I have called you brother because you reminded me of mine so much. That was back when we first met in 1989. I have thought of you like that ever since. What an awe inspiring man you were. Just an all around good human being and good example to others. I will forever be honored to have had our paths cross and to have called you friend. You have touched so many lives and you will be so missed. The Hardee Family will continue praying for your precious wife and daughters. Fly high Mark, we will all hold you in our hearts forever.

I am truly saddened to hear about Mark's passing. I consider myself fortunate to have worked alongside Mark at Brunswick County EMS during my tenure as Emergency Services Director. Mark did his best to make Brunswick County better for everyone, and his sense of humor made an otherwise difficult job bearable. My heart goes out to his family and friends at this challenging time. I hope you find peace and comfort in one another.
Sincerely,

Gina my heart aches for the loss of an awesome man. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Marks leaves a large void in the lives of many people. We have many memories that we all hold dear. The many meals cooked and shared. The many mission trips. When things settle down some go on line and listen to the song " Jealous of the Angels" by Donna Taggart. I'm here if you or the girls need anything. Love to all
