"But the [conspiracy theories] are not worth mentioning here." AND mental health lines & sites to visit. You, sir, are an absolute gem and a credit to the genre. Thank you.
Honestly, I don’t think conspiracy theories are *ever* worth mentioning in serious videos.
Yes 🥹
I concur
Thank you.
I can understand one getting off the train because his/hers /etc twin soul life got snuffed (esp. untimely).
Thanks for giving the links to the samaritans and the other two hotlines.
I'm only alive still because of the london emergency services myself, and i can understand how one just can't go on... and how pissed off one can feel being brought back to life
BUT
I do not regret being saved from self-offing... an agonizing 3 years after botching my su!c!de i was pulled off my self despair pit and now...
now i live a love filled life even if the dark shadow of "Enough!" still haunts me sometimes.
❤ ❤️🩹🧷
@Yorkie8 There's some truth to that. I don't think there is a perfect way to address these things, though.
I always remember how I first learned to draw cartoon eyes by following Mark's instruction on the show. I went on to LOVE drawing purely because I felt so proud of what I could achieve, all thanks to his simple tip. Now, at 25, I have been commissioned to illustrate for personalised gifts and children's books, and I'm currently working on my own illustrated story series. Simple perhaps, but he had a big impact on my life from an early age. Thank you, Mark. Rest easy.
💜
Best to you for your bright future! 💓
Aww! That’s awesome and congratulations on your career.
That’s amazing xxx well done and thanks for sharing. He would of been happy to know this I’m sure.
@Scotty* Bucks thank you so much ❤️ I was so upset when I heard he'd passed away
Thank you so much for this
Mark was a friend of mine and I loved him. He was the most generous, caring, outrageously funny and lovely person.
His death was a result of the hounding of the press. They have blood on their hands.
Mark would never have harmed a fly.
I did a photoshoot with Mark and Tash a few months before this tragedy - nobody has ever seen the photos - they were never used.
I also designed the Speight of The Art logo for him for free to help him (I’m a graphic designer and photographer) because he was trying to make a little cash at his meet and greets because he was having severe money troubles. His father (I won’t say anything about him!!) was ‘looking after’ his finances. This artwork was then stolen (inbox me if you want the story).
Anyway. Mark was a fabulous guy, Tash was so sweet. They were perfect together.
Thank you again for the video.
This made me teary eyed.
Thank you for being such a great friend to Mark, whom I sure was very fond of you.
I cannot believe the press had something to do with his death. Of course, losing a loved one is unimaginable grief, I can understand how tough this was for him.
I agree, Mark was incredible - a role model, a huge inspiration to a lot of our lives.
He may be gone but he certainly isn't forgotten ❤️
@@markspeighttribute5509 a lovely reply. Thank you. The absolute truth is, Mark was (and in my heart always will be) that mate that always made you laugh.
He was outrageously silly and giving.
I miss him. X
@@ZosoHacker I bet he was, I can believe it.
I wish I could’ve got the opportunity to meet him and thank him for everything 🥺
Sending love ❤️
U r a great friend. 🙏🏻🥂
hello ,sorry for your loss even after all this time im sure it hurts ,would be interesting to know what he told the police that day for them to turn it on him and make him a suspect only to drop it ,im assuming he named the dealer but i doubt it will come out ,so sad.
As a 90s kid who loved all things artistic, Smart was a big part of my childhood (along with Art Attack) I was absolutely gutted to hear of his passing and the circumstances around it. This video was very respectfully done, thank you.
He was a junkie, a pathetic loser who couldn't handle his life. Have you ever experienced the tantrams of a paranoid cocaine user at work? Still, nobody here mentioning the terrible effects of recreational drug abuse as if it's just a normal thing everybody should accept as part of life.
@@powerplay8355 Yeah whatever. I've seen smackheads have their kids taken away from them and literally done anything for their next hit including robbing and stabbing, so nothing you say matters to me.
I'd been abroad and when I came Back to England I picked up a newspaper , on the front page was an article about his funeral , I was so shocked as I hadn't even heard he'd died , I live in Tettenhall where he's from , I found it all very upsetting , like a piece of my childhood innocence died with him.
@@powerplay8355 you seem like a really good guy. Try getting your self some empathy, and try finding your self. Your a bit rotten inside
@@powerplay8355 you could say similar about a shopaholic or scratchcard/gambling addict. I lived with an alcoholic who kept it hidden for our first few weeks.
ALL OF THEM are totally legal and two actively encouraged with advertising.
He had an addiction but considering that he would feel responsible for what happened with her, it was probably likely he put the whole weight of it on his shoulders.....
I loved Mark Speight so much. I couldn't wait to watch SMart after school every week, I was so gutted when I found out about his death. The way he was treated when Natasha died was horrendous. He didn't deserve what he got. RIP Mark & Natasha. 🕊🤍🤍
I loved watching Mark on SMart, he was my favorite, I was so shocked to hear about what happened as a kid. I think about him now and then. R.I.P
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Times were different then, but in some ways, the way people treat each other hasn’t softened in recent years at all.
Following mark as a child taught me to let go and enjoy colour when my art teacher said it (mixed media) wasn't art, thanks to him I'm now an artist. He lives on in others talents and creativity
I applaud your refusal to entertain the rumors and risk sullying this man's reputation. I've never heard of him although I grew up in the 90s but in the US, but I wish I had. They both sound like they inspired thousands of youngsters. Peace be to them and their loved ones.
So do I. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I remember when this happened. My children were still young and we watched him on children's TV here in the UK... so so sad
I agree, wonderfully presented, and heartfelt ❤❤
He always seemed like a nice bloke, sometimes bad things happen to nice people. My kids loved him and his programs. Sad.
I was about to comment the same thing. I find it so irritating that some channels would rather focus on sensationalism than tragic reality. So nice that for once, a true-crime presenter just stuck to what matters.
No parent should keep the spectre of death hidden from their children, no matter how young they are, especially when it comes for someone they look up to. They have a right to know, and are stronger than many give them credit for, so for some parents to complain when the news of Marks death was made known to their children is incredibly disappointing.
As someone who was a child who watched this being announced on smart, I'm glad they did announce it, as it was done very well, and was a great teaching tool for a topic that is not often talked about
I can see both sides but you make a great point
I lost my father very unexpectedly at 12… that was my first real encounter with death.
I’ve since made it my mission to normalise death in my household!
I agree with you.
I completely agree. over the last few years I have lost 3 family members and due to not being able to travel I had to watch their funerals online. my kids each time saw me upset and I fully explained to them why. kids are not stupid and if anything my kids helped me so much as they understood and hugged me and kept checking with me to make sure I was ok.
Im 34 years old and I remember the joys of saturday morning tv waking up to scratchy and co and Mark and his cloud suit. May he rest in eternal peace.
He was a huge influence to my little brother who has now won Awards for his technical painting and now my brothers little boy loves to paint. What a sad but awesome legacy he has left behind. Rest in peace Mark!
What a wonderful legacy ♥️
That's so awesome that Mark played a huge role in inspiring your little brother!
I was in a dark place once and called a help hotline. I was about 6 sentences in when the woman interrupted me to ask "are you suicidal or not?" I said no, but I really needed to talk to someone because I was horribly depressed and had lost the will to live but would not actively kill myself. She then berated me for wasting her time and informed me these hotlines we're only for suicidal people. She then said she had another call and it was probably from someone who "actually needed" her and she hung up on me. After that, I called another hotline. They refused to talk to me because I was in the wrong county and told me to call the number I had just called. Needless to say, I will not be making anymore phonecalls, no matter what.
I’m so sorry that happened to you.
That is horrible! What a terrible way to handle a call! Disgusting. You do not “help” anyone in that manner. Respect is called for, contact a trusted health professional, please. Do you have a close friend or family member?
Kandreas world,sorry that happened to you,they need to learn respect
That's dreadful. I'm not sure if you're in the UK or not but Samaritans run an email as well as a phone line which is helpful. If you're not in the UK you'd still be able to access that and they're very good at Samaritans.
Sorry you went through that... I phoned the hotline around the same time as you, I was lonely aswell. Talked to an old man, we talked about doctor who and other things. He said that he must go because we wasn't talking about suicide and that he hopes the best for me. Trust me there is better people out there.
So refreshing to see a tragedy handled with respect and dignity.
Mark Speight was a legend. He was a huge part of my childhood and one of the reasons I’m now a professional artist.
Man this video hit me harder than I expected. thanks for this video, and your kind respectful words. It’s what he deserves.
Don't dilute the word, 'legend'.
An utter tragedy and proof that bad things can happen to good people. This video told the story with sensitivity and respect - thank you.
I remember this when I was a teenager, it was very sad news. He was always one of the most talented, interesting and genuine personalities on TV growing up as a kid. RIP.
Agreed.
As a 34 year old, I dont think I'll ever be over the passing of Mark 💔
What's your age got to do with it? 🤔
@@Sheriff_GrimLaw it was our generation
Me either :(
30 here and same 😔
He was to children’s art programmes what Chris Packham was to children’s wildlife shows of the 1990’s. I absolutely loved watching Mark and was truly saddened by what happened to him and Natasha. Thank you so much for such thoughtful and compassionate content. I will be subscribing to your channel.
I have lost three friends to suicide and it is totally devastating. I just want to thank you for the added links at the end of your video. Bless you, and I hope that anyone watching this with thoughts of suicide is able to get in contact! Keep up the good work!
I met Mark shortly before he passed away, he was doing a panto near me and I was one of the kids that got to go on stage and create a drawing with him (I still have it and treasure it) I got to meet him properly after the show finished and he was so lovely and kind and he gave me the drawing that we'd made on stage and signed it for me. Mark had a huge influence on me and my artistic expression growing up and I'm still filled with profound grief and sadness for the loss of Mark and Natasha and I'm sorry for the loss of these two beautiful souls for all of their family, friends and fans. I can only hope you're both at peace, together.
I grew up watching Mark on Scratchy & Co. and SMart. A really talented man, the series of events at the end of his life were so so sad. ♥
Wow that is a literal flash back ... scratchy... SMart 😔☺️.
See it .. saw it... was I program they was on also.
So sad my friends
I remember seeing Mark and Natasha at Lulworth Cove one time.
They were such a lovely couple and loved talking to all the kids who recognised him.
I was heartbroken when I heard about what happened to them.
When you said in the years since marks death conspiracy theories have surrounded the circumstances of marks death, I thought oh no here we go, I'm so glad you followed it up by saying they're not worth airing here a subtle way of saying do not entertain such nonsense not on my channel, just discovered your channel my friend an I'm really liking it... From further up north in Glasgow.
It’s a little known fact that the following high-profile names were all killed because they had knowledge of the child-raping ways of the BBC:
Jill Dando
Kristian Digby
Natasha Collins
Mark Speight
Kevin Greening
Paula Yates
Rik Mayall
Peaches Geldof
Well that's what someone said on a website anyway.🤔😮
@@Weird.Dreams 'It's a little known fact' 'well that's what someone said on a website anyway' 🤣🤔 brilliant. It's a 'fact' because someone said it online 🤦♂️ incredible.
Don't be so quick to dismiss these other theories. It is very possible there was foul play involved.
@@Weird.Dreams What a guy. I agree. I think it is very plausible they were bumped off. People are too quick to believe everything they are told by the mainstream media.
@@Weird.Dreams the only one I would agree that that is the case is Jill Dando. All the others highly unlikely
How tragic that anyone feels the need to take their own life.
You can’t begin to imagine what goes through people’s heads
True, hard to imagine when life is so short and precious, had a mate who ended his life aged 36 because his evil ex stopped him from seeing his daughter on his birthday, have another mate who lost his son aged 16, he considered it shortly after but fortunately is still around, he said until you have been there you cant imagine what it's like.
What a touching and tastefully done video this was. It brought up a lot of old feelings. They both seemed such genuinely lovely people. Quite simply, I wish it had never happened. I wish Mark and Natasha were both still here, doing videos on RUclips (or wherever) so I could show them to my children who would no doubt be as entertained by them as I was when I was their age.
I wholeheartedly agree - very tasteful, and the comment at the end about support services was gently done too.
I admire the respect and brevity you made the focus of your story. Class act my friend. You deserve all the success you are receiving. Take care.
Wholeheartedly agree...a class act indeed. Well said 👏
Conspiracy theories. "They’re not worth airing here." I really love that.
i remember sitting in the living room watching CBBC when the headline dropped of mark's death in 2008 on newsround which took me by surprise and hit like a tonne of bricks, i was and still am i massive fan of his and he'll never be forgotten
SMart was my childhood and I remember hearing of all that was going on with him with his fiancée's death and everything afterwards. When I heard he went missing I begged he would turn up alright. I was 17, at work, when I found out he had been found dead. I cried at work.
His work was and still is an inspiration for me to this day and he is part of the reason why I kept at this hobby of mine. What he went through is truly crushing. He is most certainly not forgotten :'(
A very respectful and balanced account of what happened. This story is a reminder of the power of substance abuse.
As others have said this was respectfully done, thank you. Mark was one of my favourite presenters growing up, I remember when Kirsten made the announcement, it was such a sad moment.
My husband met and worked with Mark , we had a young child at the time and Mark was lovely enough to sign a book for him.
Big Picture/Little Picture in Smarteenies on CBeebies was a huge favourite in our house,
Mark was every bit as lovely as we knew he would be.
So so sad when he died. May he RIP
Mark was my childhood hero this was sad but a loving tribute to a great man
Such a tragedy both had so much and seemed so happy 😢🥺
I'm Aussie, never heard of them until now 💔 how heartbreaking for everyone including their fans.
i was really young when hearing about mark's death... through the tabloids (ew). i never got the full story up until now.
i vaguely remember seeing mark's tutorials on how to draw eyes, expressions, etc in his big industrial studio set. i wasn't very good at remembering names (bare in mind i was four/five at the time), so i just remembered mark as the friendly man with spikey blonde hair. his personality was so engaging to young audiences, and a charm that was universal.
thank you so much for the respect you've given while telling this story; we should remember mark and natasha for their work, the lives they've touched, and as unique people that can never be replicated.
So sad, just shows you how mental health was treated even just a few years ago. A couple both truly troubled, but now reunited.
Rest in peace ❤️💙
Thank you for giving the helplines as well. ❤️💙
Sharon Legg- How was mental health issues treated just a few years ago? I’m sure you’re implying there’s not enough help, or some sort of stigma attached. Feelings aren’t facts. Back up your statement with proof. Sounds like everyone they spoke of in this video were loving kind & helpful. In the US all u have to do is make a phone call & help will come to you- insured or not. Programs & treatment centers, therapists are everywhere. And any kind pill u want is available. Facts
This channel should have a million subscribers, it is awesome and the host has such a nice voice to listen to ❤️
I just found your channel and I love it! You’re so easy to listen to. It’s smashing to find a fellow Brit to watch. It’s strangely comforting hearing your voice and seeing your kind face on RUclips. 🥰
Same here - but, I'm american
Thank you for handling this painful story with such sensitivity. As someone who has lost one person to suicide and loved another who tried it twice it's very good to see the lack of judgement and the kindness with which you handled the story.
Thank you for this extremely sensitive and well made short documentary into this lovely mans life.
Quickly this has become one of my favourite channels. Your compassionate and well informed delivery is laudable.
thank you for presenting this in a beautiful way. i never watched the shows the pair were on, as i grew up in america, but i can tell they were wonderful people. i'm glad you didn't let the conspiracies and their occasional drug use have any impact on your storytelling, as i know a lot of people would think less of them for that. thank you💕 i found your channel recently and it's marvelous!
I remember when this happened, this was the first time I ever encountered suicide, at 9 years old, and I was devastated as he was my favourite presenter on the show
Thank you for covering this Mark was such a great artist not just a kids TV presenter but an accomplished artist. Such shame he went too soon
Thanks for adding the helplines at the end.
Not enough people do that here on RUclips.
That literally left me teary-eyed!
The loss of Mark and Natasha was heartbreaking. This is such a sensitively handled video, and the resources mentioned at the end reveal your empathic nature.
I was in sixth form when he died and remember lots of people at school talking about how much they loved watching Smart and how he inspired them by making art look so fun. I very much like the intro as Speight's death was the first incident that made me realise that kids TV presenters are people too and they are, sadly, as easily capable of falling into dark times.
I applaud you for telling this story in the manner that you have and the way that it should have been so they both rest in peace
I forgot about this. You did a brilliant job telling a difficult and sad story. 💜
Found your channel today, I love how respectful you are towards the victims.
I especially like that you don't pay any mind to the conspiracy theories, and instead choose to focus on the story and the facts.
He was a bit after my time, but I remember him and the tragedy. Thank you very much for the respectful and compassionate way you did the video.
Once again a sensitively produced show. An interesting and tragic story. Very well done. Thank you 🕯️💜🙏
I so appreciate your calm yet compassionate demeanour in this article.
I already hit the subscribe button a few videos ago in this binge, and now I wish I could double-subscribe. Despite this factual presentation, the bits of your own feelings on the case that you've slipped in warmed my heart. Thank you for telling us this story.
This is the first video I've seen on this channel and I hugely appreciate the comment about not going into the conspiracy theories as they're not worth it. Good job man!
Life can be so ruthless sometimes. Thank you for this respectful video sir, you do good work.
Thank you, sir. Your compassion means more than you know.
Beautifully and respectfully delivered. So very tragic.
Damn this video brought up a lot of feelings. I remember loving this guy as a kid, I was sad and confused when I found out he'd died. Seemed like a lot of grown up stuff I didn't understand and no one would really explain to me why bad things were happening. He was probably one of the reasons I went on to love art so much. I can't quite remember, but I remember his face and I feel like he had a big impact.
This was beautifully done and I am so grateful you made this video. I remember this happening like it was yesterday, just so so sad. All the other RUclips videos on Mark and Natasha are very old now and I really felt like these two tragic people had been forgotten about. Thank you and well done for making this video ❤
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and it certainly won’t be the last. Your soothing voice, pacing and intonation washed over me in waves of warmth and comfort, and was a beautiful dedication to Mark and Natasha. Not from the UK, I wasn’t familiar with them or their story, but you so beautifully captured their youthful spirit and love for one another.
The worst thing adults can do when it comes to the topic of death with children is attempt to shield them from it, and assume they don’t understand or can’t cope. If it is forced to be unspoken, it develops a life of its own, and becomes something much greater to fear.
Only last night I was having dinner with family including an extremely bright 3 year old. They’re obsessed with dinosaurs and fossils currently. Somehow during dinner they brought up the topic of death and dying in relation to animals. We all took a quiet breath and leant into that moment.
Firstly we all said in a calm positive voice “yes, that does happen, you’re right”. One parent, a doctor, explained that the body doesn’t work anymore. Their other parent explained that once their body stops working we don’t see them anymore, but they become stars in the sky like Mufassa in the Lion King.
I said that it’s just like with the dinosaurs, and their bodies stopped working, so we don’t see dinosaurs anymore, only their bones and fossils.
It was a beautiful conversation and the child was extremely happy at the end of it and proud to have connected their knowledge of dinosaurs and fossils to the idea.
The sooner we can introduce children to life’s cycle, including the uncomfortable parts, in a safe and loving way, it means that when they are exposed to death (for most children their first experience with death will be with a pet) they won’t be suddenly needing to learn the concept. They already have those foundations and instead can be helped through their grief and allowed to feel and express their feelings surrounding their loss.
Finally, I want to applaud you on your ending piece regarding seeking help. It was the most supportive, non-judgemental, understanding, gentle and encouraging manner that I’ve ever heard, and I will be taking a lot away from how you expressed this. Thank you, a new subscriber.
Rest in all the colours Mark and Natasha.
Rip mark you were a decent human being bro.
I watched Mark as a child, along with Natasha, Kirsten and the others. I'm a budding artist to this day, and having moved to Australia in my childhood I wasn't aware this had happened. On my only return trip to the UK as an adult, I went to London for the first time on my way to Cornwall, and stood right outside the doors of Paddington that you showed in this clip to smoke a cigarette with my luggage... Not knowing one of my favourite childhood presenters had ended his life metres away from where I stood... This universe really is an intriguing one, I hope he found peace and found Natasha again ♡
Thank you for the kind and sensitive end to this video. You're a decent man with a lovely soul. Bless you.
I’m one of the young artists who grew up watching SmArt. Mark was always so full of energy, and lots of fun. I was a teenager when I heard about his death, and it was heartbreaking. Even more so because I was also in a very dark place at the time.
I feel so bad for the family and friends of Mark and Natasha, they shouldn’t have gone the way they did. Thank you for this video, and thank you also for making sure to include the helpline numbers. If anyone is feeling suicidal, PLEASE remember: you are loved and someone will be there to listen 💖
I love this channel, and it means the world to me that you respect the deaths of people, and look out for other people. Ignoring the conspiracy theories, and showing help lines just makes me so happy.
A talented and lovely man and such a sad end for both he and his partner.Thankyou for not voicing the conspiracy theories and telling this sad story with your usual dignity .
I kindly thank you for not covering the same cases as many other channels. Another excellent video sir.
I love that!
I absolutely loved Mark on sMart, he and Kirsten were a huge part of my childhood. This is a really sensitive and well done video
Thank you for the sensitive way this was presented.
Thank you very much for this film. Very tastefully done. R.I.P Mark and Natasha.
I remember his shows and this incident, so sad. Thankyou for a respectful & informative video.
thank you for making this. like many here I was born in the 90s in the UK and at the perfect age to watch shows like Smart and Art attack. I went to college and Uni studying Art and Design and it was Mark and other Artists that helped fuel my creativity and desire to pursue Art. I was heartbroken when he died. its great to see their story told here. without the rumor's that plagued them
I am so glad I have stumbled across your channel. You are a wonderful storyteller and I have truly enjoyed each one of your videos!
Thank you so much for putting the links up for people to might need help. Mental health is so important, you very well could be saving lives with those links.
Mark was a big part of my childhood and definitely contributed to me loving art. Him and his wife seem like wonderful people and this story truly breaks my heart.
I understand what it’s like to be in a dark place and how hard it is to hold on sometimes.
Thanks for making this video. Especially for the advice at the end.
I loved watching his programme,he was a great presenter.He brightened my childhood.
I love how respectful you are for the dead. Its what puts this channel above the rest.
Thank you for this. I've been affected by his suicide for many years now. Such a sad story
Thank you for your kind and humble presentation. And for maybe helping someone seek help
I was a big fan of Mark Speight, I remember how much fun he made art and he was a great art show presenter. I was so saddened and upset when I heard he had died. Thank you for an informative video focusing on him and not the stupid conspiracy theories!! A really great video befitting a larger than life presenter!!
Kudos for the help links at the end, no one is alone and talking is the first step to help avoid tragedies like the one that took Mark.
Absolutely beautifully done, with dignity and respect to Mark & Natasha, May they rest easy ♥️
Just brilliant. Thanks for this thoughtful and kind video. I am yet to see a better presenter of this type of work. Peace be unto you..
So glad to come across your brilliant channel today. I really enjoy how you tell these stories with great tact and so tastefully, thank you for sharing!
Sadly, Oliver Speight passed away last year - I checked in every so often on Speight of the Art as it was a local charity that'd occasionally come up on the radar.
Mark Speight personified the 90s arts-and-crafts era for me. He had such chemistry and energy with any other presenter he was put with, but the trio of Mark, Kirsten and Jay just made SMart what it was. For a wee Staffordshire lass, to see this fellow Midlandsy person being unashamedly wacky and creative, it was just a joy - but also, the sadness I felt when he was in the news following Natasha Collins's death (and then his own) was very personal considering I'd never met him. I wish I could have.
Thank you for the respectful video.
I remember very clearly when he went missing, and knowing what had happened to his partner, my heart sank, well before the news came in. He was a very memorable character from our childhood TV days, and was so clearly genuine and decent, it was very, very sad.
Well done, you are amazing for not airing trash talk!! 👏
A sad but beautiful presentation of two young lives cut short by tragic events. Grief can be a terrible tormentor I often wonder if they had survived would they have had children together. So much sadness.
I was not an 90s kid so was more of Tony Hart devotee and unfortunately did not know of Mark. I thank you for making this sad film with an honourable frame. I hope they found each other in the spirit world 💖
Great video. Loved Scratchy & Co and SMart. Mark was a part of a lot of people’s childhood and he’s definitely missed from children’s TV.
Not your usual type of video but interesting all the same and done in a respectful manner like the gentleman you are. Thank you.
I know what it's like to loose the love of your life in a sudden way. My boyfriend of 15yrs was killed in a hit & run accident. He proposed to me again 2 months before the accident & I finally said yes he was so happy. They still haven't found the pos who hit him & left him there dying on our road all alone like an animal. 2 of our best friends are getting married on Oct 9th & that'll be the happiest day of their lives but never in a million years did I think I'd be having to go to his funeral on July 9th. That will be one of the worst days of mine. I never knew pain like this existed or that you could miss someone so much it physically hurts. I broke down watching this but I break down everyday. Everyday is a struggle to get through. Thank God for my daughter I've never felt suicidal before until now. If it wasn't for her I don't think I would've made it this far. I hope they're together again in heaven. I have to believe that so I'll see my boyfriend again. RIH angel's❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss god bless you he will always be in your heart 🙏♥️
Beyond sorry to hear of your grief. My cousin was also killed by a hit and run. Hope that you can find happiness in small things and continuous joy with your daughter.
Hey...so I lost my fiancé and best friend Lee in February of 2020. It was sudden and brutal. I honestly thought I'd never smile again. I honestly didn't think of survive it. But I did, and I'm even happy sometimes.
Nothing I say will make it any better, but I just wanted to tell you that your not alone. And your stronger than you think. I hope you have people around you, but of you don't, im here, and I'll always listen.
Miss you baby 🖤🖤
🙏
I lost my soulmate on my 21 birthday killed in front of me and their family by a drunk driver… I know exactly how that feels 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for posting videos such as this. Your work is very meaningful.
Such a tragedy for both of them and their family's. My kids loved mark and so did I. I love how you present the video. Don't listen to the gossip and put out the helplines . Just found the channel . Keep up the good work
Just discovered your channel, immediately subscribed, fantastic presentation, I never heard of this amazing gentleman before, thank you for sharing his sad but wonderful story. Great delivery on your part, going to dive into your other videos now, you just got a new fan from New York City!
i loved smart growing up and mark was always my favourite. I had no idea he had passed away. thank you for this video and thank you for not going into the horrible conspiracies. my heart goes out to both their family and friends.
I remember this when I was 9, I can't believe its been so long. Still very sad to think about.
A really informative, articulate and factual documentation on this tragic event. Your presentation is excellent, you could quite easily have covered the theories to increase the click count but you stayed true to the facts - also not giving any kind of credit to RH deserves a thumbs up too 👍👍👍
Wonderful man, wonderfully respectful short documentary. Well done 👏🏻
A compassionate and moving tribute. Only discovered your channel this week - loving it :)
