I've a confession. I'm a retired opera singer who could care less about tractors, or ANY kind of DIY. I just love spending time with you and your whole family. From your great uncle Floyd all the way down to your little ones, you have an impact on my life. Being with you is a total privilege. Your humanity, your willingness to be real, your just plain "Mark Carrikerness." We love YOU Mark.
I will Always Regret not Having the opportunity to Meet You or be Near You as a Friend! I used to believe People were Overrated and not as good as we have been led to believe! You have Changed that! You Lived to Restore that Tractor and Your Mission has been Interrupted! Take what time is Left and Comfort Your Family! I am 72 yo and look up to you for You Optimism, Faith and Strength! I would be proud to call You "Son". I battled My own bout with Stage 4 Cancer in 1972! The Changes that makes in Your Life are Astronomical! Your Drive, Your Will Power and Compassio skyrocket to the Top! I see that in You! May God be with You and My Prayers will Contiue feverishly! Bless You, My Friend!
My husband and I drove to a Meet and Greet in Killeen TX 3 years ago and met Mark. He radiated joy and has a strong loving heart full of love you can see in his eyes. It's an honor to know him.
"Sorry not sorry." 🤣 Damn right man, you've got nothing to be apologizing for! You may not be the one finishing that tractor, but you are the one who got the process started! Every project and team has to start somewhere!
No apologies needed Mark!! This cancer you're going through breaks my heart. My continued prayers for you and your family. 🙏 My love to you y'all as well!! You are an AMAZING man Mark!! 💜🙏💞☮️
I can't imagine these long hellish days walking in circle in your garage unable to even sit due to the pain watching yourself being eaten away by some demonic disease. He kept a brave face all the way through, such a warrior, an inspiration to anyone facing any kind of battle in life. Thanks for keeping the videos up these are teaching moments.
98% of us didn't donate to see a tractor. I know nothing of tractors. I donated to share in your life. I struggle sometimes with feeling like a voyeur, but the humanity you personally restored to a great many of us may be the legacy you will not live to see but I promise to carry your goodness with honor.
Agreed. Watching Mark's strength and wit through all of this makes me strive to be a better person. He's shown me it's not what I'm going thru that matters but rather how I can be the best person possible despite it.
AMEN, I'm pleased to know that he does Believe in GOD and he knows where he'll be going. I also Love the fact that he keeps his channel Family Friendly. Who doesn't love this.
"Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends! ... And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:4--- Stay strong Mark. Don't worry, the Lord is watching. He sees your struggle and your deeds, and he will take care of it all. 🙏💪
My wife was diagnosed with Leukemia about a year ago and we have been fighting it ever since. Watching you go through this hell of a nasty ride, makes me think of how life is unfair to some people - some good people - some people who absolutely don't one bit deserve any of this. I'm sure I'm preaching to the wrong person, but keep up that positivity. keep up that amazing attitude, and don't you ever give up. doing so you have accomplished 50% of the job. You and my wife have both given me the opportunity how simple and fragile life is and how to really appreciate every moment to the fullest and be grateful of the simplest to the most complex things you have in your life. My thoughts are with you from Toronto we pass on our love, positivity and encouragement to battle this together. Peace upon you friend!
I learned about you from Stephen Cox. I rarely have any time off, but I found myself at home alone this morning. Rain has shut us down so I was going to catch up our own RUclips channel, editing and such. Now I’ve invested several hours in getting to know you and what a good, Godly, strong father and husband you are. You are an inspiration to so many, even though you are going through something that most of us could never imagine. You are in my prayers. God bless you and your family.
I found your channel through your brother, and my heart breaks for you and your family. Your choice is hard, and I applaud you for your fight as long as you did, and making the best memories for your kids as possible. Keep doing you, and stay strong. Fuck Cancer.
Mark, you sweet and caring man, I come to you to see you, and support you.♥️. Your tractor will be amazing! Because of the foundation YOU’VE built it on. You are literally on my mind every day. I want you to do what you need to do. Never apologize to your people for what you have to do. We get it Mark. I pray your pain lessens and you find peace. We’ve never met, but I love you Mark. You have become a friend to me and I will always hold you near to my heart. ♥️
Larry Hobbs it’s just cruel especially knowing how many truly awful people deserve to die! And there’s this young amazing family man who has so much left to offer this world and contribute who is going thru this and doesn’t deserve it
They will do you proud! The tractor already has your heart and soul in it...you are a part of it even if you can’t finish it. Now you can focus on your other special projects you are working on..those gifts you are making. I pray for you every day....pray that you are able to manage your pain and that can do what you want and need to do with the time you have. You are inspiring!
My heart goes out to you and your family and friends; its a hard road living with cancer for everyone involoved. But documenting it will help your kids later as well so they know the fight you faught. As for the tractor its wonderful that your friends are going to help out by finishing it. I had a wonderful friend who was in the middle of restoring a 65 malibu when he was diagnosised with ALS and his friends stepped in and met at his house once a week until it was fully restored. So be grateful for all those who love you and know they will take care of your family after this is all over for you. Continued prayers for pain relief.
Oh Mark, I hope you get to see the tractor built, but take it easy man, spend your time with your babies and your amazing wife and family! Please hug them all tight and rest up and chill for the time you have left before god takes you to be pain free and you can watch over them every day x (ugh I'm in tears now) i felt that sadness and pain in your voice, god bless hun hugs from london uk.
Your are soo strong! Watching episode after episode here on YT and being so amazed by your strength. You are such a huge inspiration to many people. Praying for you and your family. Praying that your pain will be bearable for you. Hugs from Sweden ❤
I'm a cancer survivor myself. I grappled with this same choice of to continue or not. It broke me I lost all hope, clearly your faith allowed you to proceed with this choice with dignity. Truly inspiring thank you for sharing.
Man, I don’t know you, I don’t watch channels with content that has to do with cars, sports, or anything particularly “manly”. I don’t know how or why you have come up in my recommendations so many times but it’s been pretty consistent for the last few months. You are so good looking, btw. Lucky wifey 😉. You break my heart and then bring it back up all in the same video. I wish I had the power to take your pain away. I’d do it in heartbeat. I’d do it for the love you have for life and your family. I hope, I PRAY, something so good happens to you. Whether that’s a cure or a period of complete calm and painless last days for you to share with your loved ones. Those memories will be treasured. You’re a special man and I e enjoyed your videos. God bless!
That's no joke on what she said ^^^^^^ I'm in north western Pa an you will meet some of the most ignorant people here an that's no joke. Everytime I've been down south it makes me sad how nice an considerate the people are because I know I gota come back up north soon an deal with the same asshole negative people again.
I watch you all the time and I've never hurt for anyone so bad. You've held your head high but I can't even imagine what your going thru. I'm 71 and have lost two grown children but what your going thru is more than most can handle. And your wife and kids . I pray for you. Pray you will find comfort.
You know, I try to come back to this to remember him and everytime I just can't manage to watch a video all the way through. He seemed like such a genuine man, a really kind guy who just enjoyed sharing his life. I've always wondered why some of the worst things happen to the seemingly best people. I'm really glad his creations will be available for everyone to see though, he made his mark on the world and I hope he enjoyed it. Love to his family and him, rest easy, one of my inspirations. His videos paired well with a beer after work! ♥️brother
We will continue watching the "Tractor Journey" as also PRAYing for the tough path you are walking💝~Big HUGS to you, from AZ plus, that most beautiful family🌠:)
I just discovered your channel from watching your brother's channel and I wish I had found it sooner. Watching this really hurts my soul. I can't even imagine how hard this is for you and the amount of strength it takes to push forward just shows what you are made of. I can say with absolute certainty that I couldn't do it I'm not strong enough. Man you have my prayers and positive thoughts and healing energy. I am really praying hard for you. You like your brother are a cool dude and a genuinely good person. You don't deserve this hell that's been put on you and it pisses me off so bad to see you like this. I know strange to hear from a guy you don't even know but man f@#$ cancer! I have lost so many people I loved dearly to this dreadful disease and I would give anything and everything I have and will ever have to completely get rid of it for good. You have a beautiful family and they deserve to have you forever. Man I have to stop because its just pissing me off so much.. But don't stop fighting and never ever ever give up faith! I've seen too much in all my years to ever convince me that miracles happen and it is going to happen and it will man it will! Just know me and many many more out here are with you on this and we are putting those prayers out hardcore! Be well Mark and thank you for sharing your life and everything else you do..
Devine intervention brought me to your channel, I didn't even realize the tractor was the focus. For me, my focus was on you and your incredible strength to fight this fight. I hope one day I can be so brave to laugh and smile in the face of such pain. You are an inspiration that I needed to remind myself that it is what we've made of our lives that matter not necessarily how long they are. The people we touch and bring smiles to their face. That you've done well. Thank you.
You have never given up man!!!! Never!!! Biggest positive fighter I’ve EVER met!!! And you are NOT QUITTING!! You are just gonna go rest for a while!!!. Peace be with you and your entire beautiful family!
I have cancer too and I was surprised at how you just kept going after it got so bad . So glad you have kept your trust in God . I have faith you will be amazed by what’s waiting for you on the other side . I also wanted to thank you for showing your cancer . I didn’t want to see it but I think I needed to see it. . God bless .
I had to see, I felt to honour your journey.I needed to understand your pain. I only subscribed, so I could send hugs and peace. Go with God. You are a leader, you have great courage. May the Lord be with you always. Peace go gently into the good night. Peace
Tou have fought the good fight with humor,dignity and style! My love and respect for you is great. Use your tractor time for family, friends and to think about the good things. Your life is an example for use all.
I'm so sorry you've had to stop restoring the tractor but so happy you have people you trust to carry on your great work and you can rest assured it will be done. Praying for you that your pain is well controlled. 💘🙏🙏🙏💘
Sweetie your Human spirit is amazing.Wish I could give you the biggest hug.You are an amazing human you truly are.My heart goes out to you and your family.

I know this is late in the day, but what a brave guy. I hope it is some comfort to his family that he has left this legacy of videos for his children to remember him. RIP dude.

The way you are handling this cancer makes you a hero to so many people!!!! May God keep you in His arms with no pain !!!! Amen . John 3:16 May you find peace & comfort!!!!
Why do I love you? Your heart is so pure and shines through. I hope you and your beautiful family are finding strength, each day, wrapped in God's love.
Hi, I've been watching for a little while now and while I know the tractor was a project you wanted to physically finish, I support that you made the decision to focus your remaining energies on other things.
I have been fighting cancer for over 8 years. I can feel your pain. Sending you so much love and healing light. So sorry you're having to go through this and that it's so painful. BIG HUGSSSSSS!!!!!
I just came across you channel. I am so sorry for yiu. I have stage four metastatic renal cancer that came back after a 2.5 yr remission. Imunotherapy starts in two weeks.. Don't have much confidence in the treatment because it is only as to maintain my life as long as possible. I will add you to my prayer list. Go to God no matter what you believe. Let Him know you need to be here to bring Him to those around you. May peace and healing be yours . One love,One Lord ,✌🏽
Love ya Mark! And I'm going to say this while I have a chance. I'm looking forward to meeting you on the other side. You and your family are in my prayers.
Man I’m not sure how I found your channel but now I’ve gone thru a handful of videos and you’re a good man keep your faith strong we’re all praying for you
Mark, my heart is absolutely breaking for you. I can't even imagine going through what you have for the last year and a half. I wish I could give you a big hug. You don't deserve this.
You go to look out for you... Will definitely check out the tractor rebuild on the other channels... But will still watch yours for you and your content as you're able to do it..
May God Bless you bud! Focus your time with your family and find peace with the lord. I promise...you will be in good hands! You are loved in so many ways....just take that to heart!
In this video.... He knew it was coming. He was such a good man he dedicated his last days to his family,friends and even fans on youtube. That's what i call a good man. Rest in piece.
I can’t even believe how much I’ve grown to care about a stranger who will never know how much I care about and think about him all the time. I just lost a close friend to a sudden death and this is hurting like that and I don’t know him at all. He’s just such a strong man and wonderful person my heart hurts for him and his family.
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end." Gilda Radner We love and support you through this. Your soul is already in that tractor, and no matter who builds it, and when it gets done, it'll be your accomplishment.
I pray for you man. You need rest. Spend time with your family. The rest will fall into place. I just found your videos. I wrote to you on one few weeks back ...the one with your daughter on title page in little car. I hope you read my message. God bless.
Hobo Soup and unfortunately, folks that have not had to go thru any life altering, traumatic events in life, or chronic pain situations, really don’t understand what it’s like for us to live thru some of these things and it is a huge coping mechanism for us to have something like a tractor, woodworking projects, gardening, etc, to focus on because it does help us to “escape” or “block” the pain mentally for awhile and focus on other things that we’ve enjoyed during our lives and it’s the closest we will ever get to being “normal” again. And there’s nothing wrong with the rest of the world not understanding, I wish nobody understood it, then that would mean no one is experiencing the pain as we have. It’s brutal, it’s life altering, it affects everything we do and it affects the relationships with our friends and loved ones and I pray to God no one out there ever had to experience anything like this!! This is why it’s so important for us, even tho we may no longer have the same abilities we used to, to keep trying to put focus on tractors, making videos and other hobbies because we love to spend time on, it allows us to escape mentally from the grasp of evil pain or illness for just a bit, and that’s what keeps us going longer. I pray that no one out there that is healthy and able bodied ever had to go thru something like this! I pray everyday you all stay healthy and happy and are safe cause trust me, it has the ability to break the strongest man quickly if we were to allow it and that’s why I’m so Proud of him for not giving up, not giving in and allowing this evil to win and asking for some help when he knew he needed it. He’s a very strong man and we can all learn some very powerful life’s lessons from him and his experiences right now and it will make us all better husbands, friends, and brothers/sisters because of it. God bless every one of you and please lay your healing hands down on this man and bring him comfort and understanding Lord, he is a good man and is a man that we need many more of in this world today.
Mark, I love you man. God bless you now and forever. I’m going to miss seeing you.♥️ Jaci, if you are able, keep us posted. Praying for you folks. Thank you for being such a testimony.
Mark I am soo sorry you’re going through this!!! I wish there was something we could say to make everything okay again. Just know you and your beautiful family are in my prayers!! Our Lord is with you!!! Please lean on Him. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My heart is breaking for what you are going through. I'm 68 years old, I have my children grown, I've seen my grandchildren grow up. I'm healthy. I honestly would take this from you if I could so you could enjoy the same experiences. I don't know why God allows these things to happen but I do know He has His reason. We are all destined for where you are right now, some of us will get there quicker than others so if nothing else, you have taught me how very very blessed I am and to embrace every minute. I hope it helps you to know that you are being prayed for every day that God would give you strength to finish this race with your eyes on Him and your eternal home that will have no pain or tears. I pray for your wife and especially your children. Please know in your heart that God has those babies and He will take care of them. He knew of this day long before you were ever conceived in your mother's womb. Trust Him and hold His hand through this terrible process. Better days are coming I promise. Much love to you and your family and thank you for your bravery. You will win in the end. 💖
They say Mark passed away 2 or 3 days ago. He was such a brave wonderful young man, husband , father and brother. He lived life to the fullest even though he was dying. What an inspiration to everyone. God welcomed him with open arms.
14065468678 this dr matt's number. The reason the treatment failed is because you need a chemotherapy compatibility test. Look up RGCC, they are in Texas. They will hook you up with a person near you that can draw the blood. They will send it off cultivate your cancer and than test it against every chemotherapy and a wide variety of things. Dr Matt will tell you if he will have good response or not. They don't take you in if they don't think they will have success. Look I know you're in a tough spot. I cant guarantee they can cure it,but I can guarantee you'll do better there than here. Your chemo hasn't seemed to have helped at all, which is why you need that test. Chipsa has just hired one of MD Anderson's top oncologists. They hit it from all sorts of angles and they do chemotherapy there also but in a way that you don't get the side effects. You're still full of life which says your pretty resilient considering what you have. Trust me and make the call I've been there and seen people were given up on in the states make complete turn arounds.
@@rich8381 I really hope Mark sees this. I pray that he just might consider one more time. If not for him, for his family. I watched his father Dr. Lee on a video done I think this past summer. And at the end, it just broke my heart when he mentioned his son Mark. He had tears and broken up speech. Mark is in pain but, if he can recover it would be worth it. God Bless
I am living (don’t know for how long) with stage 4 colon cancer. You have been an inspiration for me to keep going with my hobbies and when some of them get physically tough move on to different projects but mainly enjoy my family. Thinking of you.
I hope you all beat the odds, I hope you all enjoy every day, life is ugly, but it’s so sacred. I know things suck, but keep your heads up I’m sure it isn’t easy 🖤
They’re pushing this guys channel so hard it’s kinda weird this is like the fourth different video of his to pop up in my recommended. RIP buddy, I wish I knew about you sooner
The fact that you still have humor, under the circumstances, is amazing. You are a wonderful person, and you have a beautiful family. I'm so glad you have Faith! God bless you and thank you for all of your videos. 💖
As others have said on here, my heart is breaking for you. I have been asking God to take away your pain and to be merciful to you. You have been so strong through this whole battle. You have not disappointed any of us. You have pushed yourself farther than most of us could. You are a strong and honorable man. You have my respect and admiration. Let your faith in God carry you. Psalm 23 reminds us that "Even when I must walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff reassure me." You are my brother in Christ, and I will continue to pray for you.
beautifully said. we dont care how professional a video is -- what matters is how genuine you are in sharing your journey. you have helped many people with your humor and love. May the Lord give you comfort and peace.
@@3310-f2g I'm sure there are many great people too but is this really the time or place to start listing "yea but" names? I know you didn't have any mean or asshole'ish intent but...just saying. Much love to everyone

Absolutely!! I've enjoyed watching it come together!! You did it!!
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I can't imagine these long hellish days walking in circle in your garage unable to even sit due to the pain watching yourself being eaten away by some demonic disease.

I hope you are doing okay now
I would love to just shake you're hand. The bravery you show is amazing.
I learned about you from Stephen Cox. I rarely have any time off, but I found myself at home alone this morning. Rain has shut us down so I was going to catch up our own RUclips channel, editing and such. Now I’ve invested several hours in getting to know you and what a good, Godly, strong father and husband you are. You are an inspiration to so many, even though you are going through something that most of us could never imagine. You are in my prayers. God bless you and your family.
Your entire disposition, the way you carry yourself under these circumstances, to me seems almost superhuman. Inspiring.
I found your channel through your brother, and my heart breaks for you and your family. Your choice is hard, and I applaud you for your fight as long as you did, and making the best memories for your kids as possible.
Keep doing you, and stay strong.
Fuck Cancer.
Mark, you sweet and caring man, I come to you to see you, and support you.♥️. Your tractor will be amazing! Because of the foundation YOU’VE built it on. You are literally on my mind every day. I want you to do what you need to do. Never apologize to your people for what you have to do. We get it Mark. I pray your pain lessens and you find peace. We’ve never met, but I love you Mark. You have become a friend to me and I will always hold you near to my heart. ♥️
Sending Love ..Thank you for sharing..you’ve helped me losing my grown sons last year.Bless you.
God bless you Kat
I feel for you and your family. A person shouldn’t have to go through this.
Larry Hobbs it’s just cruel especially knowing how many truly awful people deserve to die! And there’s this young amazing family man who has so much left to offer this world and contribute who is going thru this and doesn’t deserve it
We love you, Mark! God bless you and your family.
Actually it was god who blessed with him with cancer😮
I’m so glad you asked them to build it. It will get done, so in a way, you didn’t give up on it! It’s good to have friends! You are an inspiration! ❤️
They will do you proud! The tractor already has your heart and soul in it...you are a part of it even if you can’t finish it. Now you can focus on your other special projects you are working on..those gifts you are making. I pray for you every day....pray that you are able to manage your pain and that can do what you want and need to do with the time you have. You are inspiring!
My heart goes out to you and your family and friends; its a hard road living with cancer for everyone involoved. But documenting it will help your kids later as well so they know the fight you faught. As for the tractor its wonderful that your friends are going to help out by finishing it. I had a wonderful friend who was in the middle of restoring a 65 malibu when he was diagnosised with ALS and his friends stepped in and met at his house once a week until it was fully restored. So be grateful for all those who love you and know they will take care of your family after this is all over for you. Continued prayers for pain relief.
Oh Mark, I hope you get to see the tractor built, but take it easy man, spend your time with your babies and your amazing wife and family! Please hug them all tight and rest up and chill for the time you have left before god takes you to be pain free and you can watch over them every day x (ugh I'm in tears now) i felt that sadness and pain in your voice, god bless hun hugs from london uk.
Your are soo strong! Watching episode after episode here on YT and being so amazed by your strength. You are such a huge inspiration to many people. Praying for you and your family. Praying that your pain will be bearable for you. Hugs from Sweden ❤
I'm a cancer survivor myself. I grappled with this same choice of to continue or not. It broke me I lost all hope, clearly your faith allowed you to proceed with this choice with dignity. Truly inspiring thank you for sharing.
Man, I don’t know you, I don’t watch channels with content that has to do with cars, sports, or anything particularly “manly”. I don’t know how or why you have come up in my recommendations so many times but it’s been pretty consistent for the last few months. You are so good looking, btw. Lucky wifey 😉.
You break my heart and then bring it back up all in the same video. I wish I had the power to take your pain away. I’d do it in heartbeat. I’d do it for the love you have for life and your family. I hope, I PRAY, something so good happens to you. Whether that’s a cure or a period of complete calm and painless last days for you to share with your loved ones. Those memories will be treasured. You’re a special man and I e enjoyed your videos. God bless!
That's no joke on what she said ^^^^^^
I'm in north western Pa an you will meet some of the most ignorant people here an that's no joke. Everytime I've been down south it makes me sad how nice an considerate the people are because I know I gota come back up north soon an deal with the same asshole negative people again.
I watch you all the time and I've never hurt for anyone so bad. You've held your head high but I can't even imagine what your going thru. I'm 71 and have lost two grown children but what your going thru is more than most can handle. And your wife and kids . I pray for you. Pray you will find comfort.
You're the most strong man I've ever seen dude!!!!!
You know, I try to come back to this to remember him and everytime I just can't manage to watch a video all the way through. He seemed like such a genuine man, a really kind guy who just enjoyed sharing his life. I've always wondered why some of the worst things happen to the seemingly best people. I'm really glad his creations will be available for everyone to see though, he made his mark on the world and I hope he enjoyed it. Love to his family and him, rest easy, one of my inspirations. His videos paired well with a beer after work! ♥️brother
We will continue watching the "Tractor Journey" as also PRAYing for the tough path you are walking💝~Big HUGS to you, from AZ
plus, that most beautiful family🌠:)
My heart breaks for you....💔....such a lovely person, life can be unfair and cruel.....😢 Sending prayers and love to you and your family..Xx
I just discovered your channel from watching your brother's channel and I wish I had found it sooner. Watching this really hurts my soul. I can't even imagine how hard this is for you and the amount of strength it takes to push forward just shows what you are made of. I can say with absolute certainty that I couldn't do it I'm not strong enough. Man you have my prayers and positive thoughts and healing energy. I am really praying hard for you. You like your brother are a cool dude and a genuinely good person. You don't deserve this hell that's been put on you and it pisses me off so bad to see you like this. I know strange to hear from a guy you don't even know but man f@#$ cancer! I have lost so many people I loved dearly to this dreadful disease and I would give anything and everything I have and will ever have to completely get rid of it for good. You have a beautiful family and they deserve to have you forever. Man I have to stop because its just pissing me off so much.. But don't stop fighting and never ever ever give up faith! I've seen too much in all my years to ever convince me that miracles happen and it is going to happen and it will man it will! Just know me and many many more out here are with you on this and we are putting those prayers out hardcore!
Be well Mark and thank you for sharing your life and everything else you do..
WE LOVE YOU GOD BLESS YOUR JOURNEY.... THANK YOU for Sharing the Good and the Bad! ALOT of folks can learn from YOUR COURAGE.....
Devine intervention brought me to your channel, I didn't even realize the tractor was the focus. For me, my focus was on you and your incredible strength to fight this fight. I hope one day I can be so brave to laugh and smile in the face of such pain. You are an inspiration that I needed to remind myself that it is what we've made of our lives that matter not necessarily how long they are. The people we touch and bring smiles to their face. That you've done well. Thank you.
You have never given up man!!!! Never!!! Biggest positive fighter I’ve EVER met!!! And you are NOT QUITTING!! You are just gonna go rest for a while!!!. Peace be with you and your entire beautiful family!
Stay strong man we’re all praying for you hope your ok

I have faith you will be amazed by what’s waiting for you on the other side . I also wanted to thank you for showing your cancer . I didn’t want to see it but I think I needed to see it. .

Sugar feeds cancer cells. If you can eat stuff without sugar. The tomours can die.

Hi, I've been watching for a little while now and while I know the tractor was a project you wanted to physically finish, I support that you made the decision to focus your remaining energies on other things.
I have been fighting cancer for over 8 years. I can feel your pain. Sending you so much love and healing light. So sorry you're having to go through this and that it's so painful. BIG HUGSSSSSS!!!!!
I’m praying for you Mark. I wish you didn’t have to go through this, it’s not fair.
I'm so glad you've made these videos because this is real life. Anything you can put up we're here to watch. 👍🦋
Just stumbled on your channel..
The fact you can even move.. you're an inspiration. Take care of yourself. Godbless
Damn sorry to hear about your situation but you are a true motivation to those who think they have it hard. Thank you for your inspiration!
Love to you and your family. Brave man ! ❤
I just came across you channel. I am so sorry for yiu. I have stage four metastatic renal cancer that came back after a 2.5 yr remission.
Imunotherapy starts in two weeks.. Don't have much confidence in the treatment because it is only as to maintain my life as long as possible.
I will add you to my prayer list.
Go to God no matter what you believe. Let Him know you need to be here to bring Him to those around you.
May peace and healing be yours .
One love,One Lord ,✌🏽
Hoping you beat it.
Mark prayers to both you and your family. I can’t even imagine what you are going through. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Love ya Mark! And I'm going to say this while I have a chance. I'm looking forward to meeting you on the other side. You and your family are in my prayers.
You have the strength brother. I hope you feel better soon.
Man I’m not sure how I found your channel but now I’ve gone thru a handful of videos and you’re a good man keep your faith strong we’re all praying for you
I enjoy watching your every video. I don’t know a thing about tractors but I enjoy you. God bless you Mark. ❤️
Mark, my heart is absolutely breaking for you. I can't even imagine going through what you have for the last year and a half. I wish I could give you a big hug. You don't deserve this.
Im like many others here for you. I pray God wraps his arms around you and relieves your pain.
You go to look out for you... Will definitely check out the tractor rebuild on the other channels... But will still watch yours for you and your content as you're able to do it..
May God Bless you bud! Focus your time with your family and find peace with the lord. I promise...you will be in good hands! You are loved in so many ways....just take that to heart!
Warrior
Praying for you Mark, May the lord smile upon you and your family. Your incredible attitude through all this is simply inspirational bless you brother
In this video.... He knew it was coming. He was such a good man he dedicated his last days to his family,friends and even fans on youtube. That's what i call a good man. Rest in piece.
Rest easy mark. Stay safe slayer. Rip and care
@@nawwafhusein6702 rip with care?
Keep ripping those demons apart
Dedication to family and friends is just average, and anyway we don't need to be calling each other names, especially after death!
Agreed. ❤
This is what bravery looks like in flesh and blood. Rest easy ...
I can’t even believe how much I’ve grown to care about a stranger who will never know how much I care about and think about him all the time. I just lost a close friend to a sudden death and this is hurting like that and I don’t know him at all. He’s just such a strong man and wonderful person my heart hurts for him and his family.
Same...
I feel the same way 😔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Same here..
Rodger that
Yes, I feel the same. 💔
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end." Gilda Radner
We love and support you through this. Your soul is already in that tractor, and no matter who builds it, and when it gets done, it'll be your accomplishment.
Perfect.
Paul T yes,that is perfect! That is going to be one amazing tractor!
Awesome quote. Perfect.
I pray for you man. You need rest. Spend time with your family. The rest will fall into place. I just found your videos. I wrote to you on one few weeks back ...the one with your daughter on title page in little car. I hope you read my message. God bless.
Paul T I love your comment Paul.
Nobody gives a damn about the tractor, Mark. Everyone is upset and worrying about you.
I like the tractor... I like that he still likes the tractor
I give several damns about that tractor, solely because this man does. Well, that and I do have a thing for tractors.

Hobo Soup and unfortunately, folks that have not had to go thru any life altering, traumatic events in life, or chronic pain situations, really don’t understand what it’s like for us to live thru some of these things and it is a huge coping mechanism for us to have something like a tractor, woodworking projects, gardening, etc, to focus on because it does help us to “escape” or “block” the pain mentally for awhile and focus on other things that we’ve enjoyed during our lives and it’s the closest we will ever get to being “normal” again. And there’s nothing wrong with the rest of the world not understanding, I wish nobody understood it, then that would mean no one is experiencing the pain as we have. It’s brutal, it’s life altering, it affects everything we do and it affects the relationships with our friends and loved ones and I pray to God no one out there ever had to experience anything like this!! This is why it’s so important for us, even tho we may no longer have the same abilities we used to, to keep trying to put focus on tractors, making videos and other hobbies because we love to spend time on, it allows us to escape mentally from the grasp of evil pain or illness for just a bit, and that’s what keeps us going longer.
I pray that no one out there that is healthy and able bodied ever had to go thru something like this! I pray everyday you all stay healthy and happy and are safe cause trust me, it has the ability to break the strongest man quickly if we were to allow it and that’s why I’m so Proud of him for not giving up, not giving in and allowing this evil to win and asking for some help when he knew he needed it. He’s a very strong man and we can all learn some very powerful life’s lessons from him and his experiences right now and it will make us all better husbands, friends, and brothers/sisters because of it. God bless every one of you and please lay your healing hands down on this man and bring him comfort and understanding Lord, he is a good man and is a man that we need many more of in this world today.
I get you were trying to be nice but you're shitting on his passion
Mark, I love you man. God bless you now and forever. I’m going to miss seeing you.♥️ Jaci, if you are able, keep us posted. Praying for you folks. Thank you for being such a testimony.
Amen!
Mark I am soo sorry you’re going through this!!! I wish there was something we could say to make everything okay again. Just know you and your beautiful family are in my prayers!! Our Lord is with you!!! Please lean on Him. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My heart is breaking for what you are going through. I'm 68 years old, I have my children grown, I've seen my grandchildren grow up. I'm healthy. I honestly would take this from you if I could so you could enjoy the same experiences. I don't know why God allows these things to happen but I do know He has His reason. We are all destined for where you are right now, some of us will get there quicker than others so if nothing else, you have taught me how very very blessed I am and to embrace every minute. I hope it helps you to know that you are being prayed for every day that God would give you strength to finish this race with your eyes on Him and your eternal home that will have no pain or tears. I pray for your wife and especially your children. Please know in your heart that God has those babies and He will take care of them. He knew of this day long before you were ever conceived in your mother's womb. Trust Him and hold His hand through this terrible process. Better days are coming I promise. Much love to you and your family and thank you for your bravery. You will win in the end. 💖
You have won. You are saved. The way you ✍ write these words are hiw U feel too. Just COULD NOT say it like you t.y.
Well said!
Amen
Amen
Beautifully said! I pray for peace, no pain and that his wife and children truly know how much they are loved by dad. Cancer sucks always.
This is heartbreaking; honestly, I don't watch for the tractor stuff, just like you and your sense of humor and grace. Hugs and prayers...byeeeeee!
They say Mark passed away 2 or 3 days ago. He was such a brave wonderful young man, husband , father and brother. He lived life to the fullest even though he was dying. What an inspiration to everyone. God welcomed him with open arms.
Don’t you dare be sorry, sending love and strength to you as you are one amazing bloke x ❤️🇬🇧
Your level of bravery, optimism and humor under these painful circumstances is awe inspiring!!! God bless you!
He is amazing. Damn good guy.
Czech Warrior & AK Devers... I totally agree!
I'm sitting here watching your video and sad, not for the tractor, but for your pain. Praying!
14065468678 this dr matt's number. The reason the treatment failed is because you need a chemotherapy compatibility test. Look up RGCC, they are in Texas. They will hook you up with a person near you that can draw the blood. They will send it off cultivate your cancer and than test it against every chemotherapy and a wide variety of things. Dr Matt will tell you if he will have good response or not. They don't take you in if they don't think they will have success. Look I know you're in a tough spot. I cant guarantee they can cure it,but I can guarantee you'll do better there than here. Your chemo hasn't seemed to have helped at all, which is why you need that test. Chipsa has just hired one of MD Anderson's top oncologists. They hit it from all sorts of angles and they do chemotherapy there also but in a way that you don't get the side effects. You're still full of life which says your pretty resilient considering what you have. Trust me and make the call I've been there and seen people were given up on in the states make complete turn arounds.
@@rich8381 I really hope Mark sees this. I pray that he just might consider one more time. If not for him, for his family. I watched his father Dr. Lee on a video done I think this past summer. And at the end, it just broke my heart when he mentioned his son Mark. He had tears and broken up speech. Mark is in pain but, if he can recover it would be worth it. God Bless
I am living (don’t know for how long) with stage 4 colon cancer. You have been an inspiration for me to keep going with my hobbies and when some of them get physically tough move on to different projects but mainly enjoy my family. Thinking of you.
From one cancer fighter to another - prayers for you my friend♥️
Pray for you all when the going gets tough keep on fighting it’s hard but try hang in there keep strong
My grandma quit treatment and has colon cancer. My world will crash forever the day she leaves it. I pray for you and her both.
God bless you!!!!!!
I hope you all beat the odds, I hope you all enjoy every day, life is ugly, but it’s so sacred. I know things suck, but keep your heads up I’m sure it isn’t easy 🖤
I don't come to see the tractor, I come to see you. I love your voice, your calm, your up-beat-ness! God bless you today. Praying for you!
They’re pushing this guys channel so hard it’s kinda weird this is like the fourth different video of his to pop up in my recommended. RIP buddy, I wish I knew about you sooner
Same I watch demo ranch and drewski not every video but I still had no idea this is sad and I will remember this for my whole life
Watch his older videos.
Enough with the "recommended" crap it's an ALGORITHM and you clicked the first video so it recommened the others
If you watched all his videos plus his family videos you get to know him. He is a true hero. RIP.
The fact that you still have humor, under the circumstances, is amazing. You are a wonderful person, and you have a beautiful family. I'm so glad you have Faith! God bless you and thank you for all of your videos. 💖
I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I understand and validate your decision to receive palliative care. Continued prayer for pain control.
The " things" left behind mean nothing. Your comfort and family mean everything. Peace be with you.
As others have said on here, my heart is breaking for you. I have been asking God to take away your pain and to be merciful to you. You have been so strong through this whole battle. You have not disappointed any of us. You have pushed yourself farther than most of us could. You are a strong and honorable man. You have my respect and admiration. Let your faith in God carry you. Psalm 23 reminds us that "Even when I must walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff reassure me." You are my brother in Christ, and I will continue to pray for you.
beautifully said. we dont care how professional a video is -- what matters is how genuine you are in sharing your journey. you have helped many people with your humor and love. May the Lord give you comfort and peace.
He speaks for us all.

When Mark said “God I need to stop talking this hurts” my heart shattered into a million pieces and I can’t stop crying. FUCK YOU Cancer!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
