark was truly one of a kind, and he will be greatly missed.l

I am Marks younger sister Kristen. I am helping my Mom Robin Madsen raise the funds for my brothers funeral.
