This is terrible news. He was a pretty young guy, any idea what happened? Sorry to hear of the loss of another member of our community.
 
I really hate to hear this news. I met Mark in the mid to late 80's. He was one of those guys you could ask when you were stumped and he would always offer suggestions. One heck of a smart guy. Always treated me very nice. He'll be missed.
 
I only got to really know Mark this past year. Great guy and he'll be truly missed. I just wished I had more time to get to know him.

Rest In Peace Mark!
 
I'v known mark for 20 years and no matter what day it was he would work on your car. One of the smartest guys I'v ever known. Rest in peace my Friend.
 
Rest in peace and my God bless he family and loved ones!

I understand. Mark was also my mentor in many many ways. I'm very happy that i did eat dinner with him monday night.


Godspeed Mark S Riley I will miss you
 
Sorry to hear that... He worked on many a Buick! RIP! May God bless him and the family...
 
Although Mark and I havent been on the best of terms for the last 15 years or so, this news saddens me. Meeting Mark back in 1987 changed the direction of my life. For a couple of years, I was a constant presense in his shop, driving from Raleigh to Greensboro almost every day, working on my car, eatting dinner at Elizabeth's or Western Sizzlin' and driving back home. Mark taught me a lot about Buicks and really got me started on working on them and trying to figure out how to make them faster.

Rest in peace, Mark
 
My sincere condolences to all who were close to Mark. He will be missed. He was always nice to me. If anyone knows of funeral arrangements, please post them

i met mark at richard clarks meet and he was a great guy wish i could have gotten to know him better
may you rest in peace mark
 
This is very sad and surprising news. I only met Mark once when he welded a Racegate onto a downpipe for me. He seemed like a nice guy. How old was he? I would have thought no older than late 40's maybe 50.

May God bless and comfort his family in this time of sorrow and loss.
