MARKI know there are many tribute/dedication/memorial pieces out there, and I'd be happy to feature them here, if you just let me know about them. In the Meantime, I found this GLORIOUS piece, just today, (Tues. 10/9/2012) that just BEGS to be shown...
Please give the artist some love for her awesome, breathtaking image...

and some others I have found

from Mark's brother, Simon

and a few from the Mark's Memorial folder in :iconfractalphiles:

Tribute to a fallen comrade

"Turn on, tune in, drop out"

As most of you know by now, our community has lost a dear friend and wonderful artist
who always had kind words and support for everyone of us who knew him.
Rest in peace Mark, you will be sorely missed my friend!!

        "I felt the call of the jungle, primal and clean.
         I felt my connections to the wild in every cell in my body;
         realized that I am among the trees,

Very sad news to all of Marks friends. (Kram666)I visited Marks homepage and discovered this message left by his brother.
"This is Simon, Mark's brother, with the terribly sad news that Mark passed away last week.
This was a huge shock to us all.
I helped him set up his PC with all his drawing tools so knew how much he adored producing his bespoke digital artwork and how much the Deviant art community meant to him.
On his behalf I'd like to thank you all for the friendship and support you've shown and would ask you to pause for a minute at 14:20 on Monday 1st October. (British Summer Time)
With Kind Regards.
Simon."
As Mark often quoted.
        "I felt the call of the jungle, primal and clean.
         I felt my connections to the wild in every cell in my body;
         realized that I am among the trees,
         the plants, the grass, the sky. The trees know

Mark's Coffinby ~Simon-Marks-Brother

Photography / People & Portraits / Expressive

Thank you all again for your kindest of wishes.
The funeral went very well today with the non-religious celebrant doing a fantastic job of capturing Mark's essence in some beautiful words.
I choose the music: Golden Brown - The Stranglers as Mark was brought in followed by Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones during a the slideshow of 25 of his artwork and pictures. Reward - The Teardrop Explodes was played during a pause for reflection and finally on our exit, Born To Be Wold - Steppenwolf. Everyone agreed that it ewes great music and Mark would have loved it.
As followers of Mark's work I think you'd all be interested to see what we did for Mark's coffin, so I've added the images on my page from the company that produced it using the artwork and Photos I provided from Mark's work. Again, he would have loved it and it was a fitting testament to Mark and his passions in life.
Please place any comments on Mark's deviantART page.
Thanks.
Simon & family.

I never knew he was a Wheeler. My children and Grandchildren are Wheelers. My first husband was Wheeler. He had brothers, Jack, George and David, sister Anne. Fred their father was from Dublin. They lost touch with George... He lived in the South of England...

It was really beautiful what you did for your brother Simon. Perfect really. Maybe a small smoke afterwards...

Maybe in a while we can discuss the Wheelers to see if there is any connection...

Please keep in touch Simon.
