RIP mark m8

make people laugh in heaven :P

Its hard to believe that its been 3 years since you were taken from us. I watched you all the time on TV and it was like we grew up together. You seemed always to be there through my late teens, my 20's, my marriage, my 30's. I was down or upset, I would put the TV on and you were always there to brighten my day and make me smile again. I think of you often and hope that where ever you are now you are painting rainbows for us all to see down here. Miss you Mark and always will.

mark you were a true inspration to kids everywere and also to the world of art.

rest in peace buddy your with nat and your mum again.

i kept an eye on your brushes

I haven't left a tribute yet and I thought it is about time I should. I want to let you know how popular you were and that you will never be forgotten. I'm happy that you're in happy place now, for I know you couldn't cope in this cruel world, sometimes I wish that you dragged me up there too, even if you don't know me personally. I still can't believe you've gone. You're pure talent. I hold back these tears to say, keep shinin'. Much love to all the family andfriends of Mr Mark Speight, plenty of love to the man himself.x x x

Mark you were a true friend and i still cant believe that you are gone. you will always be missed. Rest in peace Mark. love, light and peace!

I recently heard Oliver (Mark's dad) speak at a presentation evening at my nephew's school in Stoke-on-Trent. I did not know who he was at first but as he spoke, I realised who Mark was and was deeply moved at his dad's bravery and conviction to turn his own loss into the SP8 Foundation. What a wonderful inspiration and a reminder that there is always hope in the world..Thank you*

Mark you are still my favourite artist in the world. Thanks to you im top in my art class and you showed me that us lefties can still be good artists even if our handwriting is rubbish!! Miss u xx

He was a true Legend on CBBC's Childrens art program SMart. But his memory still lives on. We all miss Mark. And Mark if you are watching over us now. I want you to hear this. YOU ARE WAY BETTER AT THE SMART PROGRAM THAN THAT AMERICAN PERSON WHO HAS TOOK OVER. R.I.P Mark!

He was a true legend and his memory will still live on he is way better than that american person on SMART on CBBC now! We all miss you Mark. So sad that you left us. R.I.P to my idol. I wanted to be an artist like you!
