First, I just want to tell Claudine and Avery and all of Mark’s family and friends how deeply sorry we are at The Berrics that you have lost someone so important to you and so loved by you and someone who clearly loved you so much back. I’ve known Mark since I was a brace-faced teenager living in Nebraska, which, at the time, felt like the moon in terms to its proximity to the skateboarding world. However, with the opening of our indoor park we eventually attracted many of the early skateboarding pioneers who ventured the open road looking for people to meet and new places to skate. The very people who, had they not done what they’d done in the time they did it, skateboarding would not be what it is and all these things you see now would not be what they are. @skatepunk22 very much fit into that mold as he was part of the wave of skateboarders who created it. You see, until the point he entered our skatepark doors, I had only known Mark Waters in the way one would know names from the Bible for every issue of Transworld that arrived to the park we, without fail, would see at the bottom of many pages, connected to some of the most prominent photographs, his name, Mark Waters. He was a skateboarder, a photographer, a writer, and after meeting him that day I discovered that Mark Waters was one hell of a nice human being. It wasn’t but a few short years later I found my own self on the road with Mark, traveling across America on a Foundation tour, as he commandeered our ship, looking out for the entire crew. Smart, patient, talented, sensitive but also tough when he needed to be, I admired, respected and loved Mark and I know for a fact the entirety of skateboarding did as well, simply proven by the immense outpouring of grief by some of the most prominent people in our culture at the news of his passing. That love will never go away, not from me, nor from the world he played an inedible part in creating, one that reached places he probably never dreamed it would as he set sail on some of those early road trips. It’s people like Mark that made the industry special instead of specious. He will be so sorely missed on a scale I cannot fathom. - sb
