You were a great friend and always there for anyone who needed you. May GOD rest your soul. 

Mark,
It hurts us to see you leave so soon, but it's comforting to know that we had a true friend in you. Most people can go through life never really knowing what a true friend is, that is not the case for my family because of you. My heart and our prayers go out to your family, friends and loved ones you left behind. To lose someone so unique as you were is very painful. The only solution to that kind of heartache is prayer, so that is what my family and I are doing for your loved ones. I also want to add that we are grateful for the service you and your fellow soldiers gave for us and this nation. You will never be forgotten my friend. Until we meet again.
Rico Blanco,Saul Blanco and The Blanco Family.

Mark,
I am truly sorry I didn’t make it to your funeral service my friend. I prayed on it and I asked God if instead, I can just keep all the beautiful memories I have of you in my heart. Seeing you passed on, just didn’t fit and God said, “ It was ok.” I also prayed to God and asked if he would be with all of those who are heart saddened for you today. Those like your loving parents, your beautiful wife, your wonderful brothers, your whole amazing family, and last but not least, all of us, awesome friends you left behind. We are all hurt because we loved you. Now on the bright side of things, I heard that Angels were God’s soldiers. On Memorial Day we remember our fallen soldiers. You left this world that day and because God knew you were a true Hero, he took you to stand next to him in the front line in the Kingdom of Heaven where you were needed like all the others just like you. My friend, now that is what I call one Amazing Accomplishment and I can just picture what a wonderful celebration there was in Heaven that day. From now on, every Memorial Day, you will never be forgotten, but instead remembered for the wonderful man and hero you were here on earth and now the hero you are in Heaven. Just for awhile, goodbye my friend, we will all see each other one day.

Si cierro los ojos puedo verte como si no te hubieras ido, eras  mi mundo y mucho más que eso … 
Te llevo en lo más profundo de mi ser , tu estarás presente en cada día de mi vida , cuando llore, cuando reía y donde quiera que vaya te llevare conmigo , mi amigo de risa y disparates mi cómplice de vida te has ido muy rápido , solo quiero decirte  que te extraño con toda mi alma .🕊


Marcos was an amazing person..very smart...and so kind...you will never be forgotten....Friends forever...rip...

2009ish Marco and I in the skybox at NRG watching the Ramone Ayala concert. Best friend a guy ever had. I'm a better man for having known Marco. I will hold a spot for him in my heart till the day I die. Adios mi Amigo.

Cuñado: primero que nada quisiera darle gracias a Dios por darme la dicha de conocerte, y darte las gracias a ti, por ser el mejor cuñado, por cuidarme como lo hacías y apoyarme en todo momento y considerarme una hermana. Gracias por amar tanto a Zoe y ser un excelente tío para ella. Gracias ser el mejor hermano para Ricardo, por quererlo y cuidarlo como lo hacías. Te vamos a extrañar muchísimo, pero nos queda el consuelo que un día nos volveremos a encontrar. Nos dejaste tantos hermosos recuerdos, me va a quedar muy presente cuando me hablabas por teléfono y me decias “cuñada está en su casa?”
Te quiero mucho cuñado! 🕊💙

Hoy toca despedir un gran ser humano, en este viaje no te podemos acompañar, pero algun dia nos reuniremos todos y gozaremos la presencia de Nuestro Señor Padre Celestial, me quedo con los buenos recuerdos de tu linda forma de ser que nos dejas, de tu cariño apesar del tiempo y la distancia. Este no es el final, es el principio de tu nueva vida : "Yo soy la resurrección y la vida; el que cree en mi, aunque esté muerto, vivirá ." --Juan  11:25

Marco was truly a family man. He wanted to let everyone know he was thinking of them when we took this. 

Marco acting like a prince. He was always there to help lighten the day.

Primo es difícil de aceptar tu partida, pero se que estas descansando, gracias por todos esos momentos de felicidad que nos regalaste, hoy eh perdido un compadre, un primo, un hermano,pero sobre todo un gran amigo del alma, me vas hacer mucha falta pero estoy agradecido con Dios por que permitió conocernos y pasar bellos momentos que atesoraré con el Alma.  Descansa en Paz !❤️

Se que tengo un angel hermoso que me guiara en el camino, que me protegera y aunque aun te extraño mucho se que estas en un lugar mejor, es dificil explicar con palabras lo valioso que fuiste , siempre tus ganas de salir adelante , Dios te conceda la Paz Eterna. Sé que un día nos volveremos a encontrar mi cielo. 🤍

Me hiciste reír, me secaste las lagrimas, me abrazabas  muy fuerte, me viste fallar,me echabas porras, me regañabas,me consentías , me ayudabas a mantenerme fuerte, mi corazón todavía te busca, pero mi alma sabe que estás en paz mi amor y con lágrimas y un nudo en la garganta te digo vuela alto mi rey, yo se que desde el cielo me sonríes .. tuve la dicha de conocerte , siempre pensé que estaríamos juntos hasta el final de nuestros días , Aunque no podré verte envejecer, en mi corazón siempre vivirá el recuerdo de nuestro amor . 
Con amor tu esposa . 

Marco was my best friend. He is my sons God-Father. He was very proud when I asked him to be his God-Father. I had to ask Marco because there was nobody that I have met that I could trust with my life or the life of my only son. We shook on it and had a beer and a shot of tequila to seal the deal. I love Marco like a brother and I always will. One day we will all be together again.  

On November 2, 2005 our convoy was attacked by IED's and small arms fire. The explosions rocked our Humvee's. We returned fire and laid waste to the countryside. Marco and I were gunners and we did our job and saved lives. It was one of the most critical attacks we faced and Marco had my back and I had his. Best friend a guy ever had.

Conosi a marcos por mi amiga Angie. Marcos siempre fue una persona muy sonriente ,sonreía mucho con todos y muy amable persona. Fue el mejor esposo que mi amiga Angie pudo tener..mi más sentido pésame para toda la familia en especial para mi amiga Angie… que dios lo tenga en su santa gloria🙏🙏

I knew Marco, since we were kids. Best type of friend anyone can have. A beautiful, kind, and loving  person in and out.  He was a true friend. “My favorite soldier”, I used to say to him. May God be with his family in this time.
