Mark's Celebration of Life was last night and was well attended. All his old friends showed up. Like you would imagine, it was full of tears but also lots of laughs remembering the wonderful guy Mark was.

I posted this on my FB page...

I lost a great friend last week, my oldest friend on the planet, actually, Mark Stewart.

We moved in next door to the Stewarts in the mid-60's and connected right away because we had the same first name, always cool when you're nine.

But it was soon cemented for life when we found out my full name was Mark Hopkins and his was Mark Hopkins Stewart! So weird.

He was the cool Mark, the one I looked up to, a rock and roll drummer, a model builder, athlete, we played together on the Whitehall Little League Bears for two years.

He was a music maniac who always had the new albums before anyone else did and would play them on the enormous Magnavox console stereo in their living room on volume ten! This was the 60's so LOTS of loud new music then, Hendrix, Cream, Led Zeppelin, the greats.

In later years, Mark would become a successful business owner, avid racecar fan and ATV enthusiast. He was a world traveler and all round lover of life.

Mark had an enormous impact on my life. When I moved back to Ohio from California in 1983 and had no idea what I was going to do, he offered to let me live in his basement until I got back on my feet, a full year. That gave me the time I needed to get my act together, get back to school and figure things out. It has made all the difference.

I always felt like he was the older brother I never had and we all love him more that we can say. Happy trails, friend. We miss you.
