Mark was a school friend of my big brother (also named Mark!), they went through Parish and QEHS together. I didn't really know Bonnett until we worked together at Mobileshop. He took me under his wing like I was his little sister and he looked out for me, and also took the mick like any big brother would. He called me Hatton. We geeked out together over the Transformers movie (original of course!) He introduced me to some great music. I particularly remember Evanescence and how much he loved Amy Lee, and through Revolver I found a love for Wishing Well and Run to the Hills because of Mark's epic drumming. We moved away and I'm sorry that I was terrible at keeping in touch. I would have enjoyed geeking out with you again

Mark, you were and will always be a huge personality. I'm proud to have played alongside you in many a band, laughed together over many a drink be it a pint of coke or something a little stronger and debated the trials and tribulations of life. You were my back up and rock for my speech at my wedding and always around even if we couldn't always see you. You'll be sadly missed but never forgotten. Keep on drumming my friend. Xx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Mark. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
