Here are a few words from our volunteers that show just a few ways that Mark made a huge impact on both our mission and our personal lives.

Mark was always willing to help and added fun and an incredible wealth of knowledge to our flight booking chat group. It won’t be the same without him.

Mark was such a passionate, enthusiastic person, so dedicated to engendering positive social change, obviously loving the opportunities he had to explore the world, helping people.  I’m glad I had a chance to meet him in March. He’s going to be hugely missed everywhere.
-Annette

I met Mark in Tibet a few years ago. He was open, incredibly giving, selfless, and had a giant (literally and figuratively) zest for life. He was the kind of person who invited you to his parents’ for Thanksgiving because you were new in town without family; over turkey, I found that many of his own family had gotten used to many strangers-turned-friends in their home because of his big heart. He also introduced me – and many others – to Miles4Migrants, as a function of his love for travel and commitment to equality and justice. He loved food and puns and was great at both. He was an inspiration all-around to live fully, live well and live selflessly.

I’m at a loss for words. I remember when he came to Austin to compete in a pun competition – I wished I knew him more.
