We didn’t know Mark very well but when he came to visit the Shaw side of the family In the UK it was obvious he was a kind & loving person. Janelle & Mark were perfectly matched and it was a pleasure to finally see our extended family from OZ.
On hearing the news of Marks passing we were all shocked and cannot comprehend the loss you are feeling. Only to say even though we are many miles away we feel within touching distance and sending our love and thoughts at this emotional time. Thinking of you George, Dorothy,Jon & Tina.

I went to Noble Park Technical School with a Mark Sanders (1972-1976). I’m not sure if he’s the same one but Mark was one of the friendlier and popular classmates of my secondary school years. Only stumbled across this website by chance. Apologies to the family if it’s a different Mark Sanders.
Kevin Sheean
The first day Mark arrived at the Shed, and we found out that we were both Accountants, rode bikes and drove the same vehicles there was an instant gravitation.
That’s for your friendship and many chats.
R.I.P. Mark.
Sadly missed.

Sorry you have left this world Mark. I didn’t see you in your last years. But enjoyed your company and dinners when we all caught up. Rest in Peace now Mark. You will be missed by those who had the pleasure of knowing you.

I played pickleball with Mark a few times and the last time I saw him unfortunately, was at the trivia night on Saturday, he sat at our table. I found him to be very kind as he checked on me a few times when I injured my back recently and asked if I needed anything. His passing is such a shock to us all. My deepest condolences to his family
Brenda Burrows
I watched Marks service online. I wish I was able to attend. Give you a hug. Be there with you. I can only imagine how you all feel. Hard to comprehend Mark is no longer here. Hearing about his life Yes. He left way too soon. Thinking of you all.
