Yes it's is so sad and sudden. He inspired a lot of us and I dreamed of meeting him this year because he was so inspiring to me personally. A great loss. Thank you Mark I will truly miss you. RIP
Mark was a great guy I met him last yr when I was dating my ex gf at the time and she left me stranded and he helped me abit get settled in a hotel for a night until my cash was wired to me to get back to ireland!! Then I paid him back once I got home So Nice to meet him and talk to him when there.RIP Buddy you will be missed.!!
Thanks for posting this, I heard via the Regular Guy vid that popped up on my YT feed on Thursday 19th Dec. I was wondering what happened to his channel, as there hadnt been a new video in over a week. Thought maybe there was a brownout or internet outage. Rip Mark, condolences to family and friends out there.
She played the long game and she won, She got the baby for the social security payment. And she got the short life so she can be free of him, I would say she did it right.
The child will receive $$$ until he's 18 years old. The widow wife will be eligible to receive $$ after 62 or older, that is if she doesn't get married. If she remarries before that age, she won't get anything. @@mcluvin65
@jimprendergast1827 Jim, yes very much so, but as he mentioned he'd had some major health issues. Same to you n yours on the festive season s. Cheers Glenn
@@SpeakingofAsiaIndeed I spent about 10 yrs in the British Merch b4 it faded away about 6-7yrs on cargo/tankers etc n the last 3-4yrs on cruise ships, partially to finance some of my other studies... Cheers Glenn Again , bin dar dun dat....lol..
Until he assaulted Dexter....a disabled man....at Ground Zero and he was banned from there and had legal issues due to his assault of a disabled man. But let's sweep all that stuff under the rug!
Sad news indeed Simon. I'd never met him but watched a few of his vlogs. Sad he has left a wife and baby behind. Really nice comments from your good self china. Cheers
R.I.P. condolences to his family..in one of his videos 'old men making babies' @8:22 he said that he had 'ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD'..hope this will be a wake up call to all of us.
All the same, I’m sure his wife - and certainly not the child - wouldn’t have wished they’d never expanded the family. After all, no one truly knows when our time is up.
Yes sad news indeed, I would not have discovered your channel if it wasn't for him interviewing you Simon. Rip Mark and best wishes and prayers for his family 🙏
@ScoreGuru123 you have no idea what you’re talking about. Yes his child should’ve already been receiving a Social Security benefit based on Mark drawing his Social Security. Now that he has passed, his son will receive an additional amount called surviving child benefit. Which is a benefit made to the child’s representative payee, which that might have to be changed if Mark was in the payee position, but it will be an increase over what his monthly benefit was for the child. It doesn’t matter where you’re born if you have an American parent as long as you go through the process of doing the CRBA. Counselor report of birth abroad. The child should have a Social Security number and I’m sure Mark probably got a passport for the child. Also maybe not but he would be eligible for a US passport. I know this because my twins who are four years old were born here in the Philippines in 2020 And receive of a nice amount each month in Filipino terminology.
@@BiffJohnsonIII except it’s totally wrong. The child should’ve already been receiving a benefit from Social Security because of Mark’s own Social Security amount each month. Now that amount for the child will be increased due to what’s called a surviving child benefit. And it doesn’t matter what country you’re born in if your parent is a US citizen you are a US citizen.
Your too nice a guy, you gave him the biggest break ever by not letting people comment on his interview. You showed class not really seen in you tube But I have to say I was a little bummed , those comments would have been classic Stay safe
Mark made a comment on his channel about 3 years ago which caused me to choose the Philippines for my retirement. I'm saddened by his passing and I'll miss his online presence. The few negative vlogs about him only cause me to dismiss their envious creators.
I’ve seen a few of his videos but was never a subscriber. All the same, obviously it’s terrible news and my thoughts go out to his young family. As you say - RIP Mark.
This is a very sad story. I've watched 90% of Mark's videos over the Years. What did Mark do, when he met Jen she was in collage. He's was the reason she stop going. He said he was going to buy land and build her a house. One of the videos he made with her she was upset and said where is my land & house and he made excuses. What did her leave her and the baby and a hard life in poverty.
WTAF! Just logged on and this terrible news popped up in my YT feed. Followed Mark from his early days in Philippines - I remember fondly his videos from his old place in Valencia. Something very relaxing about him sitting on the veranda, talking to camera, with that mountain backdrop. This video is classic Mark: th-cam.com/video/6CGy5oOdiC0/w-d-xo.html Also his interview with Mike is one of the best: th-cam.com/video/pnIb51-BJbk/w-d-xo.html Not sure what will happen to his content from now on - if you get the chance watch these two if you've not done so...
i hope Mark had life insurance their are a lot of old expat that live in the philippines their is Dennis who is married to a very young filipina they both have their own youtube channel right now he is in the hospital i hope he has insurance in case when it happen Mark RIP
I'm surprised you would risk another video since the last one got so many toxic comments you had to turn the comments off. People seem to have mellowed since that last video! Anyway my opinion of Thornton still stands!
Mark and Jen fabulous love story xoxo Keep living and loving and spreading kindness.
Yes it's is so sad and sudden. He inspired a lot of us and I dreamed of meeting him this year because he was so inspiring to me personally.
A great loss.
Thank you Mark I will truly miss you. RIP
Totallt shock by his passing. SUch a great guy on his interviews interviewing expast stories. RIP Mark
Sad news my condolences to his wife and family.
My sympathies to you on the passing of your friend Mark. May he RIP.
Sad news, I enjoyed his videos. Got me through the pandemic. He's the reason I plan on visiting the Philippines. RIP Mark.
Terrible news. Mark was a great guy. He interviewed me twice and had a big heart. My thoughts go out to Jen and Rogan. Such a shock.
🥲 IS Rogan his son ?
@ yes.

Rest in peace mark
I hope his wife and child will be financially ok

Simon,
Sorry to hear that, condolences to his families.
We worked on some of the same cruise ships in the 80s.
Cheers

That's interesting Glenn, I didn't know you were involved with cruise ships. It's a small world 👍
sad news Glenn about Mark.(Wishing you a happy and healthy Xmas and new year)
Take care and very best wishes Jim

Sad news to hear Mark Thornton’ passing as he was the most prolific vlogger from Ground Zero at his peak.
😪
Until he assaulted Dexter....a disabled man....at Ground Zero and he was banned from there and had legal issues due to his assault of a disabled man. But let's sweep all that stuff under the rug!
A nice tribute video, Simon. RIP Mark Thornton.
Thanks mate, it's always difficult to know what to say in this kind of situation
It came from the right place and I think you hit the right note.
RIP Mark
