In memory of Mark Banks

It has been incredibly painful to know that such a beautiful soul is with us no more. Thank you and rest in peace, dear Mark. All the lives you touched with your kindness and generosity will never forget you.

Mark you were a wonderful colleague and friend, always with a smile, happy to help whoever and whatever was asked of you. Your courage to the end was amazing, deflecting the attention away from you and the pain you were in to your family and friends. Rest in peace mate.

Mark was such a wonderful person with a gentle and caring soul. I worked closely with Mark and throughout these years, he has always been so friendly, patience, and generous with his time. He took a genuine interest in everyone and was so giving. He fought so bravely till the very end. But he never let anyone know how much pain he endured, because he didn’t want us to worry. There will never be another Mark and I will always remember him in my heart.

Mark was such a kind and generous man - never once heard him raise his voice or speak unkindly about anyone. We will all miss him dearly. I have a lasting reminder of his kindness and patience when I look at my front lawn - he is the one that guided me (ever so patiently) on how I could make it beautiful. Also, changed my view of Harley riders for the better! Thanks Mark.

In memory of a remarkable colleague and friend whose kindness and patience touched us all. Your enduring spirit and the memories we shared will continue to inspire us. You are missed

A generous and considerate colleague who will be missed.

I'll always remember Mark as a very patient, approachable and kind person. He was endlessly patient with all my IPOS requests for help over the years and always so willing to help with a smile.

Mark, Thank you so much for the help you have given to me. Your kindness and positive energy will always be remembered.

Goodbye Mark, you were always there to offer a helping hand when we required assistance. We learnt so much from you and you will be greatly missed by me and the IS Service Desk team

It was a pleasure working with you Mark. I had no idea you were ill mate, such was your endless positivity.

Much love to you and family…
