From 2008, Christine finishing up her license runs:

The entire Whalen Family sends their condolences to the Brewers. We are all deeply saddened to hear of Mark's passing. He was a great guy. Please let us know if we can do anything! You will be in our thoughts and prayers through this very difficult time.

The 2001 bracket finals at US 13. Notice he's #14... he didn't want the unlucky 13.

I just can't believe it. Deepest sympathy from the Barr family.

Wow, I dont know what to say. When I got the message this morning I thought it was a type-o and I had to ask if what I was reading was indeed true. Mark was a great person in whatever role he played in our lives. Im sure there are a thousand stories that can be told about the different ways Mark has touch each one of our lives. I know I have several. One time we were racing and my car broke and since I drove it to the track it was going to cost me a couple hundred bucks to get it towed home. Well when Mark found out, he offered to tow me home which is a 80 mile round trip and didn't want a dime. All I can say is Thank You Mark and the Brewers for everything you have done for me. It will never be forgotten.

My Dad and I send our condolences to the entire Brewer family. Our prayers are with you.

Condolences to Mark's family and his friends at PRP for their loss.

Very, very sad news. We will keep the Brewer family in our thoughts and prayers.

Christine and family,
We are truly at a complete loss for words. We lost a great person, friend, and competitor today in the passing of Mark. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I know it has been offered many times, but Beth and I are here if you need anything at all.

Thoughts and prayers to the Brewer family and to those at PRP who were close with Mark. You all have certainly suffered some tragic losses as a family this year but you continue to show what a racing family is about as you are always there for each other. God Bless.

Here is one of Mark running the Trusty number 53. Mark we will miss you. I know you will be watching over us.

I got the phone call from Jeff Stewart this morning and the text shortly after and I was completely stunned. We lost a good friend and a racing icon today and I just can't believe it. I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Mark as soon as I started racing because he built the Olds motor that was in my car. I always looked up to Mark because he reminded me of my dad. He always put everyone else's needs before his own and was truly a great man! Mark has moved to a better place, but he will always be missed. My sincere condolences go out to the Brewer family. If there is anything at all that I can do, please don't hesitate to call.

I was also shocked and heartbroken when i heard.ive known mark from the 80s,when i was in my 20,s and a rookie,i remember going to the backet finals in maple grove having problems with my car,not onlydid he offer me a carb to fix it he installed it and tuned it,just the type of guy he was,always had your back.myentire family offeres out deepest heartfelt condolences to the brewers.

Deepest heartfelt condolences to the brewers.

I can say although my last name is not Brewer, I really feel like I was Mark's son. For all of the times he was there for me from the time I met him. I grew up in his home and with his guidance through everything. I am truly blessed to be considered there adopted son as Ma puts it! She and the boys have all been like family to me and I will always be here! I will never forget that last time Bob and I helped out down at the shop on that motor..... It was truly amazing to watch the master at his craft. There will never be another like Big Brewer but he will be smiling down on us all! We love you Dad!!!!

One more thing, something he always told me:
Jordan, when are you going to give up those 2 wheels and let me build you a fast race car.

I will be waiting to get that car someday Dad! We love you and miss you!

Always, Thinking of Nikki....

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will send some photos to Chuck to post.
