@browncoats Esau 'Mark' Kessler
loving kind-hearted easy going gentle-spirited uber-talented creative tenacious devastatingly handsome dear friend father fiancé
At 6:50 am, Sunday, December 14th, our dear friend Easu Lafcadio 'Mark' Kessler lost his battle with esophageal cancer and went home to be with his Savior.
Mark was diagnosed this spring when he began struggling with eating and keeping food down which resulted in excessive weight loss. With his fiance, Dana, and other dear friends and family by his side, Mark spent several months in a blur of treatments, biopsies, scans and operations. As a self-employed graphic designer, he had less than ideal health insurance and eventually reached the point where he was unable to work at all.
Thanks to the generosity of so many, this site has been instrumental in helping ease the financial burdens Mark faced this year. The needs now center around funeral costs and other related expenses. Please continue to share this site and thank you again for your compassion and willingness to give.
As always, prayers for Dana, Mark's children and family and all those who have loved him best are greatly appreciated.
