A couple of years ago, our PALS CanMark asked me to announce here on ALSforums if and when he opted to leave the Earth. A few weeks later, he decided to stay with the rest of us mortals.
Mark lived with ALS about four years, surrounded by friends and family, who visited often. He enjoyed visiting movie festivals and reviewed all the latest movies for us on Facebook. He was such a special Star Wars fan that the cast and crew sent him a poster signed by JJ Abrams and others.
Everyone loved him. He shared every challenge with us, and was honest about the good and bad times. He truly was an inspiration to everyone he touched.
A few months ago, breathing became more difficult, although he still could speak. A couple of weeks ago, he was taken to hospital for breathing issues. I have read today that Mark passed away Monday morning.
