am 13. July 2015 erhielt ich die Nachricht, dass Mark am 14. June 2015 verstorben ist.Dies hat mich sehr erschüttert. Wir haben uns im May 2013 an Bord der Blue Puttees kennengelernt. Vom ersten Augenblick verband uns sehr große Sympathie füreinander und wir schlossen jeweils den anderen in unser Herz. Wir durften uns 3 mal in unserem Leben begegnen und zusammen etwas erleben. Diese Begenungen waren von Liebe und Freundlichkeit geprägt. Diese Begegnungen werde ich nicht vergessen. Sie werden in meinem Herzen bleiben. Bei unserer letzten Begegnung schenkte Mark mir zwei schöne Tage und zeigte mir sein Haus, sein Land, seine Stadt St.John. Bei euch zu Hause durfte ich auch dich, Elizabeth kennenlernen. Du hattest mir am Morgen einen Kaffee gemacht und mit mir ein paar Worte gewechselt.Mark war ein Mensch voller Liebe, ja man kann sagen er war die Liebe in Person.Ich danke Gott, dass ich so einem lieben Menschen, wie Mark begegnen durfte.Für die Zukunft wünsche ich euch viel Kraft und Trost aus der Hand Gottes.Dear Elizabeth, dear Kyle and dear Gareth. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Holger FieronStapelfeld, Germany

My deepest sympathy to the family of Mark Lewis. I had the pleasure of working with Mark from day one when we traveled to Europe to acquire our new vessels and on the Blue Puttees when she went into service. His excellent knowledge of the systems on board the Blue Puttees was duly noted, he would pass that knowledge onto me or any crew member in the engine room.It was an honor and pleasure to work with Mark, i will truly miss him, rest in peace Mark.Leo Brown Second EngineerBlue Puttees

My sincere condolences. As you reflect on cherished memories to be comforted also take to heart our Creator's loving promise to end death and all forms of suffering. He will reunite us with our loved ones to enjoy a life of true happiness and peace forever. (Revelation 21:4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Acts 24:15 " And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." ) The following link provides more comforting thoughts from God's word: www.jw.org/en/publications/books/dead-live-again-tract/dead-live-again/

Our thoughts and prayers are with you since we heard of the passing of Mark. We have always been so grateful for the the care that you all gave to our son Ryan while he was in Saint John. He always spoke so highly of Mark during his stay with your family. It was obvious that Mark was a very positive influence on Ryan. As parents you can only hope the path of your children introduce them to positive people. There was no doubt that Mark was able to provide that for our son. We will always be grateful

Mark was more than a Colleague and always a friend. To work with Mark as a fellow Engineer, and discuss many problems and solutions was an honor and a privilege. Mark always wanted to know the answer and would never stop asking questions about what was on his mind. His attention to detail and go the extra mile was ever so appreciated and he always did more than his share. We will miss Mark as he always had a calm demeanor which could bring order to our confused situations we always seem to get into. No matter what time or day, we could depend on Mark. We wish to extend condolences to his remaining family and relatives who Mark always talked about. We have certainly lost a great person this day and everyone will certainly remember him in their own special way.

I first met Mark when I was assigned to the Blue Puttees in January 2011. It didn't take long for me to realize that he possessed qualities that made him an exemplary Chief Engineer; presence of mind, an excellent knowledge of the sophisticated equipment on the vessel, and the ability to stay cool even under periods of stress.But the most memorable thing about this man was his sense of humour and ability to interact with others.I usually called Mark "Chief" when addressing him. Almost at the end of our last shift, he looked at me and said with that unmistakeable British accent, "Steve, just call me Mark, will you"?Well Mark, I know you're in God's hands now. You will be missed here for sure. And heaven will be a better place with you in it.My deepest and sincerest condolences to Mark's family and close friends.

My deepest condolences go out to Mark's family. I worked side by side with Mark for the years he was Chief Engineer on the Blue Puttees and he was not only my boss but a very dear friend. I will miss his smile and quick wit and I will always remember that no matter what would happen in the day to day work aboard the boat he was always cool under pressure and never lost his head when things went wrong. When my wife's family suffered the deaths of her mother and older sister over the last 2 years he was there with kindness and compassion for our losses. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten. RIP old friend.

Beth, Kyle & Gareth and extened family - there are no words at this time that will change things or lessen the deep hurt you are feeling - but sharing memories of Mark - hearing all the stories of how he engaged people, treated co-workers, friends, family etc. will help a tiny bit on your journey in the days to come. I have always had great respect for Mark and any of the times I would cross paths with him on the Princess of Acadia I could be guaranteed that he would have a huge smile, a wink in his eye and a laugh. He never ceased to talk about his family and ALWAYS asked about my girls. He really was one of the good guys - and he leaves a huge hole in many hearts now. Please know that I am lifting each of you up in prayer - and Beth especially I pray that God will bring you comfort and sustain you as you go forward without him to share your days. R.I.P. Mark

Dear Mrs Lewis and entire Lewis family,I was a colleague of Mark during his days as Chief Engineer on the ferry Princess of Acadia. I eventually also ended up in North Sydney with the Newfoundland ferry fleet. It was great shock to learn from others of Mark's sudden passing whilst on his ship. I recall him to be extremely knowledgeable and professional and a pleasure to work with.Dear Mrs Lewis and family, my heart goes out to all of you. I cannot begin to imagine the anguish and pain you must all feel of losing a husband, father and friend. My sincerest condolences to you all.Anthonie de Hoog

My deepest sympathy to the family of Mark Lewis, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time, what a wonderful person Mark lewis was, I do not believe I can ever remember a time when Mark was not smiling, he had a wonderful personallity, he dearly loved his family and spoke quite often of them. I had the privilege of both knowing and working with Mark for some 25+ years, most recently with Marine Atlantic over the past 6/7 years. Its very hard to understand the reasoning behind his passing, the Lord works in mysterious ways, I know Heaven will be a much better place now with Mark Lewis.

My deepest sympathies and prayers to Mark's family and friends. I was Mark's storekeeper many times during his time with Marine Atlantic. He treated me with such respect and kindness, he was one of my favorite Chief Engineers, bosses, co-workers and friends. He always made me feel welcome and included in a male-dominated industry. My heart is broken. I hope you find solace in knowing how loved and admired Mark was, and always will be.
