On Thursday, March 18, Mark Thornell lost his battle with bile-duct/liver cancer, but he won the sweetest of victories as he entered heaven and the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We covet your prayers for Kristen, Andrea and all of Mark and Kristen's family that loved him deeply.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Mark's honor to the Robert D. Fowler YMCA.
Mark served the Y movement for his entire career, beginning as a counselor at Camp High Harbour at Lake Burton and then after college, Mark built his Y career in Boise, Savannah, Atlanta (West Gwinnett), Birmingham, Port Orange, Louisville and then back to Atlanta in January 2012. In coming home, he took on the role as the Executive Director of the Robert D. Fowler Y in the community where he grew up.
We celebrate Mark's life and will share with you how your contributions help honor Mark's legacy in the Y.
