RIP Mark Waters
« on: January 03, 2021, 06:45:17 AM »
Mark Waters has been battling COVID-19 and is not doing well. He and his wife have not been able to work, and expenses are beginning to pile up. Please help if you can.

There was no wire. Clark's planet needed him.

Rooting for Mark to beat this wicked virus. My cousin was on a vent and she got off, so it is possible.

Weird thing to say about someone who's on a ventilator.

Not only has Mark done a ton for skateboarding, he also did so much for the music scene in Southern California for a few years. He opened such an awesome venue/skatepark a few years back(that unfortunately came to an end).

Mark was the best in 90-93 woodward, helping all the kids take pictures, even though it might not have been his class. He helped me get a few great shots of early AW Potter, Dyrdek, and Santos and Brauch. Followed most everything sense.

Mark was so nice when I met him.   Pretty sure he was the director at Woodward at the time. 90-92 were the years I went.  Don't think he ran the photo class, but took the time to help me compose shots of Pitre, Dyrdek, Santos, May anyways. Encouraging anyone in the photography class.

Update from the GoFundMe:

"There are no words. Your generosity and love and support is SO overwhelming and incredibly, incredibly kind. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mark continues to fight. Still critical, still in the ICU and still needing a ventilator to help him breathe. I keep expecting him to walk in the door and give us his 2 cents about yesterday’s events . I know we all wish this nightmare was over, but we’re told it’s going to be a long process.

Please keep praying and sending all your good energy. ❤️"

damn Covid...  I remember his name since I started skating in 89.  Thanks for the years of wonderful photos and helping shape my youth.  He was also involved with some awesome SD bands in the late 90's (Crimson Curse being one)
Rest easy man

Fuck, that's awful. I got to go out to LA for an Emerica event and he helped coordinate the whole thing as far as my flights, hotel, shuttle, etc. My flight was delayed and I didn't land until 2am but he still answered his phone and solved my shuttle issues and had a smile on his face in the morning when we saw each other. Heartbreaking. RIP.
