Mark Mattinson

Today I learned that my cousin past away last night. He was in an ATV accident down in Mt.Pleasant. He was drunk or have been drinking while he was riding his 4 wheeler.
I am sure that if he had not been drinking he would still be here today. What makes it really sad is that this is the third child that my aunt and uncle have lost in the past 4 yrs. Their only daughter Jackie passed away in November of 2004, her and her husband were driving down to Phoenix when they got in a horrible car wreck and they both lost their lives. Just out side of Wikie Up, Arizona. In January of 08 their son Max passed away he had a seizure, and now Mark. You would think losing your children it would make you closer to your other children but instead it has drove the family apart. When their dad did not attend their funeral. I don't know how you could not go to your own child's funeral. I pray for them that they are able to find peace within themselves. To lose your life at such a young age in your early forties.
Mark I hope that you are out of pain and is reunited with grandma and grandpa and your uncles, and your son Nick.
