❤ Dear Sir, while watching your video, I had to fight against my tears. I lost my mother six years ago at the age of 72 on that horrible desease. And I agree what you said about passing away your parents but loosing a child at any age is the most devastating thing in your life. You are such a kind grandpa and dad and my heart broke during your video. I sent a lot of hugs from Belgium and I will keep following you and Matt. Kind regards.
I followed Mark’s cancer journey and it’s every bit as painful today as it was then. He was so genuine and kind, and my heart breaks that he’s not here today.
I literally praise Our Lord that Mark has no suffering, but literally celebrating Eternal live in Jesus Christ’s arms. Dr. Lee,never worry or need to say sorry about needing breaks! So happy to hear that Jackie is running the vet clinic too. ✝️🙏🏼👆🏼🥰
3 years...wow, one of my favorite memories is of Mark and Matt out in the middle off the river on 4-wheelers. Matt drops his camera in the water, Mark says "what number was that?" and Matt says "Don't tell Mere!" We love you all and our prayers are still with you.
3 years?! Doesn't seem like it. I remember when we heard he passed, we both cried. Mark will always have a special spot in our hearts. We continue to pray for all of y'all, including Jaci and the kids. We love you and your family, Dr. Lee. **Big hugs.**
thanks for the update, i sure miss the home ade everything videos and marks personality. i still have and wear two of the fund raiser build it stronger t shirts (which oddly coinside with a life changing injury event for me) . Anyway I know time helps the hurt heal, but it will never go away and that is because you won't let marks memory be lost. Prayers sent for your family's comfort . Be well sir
I really couldn’t imagine. I lost my younger cousin who was like a brother/son in a weird way to me. I took him from a group home at 16 when I found out his mother and step father had abandoned him. He died in 2018 and I’ve never felt right since. Couldn’t explain how it feels honestly just not right I guess
I'm glad Matt keeps the little snippet of Mark at the end of his videos. Such brotherly love there, doing what they enjoy. I hope that Drew has stepped up to give Matt a hard time now.
You are a wonderful man. There is no doubt that you will go to heaven. My husband (killed at 29) will be waiting for me. Maybe Mark, you, me and my husband can all visit awhile when we are all there! Wouldn't that be amazing. I love you and your family and know those precious children are going to be unbelievable adults. Thank you for all the videos and all the sweet sentiments you send our way. God bless y'all.💕
We lost our 17 year old son 4 years ago, from one father to another, may there be peace in your life and the memories of your son Mark with you forever
😢❤ After losing 2 sons, one 18 in Iraq in 2006 and the other 28 murdered in 2010, I know how much it takes a toll on you. Even after all these years, I still have the good with the bad. It is normal for the angry and depression. It will get less as time goes by but it never goes away. Many blessings to you and your family.
Mark is everywhere. He's with his kids , Jackie, all the family. His spirit rides with you when you're riding around the ranch. You raised a beautiful young man that is missed by thousands and thousands. God Bless!
Mark is who brought me to your channel. I can't believe it's been 3 years already! I'm still in shock that in July, it will be 13 years since my beloved Husband passed away in my arms. I'm so grateful to know that your Mark and my Marvin knew the Lord and we will see them again with new bodies and golden crowns of glory! I love you and yours Dr. Lee ! God bless you and keep you and yours!
Has it already been 3 years? I'm so sorry. We all miss him. May healing prayers continually be with you and your entire beautiful family. We love you, Dr. Lee. ❤❤
Thank you, Dr. Lee. I, too have wondered. 3 years ago I sat down and watched every one of Mark's "Home Made Everything" videos. Like all your children, he was such a fine and accomplished person. The video of the baptisms was also heartwarming. It's good to know Jackie and the kids are doing well, and your other children also. My prayer is for you and your wife. Yes, we all grieve differently - but we all grieve. May God's grace cover you both.
Dr. Lee, I can't imagine the heart-ache and loneliness losing your child. I think about Mark often and miss the conversations we had while he was on this side. Mark helped thousands of people with his testimony and journey with cancer. He was an amazing man here and know he'll be an amazing warrior in the coming battle. My last words to Mark were to keep a place for me. Thank you for sharing another piece of your life (Out on the Ranch) Much Love and GB.
I sometimes go back and watch some of marks videos and leave a message, I know some people may find it dumb but I don't...sending love and prayers from over the pond
It's not dumb. I do it too. I lost my son 16 years ago on St Patty's day. I think that's why I come back & pray for this incredible family. thinking of all of you...
@@gracekelly2810 my mother's birthday was St Patrick's Day and she would say it's hardest for a parent to lose their child. She may just have been right. Still hard to lose a parent.
Dr. Lee, you're a good man and a great father. That's obvious from the way your kids turned out, and I think Matt learned from the best. I don't have kids, but I know some parents who have lost children. It's obviously hard and something you'll likely never get past. I pray for you and your wife. As you say, always remember we love you!
Dr Lee, thanks for sharing, I think it was one of your videos where you said that Mark didn't want flowers at his funeral, he wanted mustaches and American flags. I lost 2 uncles, one on each parent's side of the family to brain cancer, so to remember them, and to honor Mark's wish, I grew a mustache for the first time and have never shaved it off. It helps me to remember them. Love you and your family, God bless you and yours
No one understands grief until they go through it. And it is different for everyone... So hard, both mentally and physically. And it hits you when you least expect it sometimes.
I lost my daughter 23 years ago and you will never,ever forget them. As time has gone by, the pain is not as fresh but it's always there.....My thoughts and prayers are with your and your entire family.
When I saw Mark's picture today, I knew it was an anniversary. You are so brave to share that with us. I followed Mark, hoping for miracles like everyone else, then realizing he was fighting the "good" (but really BAD) fight. We all still care deeply for your family. The saddest day was Jackie's face in his last post. I live clear in Alaska but cried when he passed away. Please know that we all still care that you lost him. Most of us don't even have words to express how to comfort you. Thanks for sharing this, I know it was insanely painful for you. You brave, dude!
I lost a daughter when she was just 18 months old in a freak accident. That was 20+ years ago. And it has never gotten easy. I've always wondered what she would of been like. She used to get me in so much trouble. Yep dad said it was ok. Talked way before she was supposed to. Super smart. Yes I'm crying from your video cause it brought back memories. But that's a good thing. And you and yours are family to me. We'll always have your back. Praying for y'all!! God bless!
We all love you too Dr. Lee. Beautiful testimony and know that Mark will be there with open arms when the time comes and you speaking Gospel truth to your audience today is a great, lasting tribute to him.
Delight in the fact that Mark made an impact on the ranch so you could keep him with you everyday. He was such a character and a fine young man. The world needs a lot more Marks in it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry and I understand how difficult it is to talk about. We all shed a tear when we heard about his passing. I so enjoyed his videos. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
I was actually just thinking of mark recently. It warms my heart how the channel kept him busy and even at his worst he was so excited to make videos and always seemed positive near the end. He was such a good guy and glad we were able to give him a tiny bit of positivity through his battle. I hope everyone is well like you said.
Dr Lee, I was also just thinking of Mark. Thinking of you & the family also. Your pain is still very raw & I just wanted to scoop you up and hug you. You & your family are such a positive light in this world. I'm so sorry for your pain! Please take care of yourself. We all cherish the time you spend with us. I personally come away from all your videos gaining something in mood, thought, learning and/or spirit. Wishing you all brighter days! Thanks for sharing!
I loved Mark and his antics. He was a bright light in this world. I think of him and his family often. Glad to hear his children and Jackie are doing as well as expected. Gone but lives in our hearts. Thank you for sharing. Love you all.
Mark was such an amazing person. He seemed like a renaissance man who sang, drew, built, played, loved, and laughed. I loved the way he showed his love for Jackie and his babies. His cancer journey and the way he battled, while keeping his faith and feisty spirit, had such an impact on me. He will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and an update. I love my children so fiercely and deeply. I can’t fathom the pain of outliving them. I’m so sorry.
Dr. Lee everyone handles grief differently. I lost my Dad to cancer when I was 26 now at 50 I still have moments 😢. I only made it this far knowing that I have the grace of God to get me through. As the time drew closer for my dad he used to tell us to "Keep on keepin on" I found Mark's channel not long before his cancer diagnosis. His fire for life was contagious on his good days and bad. Will never forget his saying either. "Party till you Can't! Much love to you, your wife and the whole family. Keep on keepin on! 😊 Your sister in Christ, Kelly Ann(Southern New Jersey)
I followed Mark's journey with his diagnosis and treatments. It was as if I was experiencing the things he was going through as he explained everything so thoroughly. It never seemed like he felt sorry for himself and was so upbeat. I had prayed and hoped that he possibly could survive until he "unveiled" his cheek. I knew then he was telling everyone the battle was over. After he passed away, it was so hard to watch the videos and I stepped away. That said, I never have forgotten him, his family or all the Lee family. Always remembered.❤
I was so sad when I heard Mark had passed. He was such a delightful character. We know he is in good hands and not suffering. Even though his life was short he was so fortunate to have such a wonderful caring family. All our love and prayers on this day. 🙏
God bless you and yours, sir. Mark's journey with cancer inspired me as a nurse to care compassionately for those suffering in dark times. I'll keep you all in my prayers for healing.
Hi Lee, My heart goes out to you and your family. "" As John Denver's mother said, No parent should ever outlive their child". Sadly it does happen. Time doesn't always heal everything. You never may get over this. But hopefully, in time you will learn to live with it. That is what your son would want. You are doing everything right. Looking after Mark's Kids & wife is what he would want. Stay strong for them. You guys are in my heart and prayers. Stay well & safe always.
I found your son's channel last week and it forever changed my. To watch someone so vibrant and full of life decline so rapidly but keep such a positive outlook was awe-inspiring. I will never forget him. God bless you and your beautiful family
Dr. Lee what a wonderful example of a Daddy and Husband you are. You are beautiful inside and out. That's exactly what you passed on to your precious son. So grateful to God to know you and that Men like you still can be found in America. God Bless You and all of Your Family.
Oh how I miss seeing Mark! He pops up on my TH-cam feed every once in a while and I will listen to him sing. My older sister passed away from oral cancer and I knew what Mark was going thru. This video made my cry. I can only imagine the loss that you feel. My husband passed unexpectedly from a heart attack and it has been 14 years since his passing. I no longer cry myself to sleep every night but I still have my moments. I see other couples growing old together and the unfairness feeling of it all sweeps over me. Why Mike..why me? But I have my memories to comfort me. Please know we love y’all and think about you.
I cannot believe it has been three years. I do wonder from time to time how you all are coping, how Jaci and the kids are doing. It is nice to hear an update. The Carrikers are in my prayers. I can only imagine how difficult it is. 🙏🏼
My prayers strongly go out to you all!! I feel in love with your son as soon as I watched his first videos. You raised a beautiful young man. He definitely was and still today a inspiration and young christian man❤ We all have a wonderful angel in heaven. Thank you so very much for sharing and keeping us up with you and the family. God Bless to all. Love from Ohio❤🙏🏻
My 💔 goes out to you. I share this Anniversary with you and my own son. I am just a little further out. So glad for the update on everyone. Please give your wife a hug from me as one grieving mother to another. Grief, is unspent love and love is unending. Everything you shared is truth. No pitty party, just facts. You all are so very much appreciated. 🤗 🙏
dr lee, I have gone back every so often and watched the baptism service of you, Mark and Matt. It brings me joy to know that you three have your faith grounded in Jesus Christ. I have loved Mark and grieved his loss as much as a person can an actual stranger. Thank you for sharing your heart with your TH-cam family. we sure love the carriker family!! ❤️
When you lose someone like Mark you really never get over it. No amount of time can make that loss any easier but you learn how to deal with the pain and do what you have to for the ones that rely on you.. Cry if you want to, never hold back how you feel, holding it inside ends up being a huge stress creator and it weighs on your health. Eventually the emotions blow up on a very physical way. I watched almost all of Mark's content and was amazed by how strong and brave he was. Over the time i watched I felt i knew him, it was his content that brought me to your channel. He was a great person with great character (must be a family trait?) I miss him and hope his family are living the best life possible. I recently just lost my dad and wish i could give you a hug today old man.. 🙏
I was thinking about his and his family the other day. We are fixing to hit the 5 year mark of losing our 3 year old to cancer. It does not get any easier.
I’m so very sorry. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing how Jaci and the kids are doing, how you, your wife, your other children and the rest of your family are doing. I’m forever grateful to Mark for his decision to share everything on his cancer journey and life and forever grateful to you for sending us to his channel to support and send love. About halfway through his journey, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer and two days after his passing, I was diagnosed with cancer as well. Mark’s open outlook and the health information he shared helped both my husband and I to look at the Big C with different perspectives. Just wanted to share how Mark touched our lives and improved the hard times. Much love to you and your family Lee. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Ive watched nearly every video posted about Mark and his beautiful family. Dr Lee, something clicked indide me when you say " Always remember that I love you" -- I can feel the compassion in your soul reaching across to those who need to hear that. It's like we are part of your extended family and that gives me purpose and hope. ❤
It's been 20 years as of 3/11/23 for me since my son died. I was still breaking down at 3 years, went through all the emotions and questions to God like , WHY. I can still get teary eyed when talking about him. Grief is a process and it takes a long time. People I went to church with and my own mother shamed me for my grieving, that hurt just as bad. Don't let anyone do that to you. Love you and I am praying for you. Sorry for your suffering. Just know I care.
Your words struck a chord with me - "shamed me for my grieving." I remember this happening to me, and yes, it hurt. I think it was more the old timer's way of handling emotions: "Don't act like that, what will people think?" My heart was deeply touched by Dr. Lee, on this video, for him and his wife.😢
My mother in law in spe is the same " what will the other people think?" Eh, I don't care. I value my emotional and mental health higher than their rusty and narrowminded thinking. And the wellbeing of my daughter and girlfriend too. And I try to teach my MiL that it doesn't matter, but I guess she is to broken from her upbringing to understand :(
Just fyi, he’s never been forgotten. Comes to mind a lot and when he does, I pray for his family and his soul. You never cross paths with people you are not supposed to learn from. He taught me a lot. God bless and keep you all!
You are truly a wonderful man Dr. Lee. Mark was a tremendously wonderful soul because of your love & guidance. There has been many times that I've thought of Mark & wondered how everyone in the family was doing. His spirit and his beautiful smile will not be forgotten! We thank you for the update. And, as always, please remember how much we love you too!
As a parent, I know how difficult making this video must have been for you Dr Lee, but please never think that sharing your grief with us could or would ever be considered a pity party. You, your family and your YT channel are truly loved, respected and appreciated. It's nice to know that Mark's family are well and doing good, so thank you for the update. We will continue lifting you and your wife up in prayer with hope The Holy Spirit will fully replace the heaviness of your loss with His comfort and peace 🕊️ 🙏♥️ God Bless!
Hey. I really love your channel and I really can sit here and cry with you and pray that we all can just deal with our depressions we can then cry and give it to God and then keep it moving the next day love yall like TH-cam family.
I honestly didn't envisage Marks cancer journey going the way it did. It's given me a new found respect and healthy fear of Cancer. Once it takes hold of a person, you are powerless to stop it. I'm glad he showed his journey and was so honest about it all. It may help people to know what to expect. Love to you all.
I LOVE YOU WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS ❤️🙏🀄🛐✝️ HALLELUJAH. GLORY BE TO GOD I AM GREATFUL THAT YOU SHARE THE SALVATION EACH TIME. TIME DOES NOT HEAL. JESUS DOES, AS WE KNOW. MY PARENTS DIED AND I STILL CRY AND MISS THEM. I UNDERSTAND SOME OF YOUR FEELINGS. We're the same age. I am GREATFUL that you shared a perfect two pictures of Mark. I watched every second of his and Jackie's family VLOGS. I still think of them. I PRAY for each of you. GOD BLESS YOU. I LOVE YOU too. CHOW FROM SE MICHIGAN GREAT LAKES STATE 🌹❤️💐🌺🌹🀄✝️ HALLELUJAH 🙏🀄🛐. LOVE to your sweet girl, your wife. I look forward to seeing you sooñ,
We all miss Mark so much. I cannot imagine being his Daddy and having to live life without him. I still find myself going to his channel and watching his videos whenever I need encouragement or strength. He had that energy, that grin, that special something that always lifts my mood. I don't think he had any idea how truly talented he was. His singing videos are some of my favorites. I guess he got his love for music from you. I don't have platitudes to share. I am very sad that he's not with his family and friends anymore. It's never gotten easier for me after losing a loved one. But, over time, it does seem to suck just a little less. You, your wife, Jaci. Ellie and Abram are constantly in my prayers. 🕊🚜
Hi Dr. Lee! :) Everyone loves Mark, he was just the sweetest and he still is! He lives on through his children and you and his mama and his family and all his adorable videos! I know what you mean. I lost my brother when I was 16, he was 17. I am now 62 and I miss him more now then ever. It's just how it is for those who have great love in their lives. I think about y'all all the time and my heart breaks for all of you. People do not understand the depression I have and I tell them well...I guess you just weren't loved like I was. I have also lost my mom, dad and my fiance. Life ain't easy and you son was extremely special. We do all love you Dr. Lee. :) Hug your wife for me.
OMG Dr Lee...... i just passed the 15th anniversary of losing my very best friend and wife.... she left me with our 4 young kids..... we've all struggled and I continue to..... but beyond that I usually tune into your posts to help me get through the next week. to see and feel you hurting as much as I do....... jeez, ..... when I lost my Tigger ( my nickname for her) I lost a lot of my faith..... watching you over the past number of years has helped me come back to a point..... after watching this video, I prayed for you and your family..... so I guess I didn't totally lose it...... anyway... sorry for going on but I just wanted to say, no parent should ever lose a child... and your videos have helped me to continue to have some faith God bless you and your family Love and huggs
I'm just gonna leave you the biggest virtual hug you can imagine, Dr. Lee!! ❤ Thinking about Mark a lot. Please tell Jacky we all miss and love her and we would all love for her to come back to Mark's channel.
Dr. Lee, I'm glad you're still posting. It's good to hear from you. Keep bringing us news about you and the whole family. It's almost Christmas, and at this time of year I look back and reflect: "am i doing all i can for my family -- bringing love and light to them? Am I a good role model for my adult kids and grandchildren? Where have I failed, and what can I do better?" Your videos are a pleasure and an inspiration. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Oh Doc, there is no way to get over loosing Mark. He was such an amazing light in this world. I will never forget his love and humor, and his fierce love for his family. Continued prayers for comfort and healing. Thank you for the update and for your faith. 🙏🏼❤️
You find out who your best friends are when they come bring you food when things are dark. I'm sorry for your loss, I've dealt with tragic loss myself and it never gets easier. You just get better at coping with it.
Dr. Lee, I'm not quite sure what to say. Thank you for sharing that. It must have been difficult. My absolute favorite video your family has produced was when you and your boys got baptized. There was no hesitation for all three of you, and I know it was genuine. You will see Mark again, I promise. Those tears of grief will turn into tears of joy. This world is just awful most of the time, and I'm tired of it. However, it is not our real home. I see you trying really hard and my heart goes out to you. You and your family are in my prayers. Stay strong a little longer, it will all be worth it. I love you too, brother.
Thank you for being the one to finally say what happened with the clinic. No one ever mentions anything. We all knew something was different when we started seeing changes in Vet Ranch. Appreciate you telling us and so happy it's still in the family.
I am still sorry for your loss. I didn't know that it has already been three years. I remember Mark as the great guy he was. He will not be forgotten. I wish your family the best from Germany.
I was following Marks channel when he first started his battle with cancer. He was a lovely young man and he's very lucky to have a fine family around him. The expected order of things is for our parents to pass first, the loss of your child is a pain beyond comprehension. God Bless.
I just thought about Mark a few days ago. I know he is missed terribly by you all because he was a force to watch on TH-cam! You aren’t supposed to bury your children, that’s not the way it should be. The loss of a child, no matter how old, leaves a hole that can’t be filled. I know what you mean by being the one who fixes all the hurts but when it comes to fixing your heartache it’s a difficult thing to do. Bless you all and stay strong in your faith. We will all be reunited one day. ❤
Mark’s utube channel was my first to watch. I was going through cancer surgeries and treatments at the same time. I was praying for his healing as I was my own. You family is so fun and brave. God honoring all the way through. I believe many hearts were won for Jesus our Savior through Mark’s life. God bless you and we all love you and your precious family.
I had to bite down and hold on for a couple minutes of this video. Seeing how much your family loves Mark and how much his passing has affected the world is touching. I remember the "Make Mark Great Again" hats... Don't remember if that's what they were called but you know what I mean. Your family is loved even more than you can imagine. Thank you for being strong and raising strong people. We need more like you Carriker's in this world.
What a beautiful tribute to Mark and what he means still to you all (and those of us lucky enough to share in the journey through videos). He is definitely missed and my heart is always with you all. ❤️🩹
Nothing!!!!!! Compares to the pain!!!! of Losing a child Mark helped me through a tough time in my life With this videos I'm sure God enjoys hearing him Singing and playing the guitar as much as I did😢😊❤
Good Mornin Dr Lee. Just got off shift at the firehouse sitting here sipping some coffee watching the sun rise and up pops your video! Great start to a Sunday when I get to hang on the Ranch for a bit. I often wonder how Jackie and the kids are doing, and get really happy when I see their cute little faces on Matt’s videos. I am so glad they have an amazing support system with your family, Mark had to have been at ease knowing that his family would be taken care of no matter what. Mark introduced me to your family through his videos, and boy am I glad he did. He was an amazing man, in fact I still wear my build it stronger shirt to the gym and get asked what it’s about all the time! I hate to see you so sad Brother and wish there was something I could do or say to brighten your day…grief is a bitter monster that hides in the shadows for sure. As a parent and as a firefighter I am often caught feeling similar to the way you feel. I’m supposed to be the one who fixes things, yet here I wasn’t able to do anything….such an awful feeling. Time does not always heal, but it helps you cope a little bit more, especially when you know that you have those beautiful little grand babies to help raise!!! Love you Brother Lee.
@@OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo I know you mention in your video that you didn’t want a “pity party,” and I totally get it. But talking about it and sharing your pain will help with the grieving process and help you cope. We’re here for you any time you need us Brother. Have a great Sunday!
I just recently started watching off the ranch videos of Matt and Mere. I think I first saw Mark in one of those videos. Your boys remind me so much of my own. My husband and I lost our oldest boy Jerry in 2009. It was completely unexpected and devastating. He was just 28 years old. He had 2 sons and a daughter when he passed. They are all grown up now and doing well....this video touched my heart because we to have experienced the same loss and the never ending grief that always seems to sneak in when you least expect it. My heart goes out to you and your family. There is no greater loss than that of a child.❤ prayers up for all of you.
Wow 3 years already. Thanks for letting us know how Jackie and the kids are doing. When someone says it will get easier or time will heal, they have never lost a loved one. I lost both my parents to cancer and time does not heal and it doesn't get easier, it makes me miss them more. But I know at the end of the day, I'm one more day closer to seeing them again! People all grieve differently. This was a tear jerker for sure, God Bless you Dr. Lee, love and hugs to you and your family!
Rest in Peace, Mark. I love ya, bud! Thank you for all the laughs and thank you for being such a caring, amazing human being. Thank you, Dr. Lee, for all of the same as well! I love you all and think of yall often. Forever my Homies.....forever my family.
Grief has no time limit. I lost my parent 29 years ago. Since December 2022 I've lost (3) friends and family members. There is no educational training for the management of grief, except one's personal spirituality, family and friends. Nothing really prepares us for the intensity of the emotion of grief. Over years I have been able to manage my grief by just letting it happen, letting it run over my being from time to time. For me personally letting grief in is truly connecting again with the person who has left us. In someway I feel closer to that person again, by letting grief in, letting it roll over me, and remembering that person who has left us. It works for me, and there is no way to measure others grief. It's my continuing love for the dearly departed. Thank you for sharing this update with us. ❤
I lost my daughter 28 years ago and my Dad 2 years ago the pain never goes away but you learn to live with it, Mark was a wonderful man/father/husband/brother/son and uncle you did a top job raising all of your children, I hope you find some comfort in knowing you and your family are loved by millions, sending much love and hugs from the U.K ❤xoxo
I can't believe it's been three years...I still can't imagine your pain!! I've almost lost my daughter to diabetes around 6 times And almost lost my son too autoimmune hepatitis once and to a massive heart attack once!! By the Grace of our loving Father I still have them both!! I know with everything that's in me you will help Jackie and those precious babies!! May God give you the Grace, the Strength and the Glory to put one step in front of the other so to be a Blessing to each other most of all!! You are loved and the prayers for you both are strong and Peaceful!!!❤😘🙏

❤ Dear Sir, while watching your video, I had to fight against my tears. I lost my mother six years ago at the age of 72 on that horrible desease. And I agree what you said about passing away your parents but loosing a child at any age is the most devastating thing in your life. You are such a kind grandpa and dad and my heart broke during your video. I sent a lot of hugs from Belgium and I will keep following you and Matt. Kind regards.
I followed Mark’s cancer journey and it’s every bit as painful today as it was then. He was so genuine and kind, and my heart breaks that he’s not here today.
I literally praise Our Lord that Mark has no suffering, but literally celebrating Eternal live in Jesus Christ’s arms. Dr. Lee,never worry or need to say sorry about needing breaks! So happy to hear that Jackie is running the vet clinic too. ✝️🙏🏼👆🏼🥰
Hearing a grieving father is one of the most painful things to listen to. Bless your family.
It broke my heart! God bless this family!
Followed for long time, love to you
It's an ol cheesy cliche but I find it meaningful.... kids bury parents, it should never be the other way around.
3 years...wow, one of my favorite memories is of Mark and Matt out in the middle off the river on 4-wheelers. Matt drops his camera in the water, Mark says "what number was that?" and Matt says "Don't tell Mere!" We love you all and our prayers are still with you.
That is exactly what I was thinking. I like how Matt has it in the trailer of his videos, I think as a tribute to Mark.
3 years?! Doesn't seem like it. I remember when we heard he passed, we both cried. Mark will always have a special spot in our hearts. We continue to pray for all of y'all, including Jaci and the kids. We love you and your family, Dr. Lee. **Big hugs.**
thanks for the update, i sure miss the home ade everything videos and marks personality. i still have and wear two of the fund raiser build it stronger t shirts (which oddly coinside with a life changing injury event for me) . Anyway I know time helps the hurt heal, but it will never go away and that is because you won't let marks memory be lost. Prayers sent for your family's comfort . Be well sir
I really couldn’t imagine. I lost my younger cousin who was like a brother/son in a weird way to me. I took him from a group home at 16 when I found out his mother and step father had abandoned him. He died in 2018 and I’ve never felt right since. Couldn’t explain how it feels honestly just not right I guess
Yep seems like yesterday he was live streaming working on the tractor and talking with folks
Amen. R.I.P Mark
I'm glad Matt keeps the little snippet of Mark at the end of his videos. Such brotherly love there, doing what they enjoy. I hope that Drew has stepped up to give Matt a hard time now.
I just started watching the videos right before Mark passed away. You are a great father and it shows. You will see Mark again!
Yeah, I always watch the end to make sure Mark is still in there in the credits..
Mark was such a great man . I know it's difficult for you to talk about and share . Thank you for sharing . God bless 🙏
You are a wonderful man. There is no doubt that you will go to heaven. My husband (killed at 29) will be waiting for me. Maybe Mark, you, me and my husband can all visit awhile when we are all there! Wouldn't that be amazing. I love you and your family and know those precious children are going to be unbelievable adults. Thank you for all the videos and all the sweet sentiments you send our way. God bless y'all.💕
We lost our 17 year old son 4 years ago, from one father to another, may there be peace in your life and the memories of your son Mark with you forever
😢❤ After losing 2 sons, one 18 in Iraq in 2006 and the other 28 murdered in 2010, I know how much it takes a toll on you. Even after all these years, I still have the good with the bad. It is normal for the angry and depression. It will get less as time goes by but it never goes away. Many blessings to you and your family.
🕊💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. May God carry you through the pain. 😢
So sorry for your loss.
Mark is everywhere. He's with his kids , Jackie, all the family. His spirit rides with you when you're riding around the ranch. You raised a beautiful young man that is missed by thousands and thousands. God Bless!
Warm hugs to you! You are a dear sweet man. Your children are lucky to have you as their father.
Mark is who brought me to your channel. I can't believe it's been 3 years already! I'm still in shock that in July, it will be 13 years since my beloved Husband passed away in my arms. I'm so grateful to know that your Mark and my Marvin knew the Lord and we will see them again with new bodies and golden crowns of glory! I love you and yours Dr. Lee ! God bless you and keep you and yours!
Good thoughts for you and Mark’s family.❤️
Has it already been 3 years? I'm so sorry. We all miss him. May healing prayers continually be with you and your entire beautiful family. We love you, Dr. Lee. ❤❤
Sometimes when I’m down I go to Marks channel and watch Mark and the kiddos and listen to his music.💙.
Sending prayers and love🚜🎚️❤️🤍💙
Thank you, Dr. Lee. I, too have wondered. 3 years ago I sat down and watched every one of Mark's "Home Made Everything" videos. Like all your children, he was such a fine and accomplished person. The video of the baptisms was also heartwarming. It's good to know Jackie and the kids are doing well, and your other children also. My prayer is for you and your wife. Yes, we all grieve differently - but we all grieve. May God's grace cover you both.
Beautifully written ❤ Mark was an inspiration and showed wisdom beyond his years. Remarkable family
Dr. Lee, I can't imagine the heart-ache and loneliness losing your child. I think about Mark often and miss the conversations we had while he was on this side. Mark helped thousands of people with his testimony and journey with cancer. He was an amazing man here and know he'll be an amazing warrior in the coming battle. My last words to Mark were to keep a place for me. Thank you for sharing another piece of your life (Out on the Ranch) Much Love and GB.
Thanks brother! Love you Man!!!
I sometimes go back and watch some of marks videos and leave a message, I know some people may find it dumb but I don't...sending love and prayers from over the pond
It's not dumb. I do it too. I lost my son 16 years ago on St Patty's day. I think that's why I come back & pray for this incredible family. thinking of all of you...
@@gracekelly2810 my mother's birthday was St Patrick's Day and she would say it's hardest for a parent to lose their child. She may just have been right. Still hard to lose a parent.
@@SherryLynnMadcat sending you love.
Me too 😢❤😢
Dr. Lee, you're a good man and a great father. That's obvious from the way your kids turned out, and I think Matt learned from the best. I don't have kids, but I know some parents who have lost children. It's obviously hard and something you'll likely never get past. I pray for you and your wife. As you say, always remember we love you!
Dr Lee, thanks for sharing, I think it was one of your videos where you said that Mark didn't want flowers at his funeral, he wanted mustaches and American flags. I lost 2 uncles, one on each parent's side of the family to brain cancer, so to remember them, and to honor Mark's wish, I grew a mustache for the first time and have never shaved it off. It helps me to remember them. Love you and your family, God bless you and yours
The carriker family is an inspiration to me in many ways, if there was more fathers like you-the world would be a brighter and kinder place.
I can’t believe it’s been three years. I still think of Mark on a regular basis. He was such a delightful person and is missed.
No one understands grief until they go through it. And it is different for everyone... So hard, both mentally and physically. And it hits you when you least expect it sometimes.
I lost my daughter 23 years ago and you will never,ever forget them. As time has gone by, the pain is not as fresh but it's always there.....My thoughts and prayers are with your and your entire family.
When I saw Mark's picture today, I knew it was an anniversary. You are so brave to share that with us. I followed Mark, hoping for miracles like everyone else, then realizing he was fighting the "good" (but really BAD) fight. We all still care deeply for your family. The saddest day was Jackie's face in his last post. I live clear in Alaska but cried when he passed away. Please know that we all still care that you lost him. Most of us don't even have words to express how to comfort you. Thanks for sharing this, I know it was insanely painful for you. You brave, dude!
I lost a daughter when she was just 18 months old in a freak accident. That was 20+ years ago. And it has never gotten easy. I've always wondered what she would of been like. She used to get me in so much trouble. Yep dad said it was ok. Talked way before she was supposed to. Super smart. Yes I'm crying from your video cause it brought back memories. But that's a good thing. And you and yours are family to me. We'll always have your back. Praying for y'all!! God bless!
We all love you too Dr. Lee. Beautiful testimony and know that Mark will be there with open arms when the time comes and you speaking Gospel truth to your audience today is a great, lasting tribute to him.
Delight in the fact that Mark made an impact on the ranch so you could keep him with you everyday. He was such a character and a fine young man. The world needs a lot more Marks in it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Losing a child no matter how old they are is so painful. There is no words to give comfort. God bless you all.
I'm so sorry and I understand how difficult it is to talk about. We all shed a tear when we heard about his passing. I so enjoyed his videos. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
The pain of grief does not have a time frame. Thank you for this heartfelt update.
I was actually just thinking of mark recently. It warms my heart how the channel kept him busy and even at his worst he was so excited to make videos and always seemed positive near the end. He was such a good guy and glad we were able to give him a tiny bit of positivity through his battle. I hope everyone is well like you said.
Dr Lee, I was also just thinking of Mark. Thinking of you & the family also. Your pain is still very raw & I just wanted to scoop you up and hug you. You & your family are such a positive light in this world. I'm so sorry for your pain! Please take care of yourself. We all cherish the time you spend with us. I personally come away from all your videos gaining something in mood, thought, learning and/or spirit. Wishing you all brighter days! Thanks for sharing!
I loved Mark and his antics. He was a bright light in this world. I think of him and his family often. Glad to hear his children and Jackie are doing as well as expected. Gone but lives in our hearts.
Thank you for sharing. Love you all.
It doesn't seem possible it's been 3 years. I think of him and his family often. ❤
The Lord has wrapped His arms around Mark and will hold him until he meets his family again. Blessings Dr Lee.🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Mark was such an amazing person. He seemed like a renaissance man who sang, drew, built, played, loved, and laughed. I loved the way he showed his love for Jackie and his babies. His cancer journey and the way he battled, while keeping his faith and feisty spirit, had such an impact on me. He will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and an update. I love my children so fiercely and deeply. I can’t fathom the pain of outliving them. I’m so sorry.
Dr. Lee everyone handles grief differently. I lost my Dad to cancer when I was 26 now at 50 I still have moments 😢. I only made it this far knowing that I have the grace of God to get me through. As the time drew closer for my dad he used to tell us to "Keep on keepin on" I found Mark's channel not long before his cancer diagnosis. His fire for life was contagious on his good days and bad. Will never forget his saying either. "Party till you Can't! Much love to you, your wife and the whole family. Keep on keepin on! 😊 Your sister in Christ, Kelly Ann(Southern New Jersey)
I followed Mark's journey with his diagnosis and treatments. It was as if I was experiencing the things he was going through as he explained everything so thoroughly. It never seemed like he felt sorry for himself and was so upbeat. I had prayed and hoped that he possibly could survive until he "unveiled" his cheek. I knew then he was telling everyone the battle was over. After he passed away, it was so hard to watch the videos and I stepped away. That said, I never have forgotten him, his family or all the Lee family. Always remembered.❤
Three years! My heart breaks for Mark's children. He was a wonderful father among all his great attributes.
He learned from the best!
The world sure needs more people like you. You are so kind and humble. I can see the pain of your grief in your eyes. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I was so sad when I heard Mark had passed. He was such a delightful character. We know he is in good hands and not suffering. Even though his life was short he was so fortunate to have such a wonderful caring family. All our love and prayers on this day. 🙏
God bless you and yours, sir. Mark's journey with cancer inspired me as a nurse to care compassionately for those suffering in dark times. I'll keep you all in my prayers for healing.
Just want you to know Mark made an impact on so many of us and he is in my heart and thoughts and never forgotten. I Pray for his family every day
Hi Lee, My heart goes out to you and your family. "" As John Denver's mother said, No parent should ever outlive their child". Sadly it does happen. Time doesn't always heal everything. You never may get over this. But hopefully, in time you will learn to live with it. That is what your son would want. You are doing everything right. Looking after Mark's Kids & wife is what he would want. Stay strong for them. You guys are in my heart and prayers. Stay well & safe always.
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years. I still go and watch his videos. I love to hear him sing his songs. ❤️🇨🇦
I found your son's channel last week and it forever changed my.
To watch someone so vibrant and full of life decline so rapidly but keep such a positive outlook was awe-inspiring.
I will never forget him.
God bless you and your beautiful family
Dr. Lee what a wonderful example of a Daddy and Husband you are. You are beautiful inside and out. That's exactly what you passed on to your precious son. So grateful to God to know you and that Men like you still can be found in America. God Bless You and all of Your Family.
Oh how I miss seeing Mark! He pops up on my TH-cam feed every once in a while and I will listen to him sing. My older sister passed away from oral cancer and I knew what Mark was going thru. This video made my cry. I can only imagine the loss that you feel. My husband passed unexpectedly from a heart attack and it has been 14 years since his passing. I no longer cry myself to sleep every night but I still have my moments. I see other couples growing old together and the unfairness feeling of it all sweeps over me. Why Mike..why me? But I have my memories to comfort me. Please know we love y’all and think about you.
I cannot believe it has been three years. I do wonder from time to time how you all are coping, how Jaci and the kids are doing. It is nice to hear an update. The Carrikers are in my prayers. I can only imagine how difficult it is. 🙏🏼
My prayers strongly go out to you all!! I feel in love with your son as soon as I watched his first videos. You raised a beautiful young man. He definitely was and still today a inspiration and young christian man❤ We all have a wonderful angel in heaven. Thank you so very much for sharing and keeping us up with you and the family. God Bless to all. Love from Ohio❤🙏🏻
My 💔 goes out to you. I share this Anniversary with you and my own son. I am just a little further out. So glad for the update on everyone. Please give your wife a hug from me as one grieving mother to another. Grief, is unspent love and love is unending. Everything you shared is truth. No pitty party, just facts. You all are so very much appreciated. 🤗 🙏
dr lee, I have gone back every so often and watched the baptism service of you, Mark and Matt. It brings me joy to know that you three have your faith grounded in Jesus Christ. I have loved Mark and grieved his loss as much as a person can an actual stranger. Thank you for sharing your heart with your TH-cam family. we sure love the carriker family!! ❤️
That was such an amazing service. It was one of the most moving events I have ever experienced and I was just watching the video. 🙏❤️
When you lose someone like Mark you really never get over it. No amount of time can make that loss any easier but you learn how to deal with the pain and do what you have to for the ones that rely on you.. Cry if you want to, never hold back how you feel, holding it inside ends up being a huge stress creator and it weighs on your health. Eventually the emotions blow up on a very physical way. I watched almost all of Mark's content and was amazed by how strong and brave he was. Over the time i watched I felt i knew him, it was his content that brought me to your channel. He was a great person with great character (must be a family trait?) I miss him and hope his family are living the best life possible. I recently just lost my dad and wish i could give you a hug today old man.. 🙏
I'm so sad to hear about your Dad... How about a virtual hug, kiddo!
I just lost my mother to cancer a few months ago. I feel your pain and send you love!
I was thinking about his and his family the other day. We are fixing to hit the 5 year mark of losing our 3 year old to cancer. It does not get any easier.
I’m so very sorry. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing how Jaci and the kids are doing, how you, your wife, your other children and the rest of your family are doing. I’m forever grateful to Mark for his decision to share everything on his cancer journey and life and forever grateful to you for sending us to his channel to support and send love. About halfway through his journey, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer and two days after his passing, I was diagnosed with cancer as well. Mark’s open outlook and the health information he shared helped both my husband and I to look at the Big C with different perspectives. Just wanted to share how Mark touched our lives and improved the hard times. Much love to you and your family Lee. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Ive watched nearly every video posted about Mark and his beautiful family. Dr Lee, something clicked indide me when you say " Always remember that I love you" -- I can feel the compassion in your soul reaching across to those who need to hear that. It's like we are part of your extended family and that gives me purpose and hope. ❤
It's been 20 years as of 3/11/23 for me since my son died. I was still breaking down at 3 years, went through all the emotions and questions to God like , WHY. I can still get teary eyed when talking about him. Grief is a process and it takes a long time. People I went to church with and my own mother shamed me for my grieving, that hurt just as bad. Don't let anyone do that to you. Love you and I am praying for you. Sorry for your suffering. Just know I care.
Your words struck a chord with me - "shamed me for my grieving." I remember this happening to me, and yes, it hurt. I think it was more the old timer's way of handling emotions: "Don't act like that, what will people think?" My heart was deeply touched by Dr. Lee, on this video, for him and his wife.😢
My mother in law in spe is the same " what will the other people think?" Eh, I don't care. I value my emotional and mental health higher than their rusty and narrowminded thinking. And the wellbeing of my daughter and girlfriend too. And I try to teach my MiL that it doesn't matter, but I guess she is to broken from her upbringing to understand :(
@@Seelenschmiede Yes, you could say we've dealt with emotionally broken people 💔
I do love the Carrikers. You are a wonderful family. God bless all of you! ❤
It's good to hear everyone is doing well. It must have been hard to make this video. Jackie and the kids have a great support system being all of you.
Just fyi, he’s never been forgotten. Comes to mind a lot and when he does, I pray for his family and his soul. You never cross paths with people you are not supposed to learn from. He taught me a lot. God bless and keep you all!
You are truly a wonderful man Dr. Lee. Mark was a tremendously wonderful soul because of your love & guidance. There has been many times that I've thought of Mark & wondered how everyone in the family was doing. His spirit and his beautiful smile will not be forgotten! We thank you for the update. And, as always, please remember how much we love you too!
Dr. Lee I miss my Dad and I miss your Son ….. Mark.
Beautiful Grandpa keep Busy and KNOW YOU ARE LOVED. ❤
As a parent, I know how difficult making this video must have been for you Dr Lee, but please never think that sharing your grief with us could or would ever be considered a pity party. You, your family and your YT channel are truly loved, respected and appreciated. It's nice to know that Mark's family are well and doing good, so thank you for the update. We will continue lifting you and your wife up in prayer with hope The Holy Spirit will fully replace the heaviness of your loss with His comfort and peace 🕊️ 🙏♥️ God Bless!
Hey. I really love your channel and I really can sit here and cry with you and pray that we all can just deal with our depressions we can then cry and give it to God and then keep it moving the next day love yall like TH-cam family.
I honestly didn't envisage Marks cancer journey going the way it did. It's given me a new found respect and healthy fear of Cancer. Once it takes hold of a person, you are powerless to stop it. I'm glad he showed his journey and was so honest about it all. It may help people to know what to expect. Love to you all.
I LOVE YOU WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS ❤️🙏🀄🛐✝️ HALLELUJAH. GLORY BE TO GOD
I AM GREATFUL THAT YOU SHARE THE SALVATION EACH TIME.
TIME DOES NOT HEAL. JESUS DOES, AS WE KNOW. MY PARENTS DIED AND I STILL CRY AND MISS THEM. I UNDERSTAND SOME OF YOUR FEELINGS. We're the same age.
I am GREATFUL that you shared a perfect two pictures of Mark. I watched every second of his and Jackie's family VLOGS. I still think of them. I PRAY for each of you. GOD BLESS YOU. I LOVE YOU too. CHOW FROM SE MICHIGAN GREAT LAKES STATE 🌹❤️💐🌺🌹🀄✝️ HALLELUJAH 🙏🀄🛐. LOVE to your sweet girl, your wife. I look forward to seeing you sooñ,
We all miss Mark so much. I cannot imagine being his Daddy and having to live life without him. I still find myself going to his channel and watching his videos whenever I need encouragement or strength. He had that energy, that grin, that special something that always lifts my mood. I don't think he had any idea how truly talented he was. His singing videos are some of my favorites. I guess he got his love for music from you. I don't have platitudes to share. I am very sad that he's not with his family and friends anymore. It's never gotten easier for me after losing a loved one. But, over time, it does seem to suck just a little less. You, your wife, Jaci. Ellie and Abram are constantly in my prayers. 🕊🚜
Hi Dr. Lee! :) Everyone loves Mark, he was just the sweetest and he still is! He lives on through his children and you and his mama and his family and all his adorable videos! I know what you mean. I lost my brother when I was 16, he was 17. I am now 62 and I miss him more now then ever. It's just how it is for those who have great love in their lives. I think about y'all all the time and my heart breaks for all of you. People do not understand the depression I have and I tell them well...I guess you just weren't loved like I was. I have also lost my mom, dad and my fiance. Life ain't easy and you son was extremely special. We do all love you Dr. Lee. :) Hug your wife for me.
OMG Dr Lee...... i just passed the 15th anniversary of losing my very best friend and wife.... she left me with our 4 young kids..... we've all struggled and I continue to..... but beyond that I usually tune into your posts to help me get through the next week. to see and feel you hurting as much as I do....... jeez, ..... when I lost my Tigger ( my nickname for her) I lost a lot of my faith..... watching you over the past number of years has helped me come back to a point..... after watching this video, I prayed for you and your family..... so I guess I didn't totally lose it...... anyway... sorry for going on but I just wanted to say, no parent should ever lose a child... and your videos have helped me to continue to have some faith
God bless you and your family
Love and huggs
I'm just gonna leave you the biggest virtual hug you can imagine, Dr. Lee!! ❤ Thinking about Mark a lot. Please tell Jacky we all miss and love her and we would all love for her to come back to Mark's channel.
Thank you so much Dr. Lee. My wife and I was talking about Mark and wondering about the family over the holidays. God bless you all
Mark was such a great man, just like his dad. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. ❤❤❤
Dr. Lee, I'm glad you're still posting.
It's good to hear from you.
Keep bringing us news about you and the whole family.
It's almost Christmas, and at this time of year I look back and reflect: "am i doing all i can for my family -- bringing love and light to them? Am I a good role model for my adult kids and grandchildren? Where have I failed, and what can I do better?"
Your videos are a pleasure and an inspiration. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Oh Doc, there is no way to get over loosing Mark. He was such an amazing light in this world. I will never forget his love and humor, and his fierce love for his family. Continued prayers for comfort and healing. Thank you for the update and for your faith. 🙏🏼❤️
You find out who your best friends are when they come bring you food when things are dark.
I'm sorry for your loss, I've dealt with tragic loss myself and it never gets easier. You just get better at coping with it.
Dr. Lee, I'm not quite sure what to say. Thank you for sharing that. It must have been difficult. My absolute favorite video your family has produced was when you and your boys got baptized. There was no hesitation for all three of you, and I know it was genuine. You will see Mark again, I promise. Those tears of grief will turn into tears of joy. This world is just awful most of the time, and I'm tired of it. However, it is not our real home. I see you trying really hard and my heart goes out to you. You and your family are in my prayers. Stay strong a little longer, it will all be worth it. I love you too, brother.
Thank you for being the one to finally say what happened with the clinic. No one ever mentions anything. We all knew something was different when we started seeing changes in Vet Ranch. Appreciate you telling us and so happy it's still in the family.
I am still sorry for your loss. I didn't know that it has already been three years. I remember Mark as the great guy he was. He will not be forgotten. I wish your family the best from Germany.
I was following Marks channel when he first started his battle with cancer. He was a lovely young man and he's very lucky to have a fine family around him. The expected order of things is for our parents to pass first, the loss of your child is a pain beyond comprehension. God Bless.
I just thought about Mark a few days ago. I know he is missed terribly by you all because he was a force to watch on TH-cam! You aren’t supposed to bury your children, that’s not the way it should be. The loss of a child, no matter how old, leaves a hole that can’t be filled. I know what you mean by being the one who fixes all the hurts but when it comes to fixing your heartache it’s a difficult thing to do. Bless you all and stay strong in your faith. We will all be reunited one day. ❤
Those kids are Mark's greatest gift he left for you. Bless you for sharing your feelings.
I am just so sorry…thank you for your courage and vulnerability in letting us know how y’all are doing. May the Lord bless you and keep you 🕊️
Mark’s utube channel was my first to watch. I was going through cancer surgeries and treatments at the same time. I was praying for his healing as I was my own. You family is so fun and brave. God honoring all the way through. I believe many hearts were won for Jesus our Savior through Mark’s life. God bless you and we all love you and your precious family.
I had to bite down and hold on for a couple minutes of this video. Seeing how much your family loves Mark and how much his passing has affected the world is touching. I remember the "Make Mark Great Again" hats... Don't remember if that's what they were called but you know what I mean. Your family is loved even more than you can imagine. Thank you for being strong and raising strong people. We need more like you Carriker's in this world.
What a beautiful tribute to Mark and what he means still to you all (and those of us lucky enough to share in the journey through videos). He is definitely missed and my heart is always with you all. ❤️🩹
R.I.P Mark God bless all who new him. My prayers are always with you all.
Nothing!!!!!! Compares to the pain!!!! of Losing a child Mark helped me through a tough time in my life With this videos I'm sure God enjoys hearing him Singing and playing the guitar as much as I did😢😊❤
I think of Mark often. One of his videos of him singing is on my Playlist and I cry every single time. Mark was the best! We miss you Mark. 😔
Good Mornin Dr Lee. Just got off shift at the firehouse sitting here sipping some coffee watching the sun rise and up pops your video! Great start to a Sunday when I get to hang on the Ranch for a bit. I often wonder how Jackie and the kids are doing, and get really happy when I see their cute little faces on Matt’s videos. I am so glad they have an amazing support system with your family, Mark had to have been at ease knowing that his family would be taken care of no matter what. Mark introduced me to your family through his videos, and boy am I glad he did. He was an amazing man, in fact I still wear my build it stronger shirt to the gym and get asked what it’s about all the time!
I hate to see you so sad Brother and wish there was something I could do or say to brighten your day…grief is a bitter monster that hides in the shadows for sure. As a parent and as a firefighter I am often caught feeling similar to the way you feel. I’m supposed to be the one who fixes things, yet here I wasn’t able to do anything….such an awful feeling. Time does not always heal, but it helps you cope a little bit more, especially when you know that you have those beautiful little grand babies to help raise!!! Love you Brother Lee.
Thanks man! Love you too!
@@OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo
I know you mention in your video that you didn’t want a “pity party,” and I totally get it. But talking about it and sharing your pain will help with the grieving process and help you cope. We’re here for you any time you need us Brother. Have a great Sunday!
I just recently started watching off the ranch videos of Matt and Mere. I think I first saw Mark in one of those videos. Your boys remind me so much of my own. My husband and I lost our oldest boy Jerry in 2009. It was completely unexpected and devastating. He was just 28 years old. He had 2 sons and a daughter when he passed. They are all grown up now and doing well....this video touched my heart because we to have experienced the same loss and the never ending grief that always seems to sneak in when you least expect it. My heart goes out to you and your family. There is no greater loss than that of a child.❤ prayers up for all of you.
Wow 3 years already. Thanks for letting us know how Jackie and the kids are doing.
When someone says it will get easier or time will heal, they have never lost a loved one. I lost both my parents to cancer and time does not heal and it doesn't get easier, it makes me miss them more. But I know at the end of the day, I'm one more day closer to seeing them again!
People all grieve differently.
This was a tear jerker for sure, God Bless you Dr. Lee, love and hugs to you and your family!
Thanks for the update, I think of your family always. ❤ Just know lots of people pray for you.
I can't believe it's been 3 yrs. I miss his silliness! ❤🤗❤So glad everyone is doing well. ❤
Your son was an awesome man. GBU & your family Sir
Hard to believe it’s 3 years. We continue to remember your son
Norway here, your sons videos made me a better person. And your videos are helping me cope with my own loss.
Ta vare❤️
Rest in Peace, Mark. I love ya, bud! Thank you for all the laughs and thank you for being such a caring, amazing human being. Thank you, Dr. Lee, for all of the same as well! I love you all and think of yall often. Forever my Homies.....forever my family.
Forever homies we all are, dear Masto!!!
Grief has no time limit. I lost my parent 29 years ago. Since December 2022 I've lost (3) friends and family members. There is no educational training for the management of grief, except one's personal spirituality, family and friends. Nothing really prepares us for the intensity of the emotion of grief. Over years I have been able to manage my grief by just letting it happen, letting it run over my being from time to time. For me personally letting grief in is truly connecting again with the person who has left us. In someway I feel closer to that person again, by letting grief in, letting it roll over me, and remembering that person who has left us. It works for me, and there is no way to measure others grief. It's my continuing love for the dearly departed.
Thank you for sharing this update with us. ❤
Rest in Piece Mark, he will be loved and missed always.❤😊
I miss mark, too. I wish he was still here, working on tractors and stuff. You are my thoughts, Doc!
If we could just channel the rage and frustration into finding à cure for cancer.
We have to think that Mark has moved on and is doing well. He is feeling the love and warmth of our Father. ❤️ 🙏
God bless you. I can empathize, as I have buried 3 of my 5 boys...
I lost my daughter 28 years ago and my Dad 2 years ago the pain never goes away but you learn to live with it, Mark was a wonderful man/father/husband/brother/son and uncle you did a top job raising all of your children, I hope you find some comfort in knowing you and your family are loved by millions, sending much love and hugs from the U.K ❤xoxo
I can't believe it's been three years...I still can't imagine your pain!! I've almost lost my daughter to diabetes around 6 times And almost lost my son too autoimmune hepatitis once and to a massive heart attack once!! By the Grace of our loving Father I still have them both!! I know with everything that's in me you will help Jackie and those precious babies!! May God give you the Grace, the Strength and the Glory to put one step in front of the other so to be a Blessing to each other most of all!! You are loved and the prayers for you both are strong and Peaceful!!!❤😘🙏
