Mark Friedman Obituary

I recall some wonderful conversations with Mark. We had differing points of view but we always managed to be able to express ourselves and know that the other person heard and respected our opinion. He was always a delightful person to know. We shared several activities starting with Cub Scouts and Bollinger Elementary or Iron Horse Middle School fund raisers. God Bless your spirit. I know you're likely off somewhere in heaven having meaningful debates.

I'm heartsick. It seems like only yesterday that I worked with Mark at a tiny IT consultancy in San Ramon.

But that was a long 15 years ago at the beginning of my career and many times since then I thought of reaching out and finding out how he's doing

Rest easy, Mark. I'll always remember your unflappable calm and your good humor. Thanks for everything.

So very sorry to hear of Marks passing. We are so saddened for him and his family

Mark was a great coach when my son was in elementary school, he was always kind and positive with our son. I had the pleasure of knowing him as our sons where close in age. Im so sad to here of his passing and send my condolences to his wife, children and family.

Mark was my friend, co worker, and fellow trouble maker for many years. He got me to the gym when I didn't want to go and was always supportive of me. A wonderful person in many ways

Our sincere condolences to the entire family. This tribute in his memory is a lasting legacy to his character and importance to his family and community.

This is a beautifully written tribute to a great man. I am so sorry, Susan and family, for your tragic loss. I didn't know Mark well, though you often spoke of him with so much love. Wishing you peace and togetherness as you grieve.

I and many others I know have always had the utmost respect and admiration for Mark. He had a wonderful spirit, a fun and infectious laugh and someone you always get along with and communicate with even if you disagreed with his reasoning on a given subject. I enjoyed Mark's intellect and social consciousness and the times shared at school, social or Scout functions together. Your family was also a great blessing when we lost Elaine just 2 short years ago. God bless you Mark, Sue and your whole family during this trying time. San Ramon has lost a great man. You will be sorely missed! My sincerest condolences,
David Hagebush

There is nothing more to say, as this is so well written and truly describes the spirit of Mark. We will miss you.

Thinking of the family and wishing them comfort and peace

I worked with Mark at the University. What a wonderful, encouraging, positive, and all-around nice guy. I will miss him very much. My heart goes out to his family.
