I had the honor to work closely with Mark for a little while and know how truly devoted he was to his family and to making the world a better place.

"I’m very sad to hear of Mark’s passing. I worked with Mark briefly while covering the Insight account a few years back. Mark was a great person and from our small conversations a great dad. Our hearts and prayers will be forever with you."

"To the McGrath Family- My heart is so heavy as I just learned of Mark’s passing. He was a wonderful guy who truly lit up the room when he walked in. There was no mistaking when Mark was in the house! I had not seen him in years, but will remember him for always making me laugh and having a truly big heart.

"I am so sad & sorry to hear about Mark’s passing and for your loss. His laugh, smile, and friendship will be remembered forever at Groves. I think he taught us all something and shared a part of himself that we will never forget."

"The only way I can reconcile this incredible loss is that God must’ve been in need of a leader among his flock of angels. Words cannot express my gratitude for having had the opportunity to be led by and work with Mark. He was proof that a leader could lead while genuinely caring for the many employees he oversaw. He provided great personal and professional advice and was one of my biggest advocates. I’ll always remember how he led by example and could get inspire his troops to do make the impossible possible. I’ll miss randomly running into him at The Perk, but mostly my heart goes out to your family. You all are and will continue to be in my family’s prayers for peace and understanding during such a diffucult time....God bless."

"I only met Mark a couple of times when he spent some time with us here at Arrow S3. I remember how impressive he was and how enthusiastic he seemed. It was clear then that he had a love for his family and the life he had built. I can’t imagine why he was taken from he wife and sons so soon - I can’t reconcile it. I do know that he will be as much a vibrant angel in Heaven as he was a man on this earth. My condolences for Mark’s family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all."

"My dear April, I cannot find the right words that expresses what I wish to say to you right now. But do know that I cherish the time that Mark and I worked together. We were more than boss and secretary, we were truly friends. Mark was such a wonderful person and he added sunshine to a gloomy day. I sit here now and reflect on his healthy laugh. Be assured that I can never forget you, Tommy, and Jack and the entire family will forever be in my heart and prayers. I love you all!"

"Mark will be missed in so many ways...his love of life, his great big laughter, and his kindness and closeness to all of his many great friends and family. I am proud to have known him for so long, and to have spent many days getting to know him with our collective group of friends in Atlanta. It was also great to get to see him when he spent holidays with his father in Palm Springs. It is a great tragedy to have lost such a special man so early in life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. I so wanted to be there today to remember him, and relive those great days we all had with him throughout our times at Miami, and those in Atlanta. He will be missed in so many ways. Liza"

"Dear April, Your husband was a great man! I was not on a management team, executive team..just a regular employee aligned to his organization. However; he treated me with the same kindness and respect. It has been over ten years now since I was an IBMer but it seems like yesterday when he would comment to his Asst. Denise McCaskill and I ...."HEAR COMES TROUBLE" and we would all burst into a laugh. I will miss his big smile and true heart. Agape Love to you and the family"

"Dear April, Tom & Jack, There are no words. Truly. How can it be? In what universe does this make sense, that a man so full of life and joy, so exuberant and kind and filled with goodness, with such an easy laugh and a big, never ending smile, wise, too... perceptive and thoughtful and caring, how can it be. Oh, we will miss him and we are hurt because you are.
