TH-cam has failed this man. Why am I just finding out about this cool dude in my recommended AFTER HE DIED? I’m going to make it a point to watch his other videos. Rest in peace man.
Yes keep on watching his videos and put them on auto so you can leave your pc and have them running. His videos are still monetized and it can greatly help his family! RIP Mark
It was a rare paranasal cancer. It went to his brain as well as his poor face. It was a rare type that MD Anderson only had seen 40 cases of this hideous disease.
@@NoodlesEatonThanks for saying where the cancer started. I just discovered this channel and binge watching it and no video seemed to tell me where it started and the initial symptoms.
@@faustinreeder1075 No, it was an extremely rare paranasal cancer that spread, as mentioned in the above comments. This was not from smoking or anything related to tobacco or nicotine or drug use.
I just found him today and just found out he passed. His personality seems so cool, I’m sad about a man I’ve only known for a few minutes. Rest In Peace Mark.
Miss you so much bud. I know just a viewer but the impact you had on my life and many others is huge. You're the reason that now after 7 months I now know how to work on engines.
Yea, that’s one nasty looking wound. Makes me angry you have to deal with it. The good news is that you have your humor, drive and faith. As far as I’m concerned, you have beat the cancer Mark. It hasn’t laid a glove on your spirit and the essence of the man that you are. A joy to hear you are firmly in His hands. Rest easy my friend.
JP well said and amen! Mark, we'll all keep praying for you here. You share when you want to but it is good to see that spirit of yours is fully intact. Thank you for the strength and faith you show the world.
I remember watching this when he released it. And to this day, Mark's bravery and positivity in the face of his own impending death is flat out astounding. I cant even imagine anyone handling this as well as this man did. A true inspiration. I wish nothing but the very best for his family.
I just found out today a relative of mine had a tumor on his jaw and because it grew so quickly it got removed a week ago. He discovered it 3 weeks ago. The drs believe it is cancerous. I only found Mark’s channel a couple of days ago, how did his tumor begin? Was it a bump that slowly grew or was it aggressive?
@@lindagonzales4559from my understanding, it was 18 months from initial diagnosis until mark lost his battle. My mother fought breast cancer for 22 years before she lost her battle. I’d say mark’s was pretty aggressive.
I'm 45 years old, and you are the toughest SOB I have ever witnessed in my life. In either the movies or in real life. Anyone that can be going through what you are going through, and still be joking around, is a serious, serious damn rock of a man. If only we all had your heart and spirit. No matter what happens....you'll be a part of my inspiration to be a stronger person, and a LOT of other people's inspirations, going forward. And that's an awesome thing that most people can't say.....so I hope you can find a little bit of joy in that. In the meantime, we are rooting for you man. You are a living legend.
Classic Reaction yes some people are stronger than they know , our minds have a way of creating coping mechanisms to distract just so they can get through the day !
Please don't feel obligated to post vids or show us anything you don't want to. You're going through something I can't even begin to comprehend. You are in my prayers and I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this at all.
"Sorry if it's hard to look at" Fuck man that makes me cry and angry "I'd love to have the tractor done but... don't have time" FUCK MAN CANCER SUCKS. Godspeed, Mark, never knew you but you didn't deserve that
As a cancer warrior, you’re living with cancer. If ever there was someone who is living his life, it is you! I’m so glad that you are accomplishing (or working on accomplishing) projects that are meaningful to you. 🤗❤️😊
his name was mark if im remembering right but i dident know of him till recently to it is a huge shame he seemed super rad and awsome and not to forget he seemed positive aout life not surprised he passed as cancer is hard to fi as it spreads quicker than a bullet can be fired if not found in time
but i still feel the same aout it it is a huge shame and what i belive to have happened with the tumor is because of where it is located probably spread to brain nerves and other vital tuff over time hence causeing the death ut i dident know cancer tumor or at least external ones looked so infected/gross it looks like it has ligit eaten away at his flesh that must have been ver pin full .im sorry to hear he passed ut tink of it in a positive anner at least he wont have to suffer the pain and problems caused by it any more may god be with you all and may he rest in peace r.i.p mark ma the angels treat you well my condolunces to the famil est wihes for a appy year may marks memoriys and legacy live on for infinity the coolest guy ever
I cried the day his wife announced that he had died. He was inspiring because no matter how much pain he was in, he kept a good attitude and worried about leaving his family. R.I.P. Mark you earned it.
He is so inspiring. I had breast cancer and if it had not been for my strong faith in God it would have been frightening. I am relieved to know he had a strong faith. What a beautiful man.
"Play with my kids". I am in such awe that this man still has the energy and will power to spend time with his kids. I have only seen two of Marks videos and I can already say that I will forever remember this man. Is it weird that I want to hug him tight?
@@pnwadventurer9674 I have been watching his videos ever since he moved close to his brothers and parents. And I still watch videos from this channel every now and then.
If you have kids and are in the position he was in , it's the only thing that matters. If I didn't have mine I wouldn't even bother with check ups and I would still be taking drugs for recreation . Not because I don't care about life , but because my kids give me a reason to be positive, health conscious and happy. If you don't have kids you can never understand what makes a parent tick. Everything a parent does is in one way or another, for their kids
This popped up in my recommended, i don't know who you are, your story or anything about your tumor. But i'm so sorry this is happening, it looks absolutely terrifying, i couldn't even imagine going through what you're going through. Are you getting any treatment? Is surgery an option? Much love man ❤️ Edit: I just saw the newest video posted, i'm so sorry to hear that Mark has passed away. Sending all the love to his family. R.I.P Mark
Whoops hello. I have been following Mark for a while. I don’t want to speak for him, but to answer...he decided about six months ago to stop all treatment and focus on palliative care and hospice. He had tried some experimental drugs, but it just grew back. Also had surgery which he posted some videos from way back for a nasal tumor, which is also growing back now. He focuses his time now on his awesome family. You missed a cool tractor build he had started. He’s super handy and a pretty cool guy and I know the people that have been following for a while love him.
@@kimkartrashianstopmakingst9060 this cropped up in my suggestions too. Poor guy! So brave. Here I am complaining about superficial stuff I don't like about myself and then I see this.....so sad!!!
Hey man you are a fuc*ing great man bro keep pushing man for all that pain ur Being put throw and you sit care man I really wish there was come way to make this change man you are amazing I watch all of ur videos and Matt's videos I have love for both of you and you really do show me that for all that shit that could possibly keep me from moving man there someone else out there that's got it worse man you are doing great man hanging out with ur kids and just getting up everyday man ur crazy inspiring and you have a very big heart getting up everyday in pain still understanding you have a job to do you've kids feed and provide for you are just great man I am very sorry even thought I knew I can't change a thing man you deserve to be in good health man and I wish the best for you man and hope that that tumor doesn't kill you man you don't need that and I knew ur family doesn't want to see you go anywhere this must be a shirt time for you but man you keep ur head up man I love ur ambious don't let these insecure people get to u man like I got so pissed when I seen even 1 dislike on this video man you have the bestest of days tomorrow man ur amazing 😎😁
To whom ever had the nerve to suggest you don’t spend time with your kids.., maybe they should stop trying to unnecessarily bully you and take a long hard look at themselves. Clearly they’re the ones with some F’D up guilt feelings. I know I don’t personally know you but hearing that makes me beyond angry. Keep doing You. This TH-cam family has your back. You’re an inspiration to all. Thank You for Sharing your life with us. Always sending positive thoughts and and vibes your way. 🙏🏻
Prayers for your pain to stop! Your doing great dealing with all of this, especially the pain. Have a beautiful day and you enjoy your family! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
We see maybe 10 minutes of your day.The person who said that is a moron .Why are people so awful. You are an amazing man ,I hope I can be as strong as you.
Mark popped up in my feed tonight and I remember what a sweet and funny man he was.. I loved watching all the families channels...I had just lost my so beloved 21 year old grandson to a terrible cancer and my sorrowful heart was so hopeful during his illness.. RIP
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandson. What a dreadful disease this is. We’ve now wasted $200B on a proxy war responsible for the deaths of well over half a million people. What if that money had instead been given to cancer research institutes? A cure is not unreasonable, however sometimes as seems as the motivation to do so is.
@@js70371 I totally agree.. Nick had a vicious sarcoma that is common in dogs but rare in humans so even though they sent cells to be matched for possible treatments there was no match to be found. 30 prior years of funded research might have uncovered a treatment that could have saved Mark and Nick. Hopefully, the future will bring wiser decisions made by the drug companies and they won't see solving the riddles of cancer as an attack on their bottom lines. Blessings to you and yours. STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO ALL THOSE IN BATTLE
Never apologize for how you feel, what you tell us, or what you show us. This channel is clearly for adults, and they can choose to watch or not watch based on their comfort level. You are incredibly brave both in fighting this fight, and sharing it with us. I am thankful I found your channel this Fall. I think you make all of us stronger by sharing your struggle and faith in adversity. I hope our support makes you stronger too!
I come back and watch these videos every now and then. I watched the videos as they came out following this brave young man's fight with cancer and the amazing support for him from his wife and family. RIP brave heart.
Mark, if we ever get too pushy, just tell us to "bugger off ". This is *your* life and nobody here can tell you what to do with it. I wish that everything goes as *you* wish and is as pain-free as possible.
I’m so filled with admiration for your strength and your faith. It’s perfectly ok for you to rant and rave and tell us to get lost. It’s your journey and we are privileged to be allowed to share it with you. You lift me up everyday. Sending prayers and love to you and all the family. Praying you stay strong and as pain free as possible. Love from Sheffield in the UK. X
Watching you endure this ugly thing called cancer has humbled me beyond anything I've experienced. I have learned so much from your journey and I know you have touched so many lives. I pray daily for you and your precious little family.
Sheila Sparks same here. This just breaks me to watch such an amazing young man such a kind hearted soul so young so much left to offer this world. Two small kids and beautiful wife this just hurts. When you think of all the truly shitty people on this earth child killers, rapists, truly awful people and this happens to a wonderful man it makes me question everything in life. God I just want a miracle and for him to wake up and it’s all been one shitty nightmare.
God, I couldn’t even imagine. Not only the unbearable pain but the overwhelming feeling of doom you must feel when knowing that there’s nothing at all you can do about it. Absolutely NO ONE deserves this. I honestly don’t even know who this TH-camr is but may he rest in piece. So unfair…
Hi I hope this helps with some of your pain for Mark, if you believe that there is life after death and reincarnation then take this into consideration. When we are in the spirit/energy form on the other side we choose our next mission for a new life. Mark chose this journey to be the one who teaches people to be strong for their kids/family/friends how to be brave. We need to trust the process and to love each other without any doubt. Mark will be reunited with everyone that loves him when it's their time to come home. That's the comfort I take from gut wrenching tragedies that happens every day here on this crazy planet. ❤
I am fighting cancer here, Stage 4, I've been feeling miserable because my teeth are rotting and blisters on my right inside my mouth . Thank you for being so strong. Love your Family, first. Thank you for making me see that I too can deal with it.
Please look up panacur C . It’s a dog dewormer and people have used to treat cancer when they had no more options so please use caution going this route... my mother had stage four (possibly misdiagnosed stage 3) and right now she is in the clear but taking radiation right now to make sure all the cells are gone. She has been drinking tea (many different types including dandelion, imported Taiwan tea, green tea, jasmine tea. She tries to get loose leaf where she can). And she’s been taking panacur - c while she was off chemo (she didn’t have a choice because she had moved and had to take a break due to insurance changes). She has also cut out all dairy pork and instant ramen from her diet. You can look up the affects of these types of food and how it’s all linked to cancer. Anyways stay safe, and survive 💪
@@mcarriker5 bro, tell me ur using marijuana for pain!! Im a nurse and my best friend has stg 4 rectal cancer.. weed is helping him more than any pain meds do.. i 100% believe in it for so many reasons.. Im adding you and ur fam to my prayers
I just found this man’s channel. Seen the comments and it went from wow this guy is awesome and has a great personality to heartbroken and sad. R.I.P. brother
The fact that he doesn't show any fear is amazing to me. His kids will see this when they get older and hopefully be inspired to know how tough their dad was even till his last day.
@@normahmansoor2888 He has faith, At some point you just leave it in Gods hands when there is nothing left you can do an with a slow death like this Im sure has been broken and came to terms with it and now he has passed away. you only see 8 minutes of his life from this video. He was a man and a brave one too but even the tuffest men cry and have emotion. He didnt lose faith and im sure he is with God now.
There are things in life that aren't fair, this is one of those. Also, bad things happen to good people, you are one of them. You have shown great strength and courage through your journey. I commend you.
There should be a button alongside the "like" button for courage, bravery and resilience just for you!!! May the pain go away and hope you are comfortable, love to you and your family.!!!!
Whether I live only one more day or another 50 years, (I'm 50 now) I want you to know you will be a continuing inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many many others. You're helping people right now in ways you can't possibly imagine. Love from Greg in Massachusetts.
I woke up to being completely deaf in my left ear last week and my dad sent me this guy’s channel to help me realize how much worse it could be. Wow! This poor guy and his family. So heartbreaking.
So sorry you are going thru this. As a nurse, I’m not put off by seeing what is going on with you but I hate the pain and discomfort you’re in. My now grown son and my grandson loved Winnie the Pooh and I loved watching it with them. In the Pooh movie Christopher Robbin says to Pooh “you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think”. I believe that applies to you! Saying prayers for you and your beautiful family! ❤️🙏✝️
That has got to hurt like hell. I just bit the inside of my cheek this last week and I am all swelled up and hurting. You have given me the strength to make it thru my workday today. Thanks for sharing. You are in my prayers!
Yes, if you can discuss a new pain management plan with your md. You should not be in pain. Medication management is so important it is not fair to you to be in and out of pain and deal with a disease. There are so many options. People even use pot suppositories! Super effective and they can take the edge off but you really need a pain plan. You are in such good spirits, we want you to continue loving your family and enjoying your life. Please tell them how much pain your in...
Mark I’ve seen many malignancies in my life BUT IVE NEVER MET SOMEONE THAT HAS THE STRENGTH, FAITH AND COURAGE YOU EXHIBIT! YOU ARE LIVING PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS IN THE HUMAN FORM....I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOUR SO MUCH BRAVER THAN ANYONE IVE EVER MET (and I’ve fought some nasty people that wanted me dead overseas)... I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU....I APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. YOUR A REAL TRUE AMERICAN HERO!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 GOD BLESS MARK CARRIKER!!!
Certainly makes me feel shame for some of my complaints. I would hope I'd have this much courage, strength and peace if I were faced with such a terrible enemy.
I am awed by your courage and faith , and I feel very blessed to have happened upon your channel. You are a fine young man and I pray for you and your family every day. God bless you, son, and your family, with His perfect peace. Nancy in ga. USA
The strength this man had, through all of this is insane. Just looking at it I get an idea of the pain, agony and possibly the shame he felt with that. For him to keep his head up and keep making videos, and putting it out there.... I know if I was in that position, Id fold. He kept going, so much respect.
RIP. My dog had a tumor like this on her leg. It got so big and it was just necrotizing her leg and I would change the bandages everyday. She never complained or like tried to chew her bandages or anything. She was so brave, so were you.
He was pretty cool, His attitude was always up even if he was sick, He’s always and will always be a good and nice guy, Rest in paradise, We all miss you! Rest In Peace.
I can only pray that if I should be diagnosed with a terminal illness, that I face it with the same abundance of courage and grace. You and your family will be in my prayers. As Cap'm Augustus McCray off Lonesome Dove said 'it ain't dyin I'm talkin about, it's livin!' That's exactly what you're doing LIVING! God bless you!
Im so sorry you feel pressured to show your tumour...you are so brave. I pray for you and your family...my heart goes out to you. I cant imagine your pain...may God and the angels take the pain away...sending love xo
This story came across my feed tonight and I was blown away by this man's courage and how he chose to deal with his diagnosis. He did not let it define him. He kept living his life, making the most of the time he had left by prioritizing family and documenting his journey so that he could also help others facing such a terrible disease. Prayers to his family and friends for such a terrible loss.
I’m glad u ignore the ignorant comments and call them out! I’m terminal as well. You’re amazing. Jesus changes everything. I’m SO happy you know Him. Praying like crazy for you and your beautiful family
I am thankful as well for the faith he has I. Jesus, without Him We would have no hope. He conquered death! Death where is your sting? Jesus holds the victory in nail pierced hands.
I was diagnosed with cancer last year at 23 and I’m thankfully in remission now and to see this really hits home. Nobody at his age should die of something like this. It’s good to see he was trying to keep busy despite everything going on. Rest in peace man x
This man's attitude in the face of what he was enduring is unbelievable. It is absolutely humbling and astonishing to see. Prayers for his wife and kids!
Because God has a bigger plan. It may not seem right but people learn from the strength that this kid has and their faith will only get stronger. I used to not believe in anything until after I had my wreck a few years back and became a quadriplegic. It is made me a much better person and my faith is stronger then it ever has been. And I have touched many more lives then I had ever dreamed of
patrick kimbrell - Thank you for sharing. Honestly, since losing my brother my faith has become weak. His loss has shattered me. Can’t promise I’ll ever fully understand...but I will remember your story & try. I do admire your strength & faith. All the best to you.♥️
@@managerof3monsters hun it's hard but you will have your faith become stronger. I felt same way When I lost my parents in my 30 and 40 I'm am 50 now. After my first divorce of 27 years me and my ex got back together. Been 6 years and he was my first love and is my soul mate. But two weeks ago was told by dr he has lung cancer correction they believe he has going to do ct. 3 years ago he had dime size mass on his left lung oncologists came in his room and he told them your not touching me and ranned them out of hospital room. Well he been seeing new dr and when dr said this we know its spreading dont have to wait for ct, white blood count real high, he lost 24 pounds. My love decided on no treatments at all. Yes I hated God asked why you bring us back together just to take him away. He also in liver failure and other illnesses. But that was just anger and hurt speaking. God is only one who know what the plain is. GOD is with me and keeps taking care of me and showing me hes never left. So dont give up. I know you said you have little faith. But trust me your Faith will get stronger mine did, and I have a ways to go still. I do know this storm I'm going threw will get better and a new chapter will begin for me and so will yours. I will keep you in my prayers,hang in there you will get threw this too
@@managerof3monsters I hear you. But the stronger your faith becomes, the stronger you will make the ones around you! I know it's really hard to set an example, but just keep following the path of faith and everything around you will get better! Good luck to you!
@@patrickkimbrell8873 when my daughter was dreadfully injured in an accident many years ago, the Doctors were quite open with me. I was told it was 50/50. My prayers from then on were - Dear Lord, I ask you to heal my girl totally. Your will be done in her life. He healed her, she went to be with him a week later. I was devastated, but God had healed her. All we can ask is for God to heal our loved ones and that was what he had done. If I hadn't had my Faith, I don't know how I would have survived.
Mark, you are such a beautiful example of strength, peace, and what it means to have faith. Thank you for sharing this unspeakable time with us.. my prayers are constant.
Every once in awhile this video pops up in my recommended. Jackie, if you ever see this, please know we’re all still praying for you and the babies! Sending you love ♥️
I've been missing you Mark. I count the days that pass without an update from you and almost cry.(I do cry) I feel like I know you, and now- I know you even better. You are my loving, kind, funny, wicked smart HERO. 💞💞🇺🇸
I agree... Tonight I missed you and looked for a video and there you were. You are dear and special to my heart...a strong man...a loving man...and I Love You And Will Never Stop!! 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
Maura Swenson I also cry at his videos, I can’t help it, he’s just such an inspirational strong loving funny young man. Whom we have all grown to know and love as time has gone on, especially the last few months. The hardest fight of all.we are his family, and we have a duty to keep him strong and for him to know we are here for him 24/7. This breaks my heart, yet I have to be strong because he is been strong and his wife and children are been strong. Prayers really do work 🙏🏻
I’m a grown man a wife and kids also .. yes I know your brave and free spirited ... but I cry my eyes out every time I see you I wish I could heal you ...we are all connected somehow... much love...
I'm a stranger never met Mark, but I fell in love with his awesome personality. My heart aches for all who really knew him especially his wife and two children. The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that he is with JESUS.
Mark we love you and spend you’re time doing what you want to do. It might be helpful to take pain meds scheduled even if you are sleeping. Wake up and take them just to stay on top of the pain. Sorry I am a nurse but you do what makes you feel best just a suggestion.
Phyllis Bowen Absolutely just what I was going to say! I too as a nurse know how important it is to control pain in a serious patient and would always say to set an alarm at least 30 minutes to an hour prior to getting out of bed to maintain that level of pain control. It’s much easier to manage pain on a regular schedule than try to catch up to attain relief. Setting that alarm is so much better than spending hours in pain. Please Mark try to do this. At this point in your life make sure you maintain as much comfort as possible. I too have seen so much as an ICU/Cardio Thoracic Nurse that yes I wanted/needed to see what you are dealing with. You were very very brave to share that and I thank you. I know it was very hard and embarrassing. Now I know exactly what you’re dealing with. Just be angry as hell but still keep your faith. We adore you Mark and family and wish you only the very best. We are here for you Mark. On a side note, I noticed on your Dad’s page a black and white picture in his intro I think where he’s clean shaven holding a baby. Don’t know if that’s Matt or you but I swear you look exactly like him when he was at that place in time. The Carriker genes are strong!! Big hug and much love and prayers!! ✝️🧚🏻🙏🏻♥️
Dude, there are no words to express my admiration for you. Braver beyond brave. Thank you for sharing your story and your handywork. I enjoy watching your projects unfold. Much love to you and your family.
Nihh Nihh, yes, it's good that he is no longer in pain. Even his brother Matt, who is closest in age to Mark ( out of all siblings), said in his tribute to Mark, "I miss you bro; I'm glad you're pain free".
Please tell your parents, from me, that they did an amazing job raising their awesome sons to be full of love for others and joy in what they do in life. You, my dear Mark, are here on earth doing the learning and work that God planned for you. It sucks, but with your faith, attitude, and unbelievable courage you are leaving a legacy for your family to cherish and put into practice. Not to mention all the thousands of people you’ve touched and inspired. My heart is breaking that you are completing God’s plan too soon!! I don’t know you, except through the vids, but I wish I had the honor to call you friend. Remember always that we will all see each other again on the other side. You are not alone. Much love and light to you and your sweet family. You’ve got this. ❣️❣️
@ishgishnjj Beautiful comment! His Father has a channel & so does his brother. They don't talk too much about it as it's Mark's story to tell. But Dr.Lee has some amazing videos that make ya think! The apples did not fall far from the tree w these Carriker's💕 i believe they are; Out on the Ranch On the Ranch or Off on the Ranch? It's Matt Carrikker & Dr.Lee in Boerne✌
၂еԼւկ Ведդ Thank you for the info! I found out about Mark through his brother Matt on Vet Ranch channel, didn’t know his Dad had one too-I’ll check it out! Thanks again and all the best to you❣️
This poor precious guy. I can't imagine how painful this was for him. And he was still trying to make the most of life: fixing tractors and playing with his children. What an amazing person ♥
Maintaining pain meds is a horrible struggle! I finally had to set alarms to take a premeasured set of meds they the night so that when I wake up, the pain meds are already on board. I've also discovered that if you keep one eye closed when doing anything while "sleeping," it allows you to get back to sleep much easier, despite horrible pain and anxiety and insomnia. I hope that maybe this helps even the TINIEST bit to help you have better mornings. We love you and y'all are always in our prayers. 💜💚
Thank you for the fyi, I would do anything for a little pain relief. I find I get crankier and Frankie. I am tried of dying. Tired of trying to have a smile for others, sorry but I just get it so much, Mark. I had an accident today and had to listen to the aide b###h me out 4 hours because of it.
I was on Oxycodone 80MG, Oxycontin 80MG, and 50mcg of Fentanyl everyday for 4 years after surviving mine and getting off it was worse than the actual illness. I am on Suboxone now.
@@debbiehogan5443 So sorry your aide got all bent out of shape today. It's really not cool to act that way when you are a caregiver. He/She must have been having an off day. 🙏🙏❣
@@patricialynnmoore I have not enough time to fight the situation, this is her norm. I haven't much longer to have to put up with it. 99.98 percent have been amazing hospice personal
Y'all kids, siblings, wife and nieces+nephew will have that tractor forever, an eternal legacy of your love, passion, experience talent, the impact you had on the world. Well worth the time invested.
I feel bad for his family seems like a down to earth guy i hate cancer it sucks i never seen a tumor like that before its a shame good people always go in life.
If someone else has mentioned this, I'm sorry for repeating. Ask for a pain patch. It will continue to deliver pain meds while you're sleeping. Catching up on pain meds is unbearable. We lost our younger daughter two years ago also to a very rare cancer. She was about your age with two young boys and she fought like a warrior between the day she was diagnosed and the day she died. Those days were only five months apart. Rare cancers don't get much attention. You are all in my thoughts.
Be careful if they give you a fentanyl pain patch. They gave me some of them and my pain management Dr told me he has seen people die from it and they were following the prescription.
Pam M , my heart aches for you. Lost my mother to cancer 19 years ago, and my brother to suicide 5 years ago. Watching my dad endure the loss of his son has been the hardest. He LOVED my mother, a true love story, but he anguishes over his son. May you feel God’s love and support until you are reunited with your precious daughter.🙏🏼🙏🏼💜
Many, many thanks to all of you for your very kind words.They are so appreciated. And let's keep sending our love to this young family and to their extended families.
My brother's last project or I should rather say, dream, was renewing a 1984 VW Transporter. You remind me of him, Mark. The smiles, the humor, the unbreakable spirit. in five days, it will be a year since he passed from rhabdomyosarcoma on his lower right jaw. I know you both our in peace somewhere and I wish solace to both of our families. Love, Ivana
My Daddy had a tumor that ate away his jaw and part of his ear all on the left side. You are strong like he was. I admire you so much. His tumor was so close to his jugular also. You are such an encouragement to all those going through this along with you. I hope if I’m ever diagnosed with cancer I would be as courageous as you. I admire the man husband, and father that you are. I look every day for your videos even if it’s just to say hello. Keep em comin.
This dude has to be about the toughest SOB ever I've ever seen... Seriously.. didn't let shit stop him.. this is heartbreaking to see he has passed.. especially in a time like this.. like isn't fair I tell u
Isaiah 57 New Living Translation (NLT) 57 Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. 2 For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
Words at this point can't even express the extent of my admiration for you. Much love and respect to you, Jaci, your beautiful children and your entire family ♥️
as a person in the medical field I have seen some things that normal people cant handle... nothing shocks me... you are amazing my dude... keep on keepin on and have fun doin it!
Although I never specialized in oncology during my 31-year career as a Registered Nurse, I took care of plenty of advanced cancer patients in several intensive care units. It amazes me to this day what the human body can tolerate in terms of pain. What's also incredible is the will to live in many people; some people let go quickly while others fight tooth-and-nail to survive. God bless dear one. May Jesus Christ lead you down the right path and show you the light at the end of the tunnel. My best to your family forever.
I too was in the medical field as a CNA and EMT. It breaks my heart to see people in pain and seeing what it does to the family. May God bless j and his family.
Yep...you can't fail if you just "do you"...that goes for everyone who is also trying to "do you"...ignoring their own lives..failures/successes as they try to "do you" instead of doing themselves. Walk in God's grace and light.
This just popped up on my feed randomly, but I can’t imagine how painful that must have been to go through. He sounded like a really good guy, and tough as nails. I hope he’s doing better now out there in the universe.
I'll never stop being amazed at how people can judge other people based on seeing a few minutes of their lives here & there. Mark - you don't need to worry about justifying anything. Take care, peace & love to you & your family.
I'm not one of the ones who's been asking to see your tumor. But I do find it fascinating none the less. Thank you for being brave enough to share it with us.
I've been watching his older brother's (Matt) videos on Demolition Ranch for sooo many years. Matt has spoken about his family but I've rarely seen them, until he made a video regarding Mark's cancer. I was praying and being hopeful for Mark's road to recovery and his family. I have 4 amazing uncles (all brothers)! I've lost 2 to cancer, 1 is fighting cancer at the moment, and the other is fine. I was unable to watch Mark and his channel, i just didn't want to see the possibility of him dwindling away like my uncles have. Mark, I never gave myself a chance to become youtube family with you. After your passing I've been watching 3-4 videos on your channel everyday, I can't get enough of your content. I love you and Rest In Peace. Xoxoxo
Mark, I’m a nurse and it’s impossible to gross me out. But my heart is filled with love for you! You’re in my prayers young man, as well as your family.
This poor man. I’ll never complain about anything trivial ever again.
yeah you will
Yes , unless it's life threatening there is nothing to worry about that can't be fixed
TH-cam has failed this man. Why am I just finding out about this cool dude in my recommended AFTER HE DIED? I’m going to make it a point to watch his other videos. Rest in peace man.
how did u know he died?
@@9494Maciek check the last video ..
Spoiler
Watch the demolition ranch
Yes keep on watching his videos and put them on auto so you can leave your pc and have them running. His videos are still monetized and it can greatly help his family! RIP Mark
I come back here every once in awhile when Mark pops into my head. Dude was a tough SOB. RIP brother.
Same. It was an unimaginable hardship that tends to put things in perspective.
Same here, Love to Marks Family
Agree. Good man!
I still do!
I do the same thing.
Oral cancer sucks. It is dehumanizing and debilitating. Rest in Peace Mark. You are very brave.
It was a rare paranasal cancer. It went to his brain as well as his poor face. It was a rare type that MD Anderson only had seen 40 cases of this hideous disease.
@@NoodlesEatonThanks for saying where the cancer started. I just discovered this channel and binge watching it and no video seemed to tell me where it started and the initial symptoms.
Just found this. Smoker?
@@faustinreeder1075 No, it was an extremely rare paranasal cancer that spread, as mentioned in the above comments. This was not from smoking or anything related to tobacco or nicotine or drug use.
Rest In Peace. No one should die of cancer at such a young age. And i wish no one ever to get Cancer this horrible disease.
He died?
@@ZER-cr4dm Unfortunately yes, March 19 he lost his life. Way too soon RIP
@@Mark-cd2xx Omg, I remember seeing one of his videos a long time ago and this appeared on my recommended, shit life is so short
Sometimes I wish I was never born. Life is just too fucked up and short
@@shaneintegra make the best of it dog
I just found him today and just found out he passed.
His personality seems so cool, I’m sad about a man I’ve only known for a few minutes.
Rest In Peace Mark.
I didn't know that wow. RIP
Linda NIse me too...so sad
Oh no :(
Go back and watch the archive's... Mark and his brother Matt (Demolition Ranch) are the most amazing people.
His brothers channel is off the ranch, the veterinarian.
RIP brother.....I’ll say a prayer for your wife and children. You were very brave to share everything you did......😢😢👏🙏🙏
Thats a cool reply my lil 2cents,from a single dad with a dreaded illness,RIP MARK CARRIKER March19,2020 !!
@Kaitlyn Tolle Yeah, sadly passed away a little while ago. I still come here from time to time to watch his videos and give the views to his family.
Miss you so much bud. I know just a viewer but the impact you had on my life and many others is huge. You're the reason that now after 7 months I now know how to work on engines.
R. I. P 😖😭😢
Never stop praying for his family ❤they’ll always need prayers❤
Nothing can come close to put into words how brave this man was and forever is. RIP man.
Amen, there are no words
This has to be one of the most painful ways to die.
@@ChaNnArD-mD I am not as strong I would have roped long before then
Yea, that’s one nasty looking wound. Makes me angry you have to deal with it. The good news is that you have your humor, drive and faith. As far as I’m concerned, you have beat the cancer Mark. It hasn’t laid a glove on your spirit and the essence of the man that you are. A joy to hear you are firmly in His hands. Rest easy my friend.
Amen
You are so brave!! Bless your heart!!praying for you!!!💕
JP well said and amen!
Mark, we'll all keep praying for you here. You share when you want to but it is good to see that spirit of yours is fully intact. Thank you for the strength and faith you show the world.
Wow JP You are so right
What a great point of view! Thank you for sharing it!
Why does TH-cam recommend these channels at such unfortunate times. Rest in peace buddy, I did not know you but I wish I did.
Yeah I found him half way thru his journey and now I'm seeing they are circulating more since he has passed
TH-cam is cruel u_u
As if their would be a "happier time" to recommend something like this. It's all an algorithm based on trending and your own watch history.
@@Saiege youtube does that to earn money on death youtubers/artists. They do this to rappers and singers too. Its bad
Not a good “before bed” recommendation TH-cam.
RIP dude, Wild roller coaster to learn of a channel only to find out he passed away a week ago.
Yeah. Dunno if TH-cam is being a dick or saying, "Things could be worse."
Heart goes out to his family.
I remember watching this when he released it. And to this day, Mark's bravery and positivity in the face of his own impending death is flat out astounding. I cant even imagine anyone handling this as well as this man did. A true inspiration. I wish nothing but the very best for his family.
I just found out today a relative of mine had a tumor on his jaw and because it grew so quickly it got removed a week ago. He discovered it 3 weeks ago. The drs believe it is cancerous. I only found Mark’s channel a couple of days ago, how did his tumor begin? Was it a bump that slowly grew or was it aggressive?
@@lindagonzales4559from my understanding, it was 18 months from initial diagnosis until mark lost his battle. My mother fought breast cancer for 22 years before she lost her battle. I’d say mark’s was pretty aggressive.
Positivity ? No. He was in agony and over it.
@@zhaviyah84 he was incredibly positive given his situation.
I'm 45 years old, and you are the toughest SOB I have ever witnessed in my life. In either the movies or in real life. Anyone that can be going through what you are going through, and still be joking around, is a serious, serious damn rock of a man. If only we all had your heart and spirit. No matter what happens....you'll be a part of my inspiration to be a stronger person, and a LOT of other people's inspirations, going forward. And that's an awesome thing that most people can't say.....so I hope you can find a little bit of joy in that. In the meantime, we are rooting for you man. You are a living legend.

Classic Reaction You are exactly right about his braveness and his happy personality. Let’s pray together for his pain.
@@Robmancan1987 That...was an outstanding reply!! Well done friend! 👍👏
Please don't feel obligated to post vids or show us anything you don't want to. You're going through something I can't even begin to comprehend. You are in my prayers and I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this at all.
Katch027 well said.
I absolutely agree.
Exactly! prayers and positive thoughts continue...
Good hearing from you. Anyone working with you on the tractor? Hoping your pain gets better controlled. Prayers
🙏♥️
This breaks my heart , straight up hero. Talk about a pair of balls. Rest easy ..
"Sorry if it's hard to look at"
Fuck man that makes me cry and angry
"I'd love to have the tractor done but... don't have time"
FUCK MAN CANCER SUCKS. Godspeed, Mark, never knew you but you didn't deserve that
As a cancer warrior, you’re living with cancer. If ever there was someone who is living his life, it is you! I’m so glad that you are accomplishing (or working on accomplishing) projects that are meaningful to you. 🤗❤️😊
😮😮😮
Thought he was a cool dude within 1 min of him speaking. Read in the comments he passed. Sorry to his family. Rest in Paradise sir.
his name was mark if im remembering right but i dident know of him till recently to it is a huge shame he seemed super rad and awsome and not to forget he seemed positive aout life not surprised he passed as cancer is hard to fi as it spreads quicker than a bullet can be fired if not found in time
but i still feel the same aout it it is a huge shame and what i belive to have happened with the tumor is because of where it is located probably spread to brain nerves and other vital tuff over time hence causeing the death ut i dident know cancer tumor or at least external ones looked so infected/gross it looks like it has ligit eaten away at his flesh that must have been ver pin full .im sorry to hear he passed ut tink of it in a positive anner at least he wont have to suffer the pain and problems caused by it any more may god be with you all and may he rest in peace r.i.p mark ma the angels treat you well my condolunces to the famil est wihes for a appy year may marks memoriys and legacy live on for infinity the coolest guy ever
I cried the day his wife announced that he had died. He was inspiring because no matter how much pain he was in, he kept a good attitude and worried about leaving his family. R.I.P. Mark you earned it.
So did I he was a strong 💪 man through it all had faith RIP man
He is so inspiring. I had breast cancer and if it had not been for my strong faith in God it would have been frightening. I am relieved to know he had a strong faith. What a beautiful man.
"Play with my kids". I am in such awe that this man still has the energy and will power to spend time with his kids. I have only seen two of Marks videos and I can already say that I will forever remember this man. Is it weird that I want to hug him tight?
Not weird at all 😢
@@mawmaw9156 I agree 🙏
No that’s alllllll normal, it’s the human thing to do and be
@@pnwadventurer9674 I have been watching his videos ever since he moved close to his brothers and parents. And I still watch videos from this channel every now and then.
If you have kids and are in the position he was in , it's the only thing that matters. If I didn't have mine I wouldn't even bother with check ups and I would still be taking drugs for recreation . Not because I don't care about life , but because my kids give me a reason to be positive, health conscious and happy. If you don't have kids you can never understand what makes a parent tick. Everything a parent does is in one way or another, for their kids
This popped up in my recommended, i don't know who you are, your story or anything about your tumor. But i'm so sorry this is happening, it looks absolutely terrifying, i couldn't even imagine going through what you're going through. Are you getting any treatment? Is surgery an option? Much love man ❤️
Edit: I just saw the newest video posted, i'm so sorry to hear that Mark has passed away. Sending all the love to his family.
R.I.P Mark
Whoops hello. I have been following Mark for a while. I don’t want to speak for him, but to answer...he decided about six months ago to stop all treatment and focus on palliative care and hospice. He had tried some experimental drugs, but it just grew back. Also had surgery which he posted some videos from way back for a nasal tumor, which is also growing back now. He focuses his time now on his awesome family. You missed a cool tractor build he had started. He’s super handy and a pretty cool guy and I know the people that have been following for a while love him.
Kim, Mark added the video “stopping treatment” on 12-10-19 ... so only 3months ago. 💔💔💔
Pegg O ahh yes he did I forgot about that 🤦♂️thank you 💜

To whom ever had the nerve to suggest you don’t spend time with your kids.., maybe they should stop trying to unnecessarily bully you and take a long hard look at themselves. Clearly they’re the ones with some F’D up guilt feelings. I know I don’t personally know you but hearing that makes me beyond angry. Keep doing You. This TH-cam family has your back. You’re an inspiration to all. Thank You for Sharing your life with us. Always sending positive thoughts and and vibes your way. 🙏🏻
So true
Prayers for you and your family. You are an amazing inspiration. So sorry you are having so much pain.
Prayers for your pain to stop! Your doing great dealing with all of this, especially the pain. Have a beautiful day and you enjoy your family! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

We see maybe 10 minutes of your day.The person who said that is a moron .Why are people so awful. You are an amazing man ,I hope I can be as strong as you.
This world misses your personality, Mark. You continue to motivate me even from heaven. Bless you brother.
Mark popped up in my feed tonight and I remember what a sweet and funny man he was.. I loved watching all the families channels...I had just lost my so beloved 21 year old grandson to a terrible cancer and my sorrowful heart was so hopeful during his illness.. RIP
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandson. What a dreadful disease this is. We’ve now wasted $200B on a proxy war responsible for the deaths of well over half a million people. What if that money had instead been given to cancer research institutes? A cure is not unreasonable, however sometimes as seems as the motivation to do so is.
@@js70371 I totally agree.. Nick had a vicious sarcoma that is common in dogs but rare in humans so even though they sent cells to be matched for possible treatments there was no match to be found. 30 prior years of funded research might have uncovered a treatment that could have saved Mark and Nick. Hopefully, the future will bring wiser decisions made by the drug companies and they won't see solving the riddles of cancer as an attack on their bottom lines. Blessings to you and yours. STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO ALL THOSE IN BATTLE
Never apologize for how you feel, what you tell us, or what you show us. This channel is clearly for adults, and they can choose to watch or not watch based on their comfort level.
You are incredibly brave both in fighting this fight, and sharing it with us. I am thankful I found your channel this Fall. I think you make all of us stronger by sharing your struggle and faith in adversity. I hope our support makes you stronger too!
You’re way stronger than I could ever be. Best wishes man.
When he died so did the cancer.
He gets to live on through the grace of God. The cancer does not.
Blessings to your family.
I love that point of view.. ❤🙏🏼
I agree. @@amandamoon9772
I come back and watch these videos every now and then. I watched the videos as they came out following this brave young man's fight with cancer and the amazing support for him from his wife and family. RIP brave heart.
Mark, if we ever get too pushy, just tell us to "bugger off
". This is *your* life and nobody here can tell you what to do with it. I wish that everything goes as *you* wish and is as pain-free as possible.
Absolutely seconded. We're guests in your life and you can uninvite, or put limitations on us, as you want.
@@rubytolmer479 Motion Carried. Mark, thank you for including us on your journey. Prayers for all.
Totally agree. I am so sorry you have to go through all of this. Praying for you and your precious family.
I’m so filled with admiration for your strength and your faith. It’s perfectly ok for you to rant and rave and tell us to get lost. It’s your journey and we are privileged to be allowed to share it with you. You lift me up everyday. Sending prayers and love to you and all the family. Praying you stay strong and as pain free as possible. Love from Sheffield in the UK. X
Amen
Watching you endure this ugly thing called cancer has humbled me beyond anything I've experienced. I have learned so much from your journey and I know you have touched so many lives. I pray daily for you and your precious little family.
Sheila Sparks same here. This just breaks me to watch such an amazing young man such a kind hearted soul so young so much left to offer this world. Two small kids and beautiful wife this just hurts. When you think of all the truly shitty people on this earth child killers, rapists, truly awful people and this happens to a wonderful man it makes me question everything in life. God I just want a miracle and for him to wake up and it’s all been one shitty nightmare.
God, I couldn’t even imagine. Not only the unbearable pain but the overwhelming feeling of doom you must feel when knowing that there’s nothing at all you can do about it. Absolutely NO ONE deserves this. I honestly don’t even know who this TH-camr is but may he rest in piece. So unfair…
Hi I hope this helps with some of your pain for Mark, if you believe that there is life after death and reincarnation then take this into consideration. When we are in the spirit/energy form on the other side we choose our next mission for a new life. Mark chose this journey to be the one who teaches people to be strong for their kids/family/friends how to be brave. We need to trust the process and to love each other without any doubt. Mark will be reunited with everyone that loves him when it's their time to come home. That's the comfort I take from gut wrenching tragedies that happens every day here on this crazy planet. ❤
Thinking about Mark today. I became ill around the time he passed. I'll always think of him when March rolls around. No more pain my dude.
I am fighting cancer here, Stage 4, I've been feeling miserable because my teeth are rotting and blisters on my right inside my mouth . Thank you for being so strong. Love your Family, first. Thank you for making me see that I too can deal with it.
God bless you in your fight, Leticia!
❤️🙏🏻
Have you heard of fenbenazole dog deworming? Look it up on TH-cam. Maybe it could be of some use for you..
Please look up panacur C . It’s a dog dewormer and people have used to treat cancer when they had no more options so please use caution going this route... my mother had stage four (possibly misdiagnosed stage 3) and right now she is in the clear but taking radiation right now to make sure all the cells are gone. She has been drinking tea (many different types including dandelion, imported Taiwan tea, green tea, jasmine tea. She tries to get loose leaf where she can). And she’s been taking panacur - c while she was off chemo (she didn’t have a choice because she had moved and had to take a break due to insurance changes). She has also cut out all dairy pork and instant ramen from her diet. You can look up the affects of these types of food and how it’s all linked to cancer. Anyways stay safe, and survive 💪
I.m praying for you.May Jesus wrap you in his loving arms
I will never complain about toothache ever again.

Everyone keep watching these videos to help his family.Mark was one of the good guys!!!
The fact that he doesn't show any fear is amazing to me. His kids will see this when they get older and hopefully be inspired to know how tough their dad was even till his last day.
The idea of not being able to see your own kids grow up is enough the break any man.
This guy has literal balls of steel
Just because you see him happy and making jokes on camera doesn't mean he isn't devastated behind it
@@normahmansoor2888 He has faith, At some point you just leave it in Gods hands when there is nothing left you can do an with a slow death like this Im sure has been broken and came to terms with it and now he has passed away. you only see 8 minutes of his life from this video. He was a man and a brave one too but even the tuffest men cry and have emotion. He didnt lose faith and im sure he is with God now.

Yes, if you can discuss a new pain management plan with your md. You should not be in pain. Medication management is so important it is not fair to you to be in and out of pain and deal with a disease. There are so many options. People even use pot suppositories! Super effective and they can take the edge off but you really need a pain plan. You are in such good spirits, we want you to continue loving your family and enjoying your life. Please tell them how much pain your in...

I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU....I APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. YOUR A REAL TRUE AMERICAN HERO!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 GOD BLESS MARK CARRIKER!!!
Truth, honesty and dignity personified. People will learn from your courage.

The strength this man had, through all of this is insane. Just looking at it I get an idea of the pain, agony and possibly the shame he felt with that. For him to keep his head up and keep making videos, and putting it out there.... I know if I was in that position, Id fold. He kept going, so much respect.
RIP. My dog had a tumor like this on her leg. It got so big and it was just necrotizing her leg and I would change the bandages everyday. She never complained or like tried to chew her bandages or anything. She was so brave, so were you.
Sometimes the lessons are in the living, and sometimes they are in the dying. You are inspiring in your courage.
Well said.
I'm so sorry Mark, No one deserves this. You're in our prayers Buddy i wish I could help more.
He was pretty cool, His attitude was always up even if he was sick, He’s always and will always be a good and nice guy, Rest in paradise, We all miss you! Rest In Peace.
BROOOO... Everytime i see this it makes me gasp!!! ! This guy was definitly a trooper! I could never imagine the pain from that! R.I.P
I can only pray that if I should be diagnosed with a terminal illness, that I face it with the same abundance of courage and grace. You and your family will be in my prayers.
As Cap'm Augustus McCray off Lonesome Dove said 'it ain't dyin I'm talkin about, it's livin!' That's exactly what you're doing LIVING! God bless you!

This story came across my feed tonight and I was blown away by this man's courage and how he chose to deal with his diagnosis. He did not let it define him. He kept living his life, making the most of the time he had left by prioritizing family and documenting his journey so that he could also help others facing such a terrible disease. Prayers to his family and friends for such a terrible loss.
Heartbreaking. If I was in this position, I'd head to Switzerland and drink that drink.
I’m so sorry that this young man was taken too soon. He obviously had a lot to offer his family and others. Rest in peace, Mark.

I was diagnosed with cancer last year at 23 and I’m thankfully in remission now and to see this really hits home. Nobody at his age should die of something like this. It’s good to see he was trying to keep busy despite everything going on. Rest in peace man x
How's it going? What type did you have?
STRENGTH AND COURAGE FROM A SAD NANA TO YOU ❤️
This man's attitude in the face of what he was enduring is unbelievable. It is absolutely humbling and astonishing to see. Prayers for his wife and kids!
😔...I’ll never understand why life has to be so tough & unfair for so many people.♥️♥️♥️
Because God has a bigger plan. It may not seem right but people learn from the strength that this kid has and their faith will only get stronger. I used to not believe in anything until after I had my wreck a few years back and became a quadriplegic. It is made me a much better person and my faith is stronger then it ever has been. And I have touched many more lives then I had ever dreamed of
patrick kimbrell - Thank you for sharing. Honestly, since losing my brother my faith has become weak. His loss has shattered me.
Can’t promise I’ll ever fully understand...but I will remember your story & try. I do admire your strength & faith. All the best to you.♥️
@@managerof3monsters hun it's hard but you will have your faith become stronger. I felt same way
When I lost my parents in my 30 and 40 I'm am 50 now. After my first divorce of 27 years me and my ex got back together. Been 6 years and he was my first love and is my soul mate. But two weeks ago was told by dr he has lung cancer correction they believe he has going to do ct. 3 years ago he had dime size mass on his left lung oncologists came in his room and he told them your not touching me and ranned them out of hospital room.
Well he been seeing new dr and when dr said this we know its spreading dont have to wait for ct, white blood count real high, he lost 24 pounds. My love decided on no treatments at all. Yes I hated God asked why you bring us back together just to take him away. He also in liver failure and other illnesses. But that was just anger and hurt speaking. God is only one who know what the plain is. GOD is with me and keeps taking care of me and showing me hes never left. So dont give up. I know you said you have little faith. But trust me your Faith will get stronger mine did, and I have a ways to go still. I do know this storm I'm going threw will get better and a new chapter will begin for me and so will yours. I will keep you in my prayers,hang in there you will get threw this too
@@managerof3monsters I hear you. But the stronger your faith becomes, the stronger you will make the ones around you! I know it's really hard to set an example, but just keep following the path of faith and everything around you will get better! Good luck to you!
@@patrickkimbrell8873 when my daughter was dreadfully injured in an accident many years ago, the Doctors were quite open with me. I was told it was 50/50. My prayers from then on were - Dear Lord, I ask you to heal my girl totally. Your will be done in her life. He healed her, she went to be with him a week later. I was devastated, but God had healed her. All we can ask is for God to heal our loved ones and that was what he had done. If I hadn't had my Faith, I don't know how I would have survived.
Mark, you are such a beautiful example of strength, peace, and what it means to have faith. Thank you for sharing this unspeakable time with us.. my prayers are constant.
Amen to that he is for sure
Every once in awhile this video pops up in my recommended. Jackie, if you ever see this, please know we’re all still praying for you and the babies! Sending you love ♥️
Dang i miss this guy. Rest easy man. I will try to make sure i stay positive every day and be thankful for what i do have.
I've been missing you Mark. I count the days that pass without an update from you and almost cry.(I do cry) I feel like I know you, and now- I know you even better. You are my loving, kind, funny, wicked smart HERO. 💞💞🇺🇸
I agree... Tonight I missed you and looked for a video and there you were.
You are dear and special to my heart...a strong man...a loving man...and
I Love You And Will Never Stop!!
💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
Maura Swenson I also cry at his videos, I can’t help it, he’s just such an inspirational strong loving funny young man. Whom we have all grown to know and love as time has gone on, especially the last few months. The hardest fight of all.we are his family, and we have a duty to keep him strong and for him to know we are here for him 24/7. This breaks my heart, yet I have to be strong because he is been strong and his wife and children are been strong. Prayers really do work 🙏🏻
@@throughtheeyesofachild61_45 Yes...agree 100%!!!!
💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
I’m a grown man a wife and kids also .. yes I know your brave and free spirited ... but I cry my eyes out every time I see you I wish I could heal you ...we are all connected somehow... much love...
This popped up on my recommend today, but have been following him for a while...still miss his videos. What a great guy he was.
I'm a stranger never met Mark, but I fell in love with his awesome personality. My heart aches for all who really knew him especially his wife and two children. The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that he is with JESUS.
Mark we love you and spend you’re time doing what you want to do.
It might be helpful to take pain meds scheduled even if you are sleeping. Wake up and take them just to stay on top of the pain. Sorry I am a nurse but you do what makes you feel best just a suggestion.
GREAT advise! Playing "catch up" SUX.
Phyllis Bowen Absolutely just what I was going to say! I too as a nurse know how important it is to control pain in a serious patient and would always say to set an alarm at least 30 minutes to an hour prior to getting out of bed to maintain that level of pain control. It’s much easier to manage pain on a regular schedule than try to catch up to attain relief. Setting that alarm is so much better than spending hours in pain. Please Mark try to do this. At this point in your life make sure you maintain as much comfort as possible. I too have seen so much as an ICU/Cardio Thoracic Nurse that yes I wanted/needed to see what you are dealing with. You were very very brave to share that and I thank you. I know it was very hard and embarrassing. Now I know exactly what you’re dealing with. Just be angry as hell but still keep your faith. We adore you Mark and family and wish you only the very best. We are here for you Mark. On a side note, I noticed on your Dad’s page a black and white picture in his intro I think where he’s clean shaven holding a baby. Don’t know if that’s Matt or you but I swear you look exactly like him when he was at that place in time. The Carriker genes are strong!! Big hug and much love and prayers!! ✝️🧚🏻🙏🏻♥️
Dude, there are no words to express my admiration for you. Braver beyond brave. Thank you for sharing your story and your handywork. I enjoy watching your projects unfold. Much love to you and your family.
Honestly rather see him in peace and rested than have him go through this day by day
Nihh Nihh, yes, it's good that he is no longer in pain. Even his brother Matt, who is closest in age to Mark ( out of all siblings), said in his tribute to Mark, "I miss you bro; I'm glad you're pain free".
Jesus christ..... I feel so fucking sorry for this man.. a damn fucking brave and strong man.
Please tell your parents, from me, that they did an amazing job raising their awesome sons to be full of love for others and joy in what they do in life. You, my dear Mark, are here on earth doing the learning and work that God planned for you. It sucks, but with your faith, attitude, and unbelievable courage you are leaving a legacy for your family to cherish and put into practice. Not to mention all the thousands of people you’ve touched and inspired. My heart is breaking that you are completing God’s plan too soon!! I don’t know you, except through the vids, but I wish I had the honor to call you friend. Remember always that we will all see each other again on the other side. You are not alone. Much love and light to you and your sweet family. You’ve got this. ❣️❣️
@ishgishnjj Beautiful comment! His Father has a channel & so does his brother. They don't talk too much about it as it's Mark's story to tell.
But Dr.Lee has some amazing videos that make ya think! The apples did not fall far from the tree w these Carriker's💕
i believe they are;
Out on the Ranch
On the Ranch or Off on the Ranch?
It's Matt Carrikker & Dr.Lee in Boerne✌
၂еԼւկ Ведդ Thank you for the info! I found out about Mark through his brother Matt on Vet Ranch channel, didn’t know his Dad had one too-I’ll check it out! Thanks again and all the best to you❣️
His dad's channel is called out on the ranch . His name dr Lee:)
၂еԼւկ Ведդ - There's Vet Ranch, Out on the Ranch with Dr. Lee, and Off the Ranch. I believe Matt also has Demolition Ranch.
I’m a middle aged veteran with lupus who thought he was tough. Dude I’m a wimp compared to you. Godspeed 🙏
Same. Middle aged with lupus and I thought I knew what pain was myself.
Gene Barry Fellow Veteran Thank You for your Service . So sorry to hear you have Lupus . Are you service connected for it ? Take Care .
Lupus here too. I won’t complain anymore 😐
Gene, I know what you meant, but you are no wimp. Thank you for your service!!
Your suffering is not invalidated because someone else's suffering is greater, and you shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed either.
This poor precious guy. I can't imagine how painful this was for him. And he was still trying to make the most of life: fixing tractors and playing with his children. What an amazing person ♥
Maintaining pain meds is a horrible struggle! I finally had to set alarms to take a premeasured set of meds they the night so that when I wake up, the pain meds are already on board. I've also discovered that if you keep one eye closed when doing anything while "sleeping," it allows you to get back to sleep much easier, despite horrible pain and anxiety and insomnia. I hope that maybe this helps even the TINIEST bit to help you have better mornings. We love you and y'all are always in our prayers. 💜💚
Thank you for the fyi, I would do anything for a little pain relief. I find I get crankier and Frankie. I am tried of dying. Tired of trying to have a smile for others, sorry but I just get it so much, Mark. I had an accident today and had to listen to the aide b###h me out 4 hours because of it.
@@debbiehogan5443 Please catch my HUGS.
I was on Oxycodone 80MG, Oxycontin 80MG, and 50mcg of Fentanyl everyday for 4 years after surviving mine and getting off it was worse than the actual illness. I am on Suboxone now.
@@debbiehogan5443
So sorry your aide got all bent out of shape today. It's really not cool to act that way when you are a caregiver. He/She must have been having an off day. 🙏🙏❣
@@patricialynnmoore I have not enough time to fight the situation, this is her norm. I haven't much longer to have to put up with it. 99.98 percent have been amazing hospice personal
Y'all kids, siblings, wife and nieces+nephew will have that tractor forever, an eternal legacy of your love, passion, experience talent, the impact you had on the world. Well worth the time invested.
I feel bad for his family seems like a down to earth guy i hate cancer it sucks i never seen a tumor like that before its a shame good people always go in life.
You've got the heart of a damn warrior man. You have a beautiful soul as well. Love.
If someone else has mentioned this, I'm sorry for repeating. Ask for a pain patch. It will continue to deliver pain meds while you're sleeping. Catching up on pain meds is unbearable.
We lost our younger daughter two years ago also to a very rare cancer. She was about your age with two young boys and she fought like a warrior between the day she was diagnosed and the day she died. Those days were only five months apart. Rare cancers don't get much attention.
You are all in my thoughts.
Be careful if they give you a fentanyl pain patch. They gave me some of them and my pain management Dr told me he has seen people die from it and they were following the prescription.
Sending you love and prayers. So sad to hear about your sweet girl....
Pam M , my heart aches for you. Lost my mother to cancer 19 years ago, and my brother to suicide 5 years ago. Watching my dad endure the loss of his son has been the hardest. He LOVED my mother, a true love story, but he anguishes over his son. May you feel God’s love and support until you are reunited with your precious daughter.🙏🏼🙏🏼💜
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
Many, many thanks to all of you for your very kind words.They are so appreciated.
And let's keep sending our love to this young family and to their extended families.
I can't imagine that level of personal strength, faith and courage. Heroic.
My brother's last project or I should rather say, dream, was renewing a 1984 VW Transporter. You remind me of him, Mark. The smiles, the humor, the unbreakable spirit. in five days, it will be a year since he passed from rhabdomyosarcoma on his lower right jaw. I know you both our in peace somewhere and I wish solace to both of our families. Love, Ivana
My Daddy had a tumor that ate away his jaw and part of his ear all on the left side. You are strong like he was. I admire you so much. His tumor was so close to his jugular also. You are such an encouragement to all those going through this along with you. I hope if I’m ever diagnosed with cancer I would be as courageous as you. I admire the man husband, and father that you are. I look every day for your videos even if it’s just to say hello. Keep em comin.
Apparently he passed away.
Mitchell C he did.
This dude has to be about the toughest SOB ever I've ever seen... Seriously.. didn't let shit stop him.. this is heartbreaking to see he has passed.. especially in a time like this.. like isn't fair I tell u
The Guy That Talks Shit On TH-cam I know your trying to support this but sadly he’s passed away
it's primarily shock and denial
Chigen Nuhket first read then talk
Isaiah 57 New Living Translation (NLT)
57 Good people pass away;
the godly often die before their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
2 For those who follow godly paths
will rest in peace when they die.
He passed away
What an extraordinarily brave man. Rest in peace, brother!
this video can help a lot of people so sad condolences to his family , RIP, his quote about faith is priceless coming from him
Words at this point can't even express the extent of my admiration for you. Much love and respect to you, Jaci, your beautiful children and your entire family ♥️
as a person in the medical field I have seen some things that normal people cant handle... nothing shocks me... you are amazing my dude... keep on keepin on and have fun doin it!
Me too. I am retired now, but I will always miss trying to ease the suffering of a fellow human being who is in pain.
Although I never specialized in oncology during my 31-year career as a Registered Nurse, I took care of plenty of advanced cancer patients in several intensive care units. It amazes me to this day what the human body can tolerate in terms of pain. What's also incredible is the will to live in many people; some people let go quickly while others fight tooth-and-nail to survive. God bless dear one. May Jesus Christ lead you down the right path and show you the light at the end of the tunnel. My best to your family forever.
I too was in the medical field as a CNA and EMT. It breaks my heart to see people in pain and seeing what it does to the family. May God bless j and his family.
Yep...you can't fail if you just "do you"...that goes for everyone who is also trying to "do you"...ignoring their own lives..failures/successes as they try to "do you" instead of doing themselves. Walk in God's grace and light.
Stephen Pruszenski Amen. 🙏❤️🙏 10 out of 10 people will die , praying for you Mark. Your faith strengthens and encourages me.
This just popped up on my feed randomly, but I can’t imagine how painful that must have been to go through. He sounded like a really good guy, and tough as nails. I hope he’s doing better now out there in the universe.
I can see the pain in his eyes. I know I've been there. It takes a lot of strength to go through what you are going through. RIP man!
I'll never stop being amazed at how people can judge other people based on seeing a few minutes of their lives here & there. Mark - you don't need to worry about justifying anything. Take care, peace & love to you & your family.
I'm not one of the ones who's been asking to see your tumor. But I do find it fascinating none the less.
Thank you for being brave enough to share it with us.
I've been watching his older brother's (Matt) videos on Demolition Ranch for sooo many years. Matt has spoken about his family but I've rarely seen them, until he made a video regarding Mark's cancer.
I was praying and being hopeful for Mark's road to recovery and his family. I have 4 amazing uncles (all brothers)! I've lost 2 to cancer, 1 is fighting cancer at the moment, and the other is fine. I was unable to watch Mark and his channel, i just didn't want to see the possibility of him dwindling away like my uncles have.
Mark, I never gave myself a chance to become youtube family with you. After your passing I've been watching 3-4 videos on your channel everyday, I can't get enough of your content. I love you and Rest In Peace. Xoxoxo
Watching what this family has been through has made me cry. Such amazing people. Much love to them all!
Mark, I’m a nurse and it’s impossible to gross me out. But my heart is filled with love for you! You’re in my prayers young man, as well as your family.
Dude what you do or dont do with your kids, or anyone else, is no ones business but your own... forget the judgmental fools!
