Jim and I worked with Mark for many years at Rick Hendrick Chev.and you also Penny,what fun we had. He will be truley missed so much. Jim did get to see him a few weeks ago and he is so thankful. My last memory Penny is you and Mark dancing at one of Rick Hendrick's Christmas Party's having so much fun all dressed up.
I pray that the good Lord up above will put his arms around you and the children and comfort you all.
You're so lucky to have had such a wonderful husband and father, those memories will all ways be with you.

Through the good times and the bad times the love is still there and it will never go away. You will have him with you always and the memories of all the good times you shared together will remain in your hearts and minds forever...Your family is in my thoughts and prayers, from one baseball family to another my heart goes out to you and if you need anything please let us know.

Dear Penny and precious children-I just heard the news today, and I am greatly saddened for you and your family. I am so shocked, and at a loss for words. I never got to meet your husband, but it sounds like he was a terrific man. I can't imagine what you and your children are going through. Please know if there is anything I or my husband, Roger, can do for you or your kids, please let us know. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, and I just can't put into words how much I feel for all of you at this time. Please let us know if we can help. With deepest sympathy-Mona, Roger, and Tyler Horton

I just saw Mark a few weeks ago, and thought how great he looked. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Father and friend, and I know what a huge weight has been cast on his wife's shoulders. I pray for your family and ask God to ease thier pain and to lift them up as they begin to heal.

Sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your family.

I was a childhood friend of Mark's. I moved to Columbia and had not seen him in many years. I attended the funeral today and listening to the many people who spoke about him reminded me of why he and I were good friends as kids. We were both cut ups, loved having fun and never missed a good time. I am saddened that I didn't see him before he passed. I am certain we will meet again for more laughs, fun and mischief.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can never seem to find the right words at a time like this In time God will heal your hearts. In the meantime know that there are many friends and family available for whatever needs you may have. Please don't hesitate to let us know what we can do for you. Much love and prayers

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Praying for your family.

My thoughts go out to the Morris family. I grew up with Mark, but had not seen him in years. Penny, I met you the other day at Senor Tequila's and gave you my number. Please call if you need to talk and I am so, so very sorry for your lost. May God Bless you and your family!

We enjoyed your laughter and pure heart. May God bless your family!

This is to "Pooh-ney"

It's been a long time since we saw you, but we will never forget the good times we had, remember the toilet tissue days? Oh, better yet...the egg days.(Until we almost got caught by your dad). We'll all be together someday again with more fun to come.


To the entire Morris family our prayers are with you all. Keep your faith in God and he will get you through this.

Sincerely,
Karen Kennedy Leach

My condolences go out to all of you at this time. I worked with Mark at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet and attended Middleton with him. He truly was an all around nice guy! His memories will live on through his children, family and friends.
May God Bless All of You At This Time!

Lacey, Misty, Rhonda, and the 3 cute little kids that I met years ago with Rhonda,friends and family, my heartfelt sympathy is with you today and will be forever. It is never easy loosing a loved one, especially someone so young and full of life.If there is any comfort in this, just know that he has gone to a better place than we are, just waiting for the rest of his family & friends to join him at a later time.Lacey, I'm sure your daddy is so proud of you(as we all are) for taking the big steps that you have recently. He will always be looking down on you, so keep making him proud and take care of those 3 precious kids, as I'm sure they look up to you already! I only remember Mark from years ago, growing up around the corner! My younger sister, Juli Johnson(Smith)(who passed away 10/14/08) and my brother Jimmy Johnson used to hang out and probably misbehaved with Johnny,Mark and the rest of the gang.
I know that your pain will be tremendous for a while, but in time, you will realize that it is Mark that is in the better place. This doesn't mean that you won't think about him, remember things about him, and wish that he were here to talk to. Never forget his name, speak of him often, try to remember all the GOOD things and God will walk you through the rest of your journey.I am sorry I could not be with yall at this time, but please know that you are in my heart, thoughts and prayers, and hopefully soon, I will be able to come around.Always keep this thought, you never know when or who, but we walk with angels everyday.
My love to all of you,
Linda Lilley (Johnson!!) Price

My thoughts and prayers to the Morris family. Mark was a great friend and colleague...he will be sadly missed...Johnny y'all call me if I can do anything for you...

Penny, I cannot begin to express how truly sorry I am. I first met Mark at Norman and Stacey's wedding and then had the honor to be at your wedding. I really enjoyed working with him all those years and being his friend outside the dealership. We had alot of fun, playing basketball, golf and just spending time around him and your entire family. He had an infectious laugh and always had a smile and something funny to say. He was a GREAT father and a GREAT person, I will truly miss him. Please know that Lisa and I will be praying for you and your family. If there is anything you ever need, please know that we are here. We Love you VERY much.

I grew up with Mark and had the pleasure of having him as my friend for 27 years. Along the way, I shared huge amounts of laughter and the joys and pride of fatherhood, which he took very seriously. I will always remember him taking his boys and joining my kids and wife for a braves game. He even shared private jokes and nicknames with my kids who will always remember him with affection. My whole family is distraught and saddened beyond words. Mark will always be in our hearts and his contagious smile will stay with us forever.

To Penny, Josh, Mattie, and Jake,

Please know you are not alone as you walk this path. You have many friends who are here for you and will help you get through one minute, hour, day at a time. Lean on your friends...let them help you any way they can. God Bless You and know that you are NEVER ALONE!

Much Love,

The Ruff Family

Poony, thank you for being my friend. Your smile, character & personality was always fun to be around. Your one-liners and your nicknames for people will continue on. I love you my friend and will see you again one day.. P.S. You are probably already making deals in Heaven....

My deepest sympathy to the Morris family. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Penny, let me first say how much we all are hurting right now becuase of your loss. I don't need to tell you how much I love you and Mark and the kids because you already know. Part of me is missing because he is gone. It was an honor and a blessing to have him as my best friend for the past 19 years. We "grew up" in the car business together. I've been thinking of all the great times we had together and I realize just how lucky we were to have Mark in our lives. God has an awesome way of yoking people together to help them navigate life. I will miss him calling me "Bateman", and that nonstop smile and laugh. Even more I will miss his phone calls during the workday when we would talk just because we could. Beverley and I will always be there for anything you need. I pray that God would pour out his Grace and peace on you and the kids and give you his strength to draw upon. I will miss Mark, his friendship, his smile, and his presence in my life.

Mark,you are a good and true friend,and we shared many a laugh,a cocktail and a good cigar while golfing.This is one Yankee that will truly miss you....see you later beau Jim Starr

I went to school with Mark and had the honor of working with him at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet for many years. Words simply cannot express all the lives Mark touched in so many glorious ways. My prayers and thoughts will always remain for the wonderful family he left us.
