Mark & Amy Selbee

I was awakened early this morning by the sound of my cell phone ringing and sad news of the passing of a Good Friend.
I cried.
I’ve continued to cry for the better part of the day.
And as the day has gone on, I’ve received call after call and text after text from friends far and near.
So sad.
Calls to extend condolences & hugs and ask for explanations or details of what actually happened to our friend.
We may never know.

One thing is for certain, we all have great memories of Mark Selbee.

Mark was Everyone’s Best Friend.
Mark made everyone laugh.

Found on a friend’s FB page this evening:
“R.I.P. Selbee. You were a pain in the ass and you loved every minute of it.”

Sooooo, True!

And to THAT allow me to add this:  —–> Mark was the only guy I knew who could punch a dude in the face while training/sparring — break the dude’s nose and then make him think it was his own damn fault.
I can hear Selbee laughing about it now.

Peace Be With You, Mark Selbee.
We will pray for you.
And our prayers will continue for your wife – Amy and your children, your entire family and all those whose lives you have touched…
Hopefully, we will see you again on the other side.
