We appreciate the prayers for us as we navigate this inconceivable loss.
I had the great privilege of working alongside Mark for almost 15 years—first at BackWeb, then at Brightspark, and finally at NRX. I always enjoyed our interactions; he was a genuinely interesting person to talk to, and I learned a great deal from him about so many different things—whether it was personal investments, house-hunting, or even how to play poker. I am very grateful to have known Mark. He truly was one of the most gentle, intelligent, and fun people I have ever worked with. May he rest in peace. He will stay forever in my heart and in my prayers.
Thank you Yuri. He certainly left a deep impact on the lives of many.
I got to know Mark mainly through my brother Mike who was good friends with him. I had the pleasure of being his hockey coach together with my brother when they were about 11 years old. Even back then, it was clear what an intelligent, kind individual Mark was. My deepest condolences and may he rest in peace.
