The loss of Mark from the world is almost too great to bear. He was a singularly kind, intelligent and above all an honest man. Ruth, Mimi and Lil our hearts ache for you, his time was too short but his memory will remain for a long, long time. All our love, Karl and Anita.

BRYCE (Mark):

I'm so sad to hear this, and I have Ruth and the rest of Mark's family in my thoughts. I stumbled here after he randomly (and oddly) popped into my head a few days ago. I have shed a tear or two since then, as Mark was the teacher who made my life better, made me want to be better and do better.

I absolutely adored him, and looked up to him. I'm forever grateful to him for investing in me, even when I made it difficult... but his kindness, sense of humour and incredible brain will no doubt continue to live on in every student he invested in.

Everything I am today, is in part due to Mark's influence. I'm sure I'm just one of thousands - I know I'm at least one of quite a few Media Room geeks.

Ruth, I know this is hard, but there are people that care very much - no matter how far they may have drifted over the years.

Even though as adults we understand that teaching is a job, at the time, the personal impact they have on us is huge. Mark was a stable force in my life, an incredible person, and gone too soon.

Much love (from the future),

Téa

BRYCE (Mark):

Here I am feeling sorry for myself with the flu - and when I read of Mark's passing my ailment pales into insignificance - I remember Mark supporting me when I was going through some of my training. I was blinded by my insecurities but his quiet gentleness shone - thank you Mark

Dear Ruth, Miriam and Lillian.

In loving memory of Mark. Our deepest sympathy.

Thinking of you. Love Louann and Kevin.

BRYCE (Mark):

Cherished memories of a creative and compassionate man. Mark played a mean guitar and had a smile that showed the universe. He was an important presence in my uni and early teaching days. Ruth and family, Mark blessed and so keeps blessing the lives of those who had the good fortune to have met him along the journey. Much love, Phil and Michele McNamara.

BRYCE (Mark):

My heart goes out to Mark's family at what must be an incredibly difficult time. Mark was an inspiration to so many students who studied at WASADM, I was just one of them. I remember him as a kind, gentle man who was always there to support the students and staff. He shone brightly and I am sure that he has left a lasting impression on many other students, not just me.  RIP Mark.

Claire Gordon

BRYCE (Mark):

Our lives and hearts are forever touched by the magic of knowing and loving Mark. We shared so many happy times...so much laughter, fun and friendship. We will hold wonderful memories of a beautiful friend in our hearts always. Our deepest love and sympathy to Ruth, Mim and Lilla.

Sally, Greg and Emily

BRYCE (Mark):

Lovely, gentle Mark we will miss your smile and slightly wicked sense of humour. The husband and father you were to your girls, show us all what true love looks like. Our hearts are with Ruth, Mimi and Lilla. Love and hugs, Jason, Kristy, Ella and Oliver Cooke

Kristy Cooke

BRYCE (Mark):

Ohh Uncle Mark you will be so missed amongst all the students and staff, amongst your friends, and especially amongst your family. You were one of the good guys here on Earth. Cracking jokes, always smiling, and your awesome sense of humour! Thank you for all those moments you shared with me at TAFE, always making it a better place. DEP Querido Marco.

Carolina Whittaker

BRYCE (Mark):

Mark touched the hearts and souls of many students and lecturers he helped throughout their studies and careers. Often with lots of wisdom and dry wit that would bring a smile to any face. He helped inspire many along with assisting all to develop and grow. He will be missed by all.

John Fitz Simmons

BRYCE (Mark):

As I begin to write this, I find myself still taken to a void. A space of this loss and despair about Mark that words become redundant to describe. Yet, even whilst there wrestling with what to say, in my minds eye I see Mark smiling and once again, he brings me to myself and out of the space in which I'm caught. What was it he imbued that enabled him to do this? No matter what quandary, what turmoil, what angst I was embroiled within, Marks innate ability to lift me and others, out into that calm and balance energy, that tangible presence he had and generated. I loved his lightness of being, he'd give you a bit, his sense of fun and subversive mischievous humour. His quick wit and sharp mind, his compassion and affection he gave. To his Ruth, to his beloved daughters, my heart and thoughts are with you. Mark will always be with me, carried in my memories, my lived experiences and what he gave me, taught me is now an aspect of of me. He is both gone and not gone simultaneously, yet I will miss him, for the richness and depth of him only he could convey. In our collective sadness and grief, remember it is our love for him, love, that unites us.

BRYCE (Mark):

My darling friend Mark...I am amazed at how often you cross my mind. Usually when I think of sharing something with you, a new appreciation of Apple, the curve of a beautiful line, or another fabulous cheese.

I am forever grateful for the years we all spent together, full of so much food and fun. I have always been amazed by your intelligence and compassion, your gentleness and generosity, your sensitivity and sense of humour, your patience and your kindness.

In your footsteps, I can see so much of you in Mimi and Lilla. They are beyond beautiful and I love them as much as I do our darling Ruthie. I will always look after all of your girls and watch over them with you.

With love and remembering,

Life is Butter-Dream

BRYCE (Mark):

As my wife and I navigate through the countless challenges of parenting our now 11 month old and 3 year old... there is one person who continues to come to mind, and that is you Mark Bryce. Your calmness and pleasant energy was a state of being that was something so rare to find, so that every encounter with you was a joy, only to be lifted further by your sense of humour, your patience and willingness to give. You always managed to crack a smile and throw in a joke, even during the hardest times.

You are one of the most favourite persons I have ever met in my lifetime and I do wish there were more like you.

Love to the family, who were so lucky to have him in their lives and now forever in their hearts.

Darren Mok

BARYCE (Mark):

I have returned too late, sought you out too late, and here I find you, too late. My friend, I am sorry, I have missed you and I will forever miss you, knowing more than you that the course of my life has been forever guided my your generosity, kindness, and gentle wit. Without you I wouldn't have had any of the major professional and personal turning points in my life, yet I was just another in a crowd of people you shared your gifts with. Returning now to Perth it really does feel smaller, and now I know why. Goodbye and Rest in Peace my friend.

Three years ago today Mark took his last breath.

Forever loved, forever remarkable, forever yours

Ruthie, Mim and Lilla

BRYCE (Mark):

In loving memory of our darling Mark (Marco, Papa, Big P). One year of missing Mark today.

There's a Mark sized hole in our lives.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever remarkable.

"i carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart) i am never without it (anywhere

i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

Forever yours

Ruthie, Mim and Lilla Bean

Ruth Drake-Brockman

BRYCE (Mark):

Not a day goes past when I don't think of you.

With fondness, with love, with a smile, with sadness that you are no longer here with us.

I know you watch over us all, your girls and your home.

I think of you with every sound of a red-tail, every cheese, unboxing another Apple device, when I see a beautiful photo.

I think of you when I see Mim smile, when Lilla shows us just how clever she is, when I see Ruth's heart.

And I cry inwardly, for the loss to us all.

And I make it my mission in life to help your girls smile and laugh again, even if for a moment.

BRYCE (Mark):

Remembering one of the best.

BRYCE (Mark):

One year and it seems like yesterday.

Much grief reflects much love.

BRYCE (Mark):

Deepest sympathies love and strength to Mr Bryce's wife Ruth and to his girls. I have fond memories of smiles and laughter in Mr Bryce's media studies class at Kent St in the early to mid 1990's. He was a terrific teacher and a lovely kind man who loved his students. Gone too soon. Rest In Peace Mr Bryce.

BRYCE (Mark):

A special person to all who knew you. Ruth and your girls will always miss you as will we. 

Love Grant, Sharon and Nan.
