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
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.
This man showed us his reality. A reality some of us may face at some point. He did it with humility, bravado, and with a healthy dose of dark humor. Rest in peace, Mark. Thank you for sharing the ugliest of the ugly with us, a reality you lived. That's a really tough thing to do.
@@plantationsecurity you need to take a long hard look at your life and deal with whatever massive issues you got goin on buddy. e: nvm youre like 13 at most bros biggest issue in life rn is math class.
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.
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.
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.
What a cruel cruel disease, he was such a lovely man, I followed Emily Hayward and hers was skin cancer on her leg xx RIP all the people who lost the battle, and my partner who passed three years ago of terminal cancer, xx
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.
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. 🤗❤️😊
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 !
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
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!
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’m having a horrible day today i opened youtube and this was in my recommended. I think it’s god telling me to stop sweating the small stuff. This man was truly going through all of our worst fears, i’m so sorry you didn’t make it man. I hope you are resting peacefully and blessings to your family.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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 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 💪
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
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.
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.
"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
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...
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
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. ❤
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.
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.
I just started crying because I've been sitting here all week, being depressed about a job, and down, and here this man is, smiling. We need people like you dude. *I* need people like you. You put life I to perspective for me. I admire that. You're wonderful. Truly. Be proud of yourself, as i am of you. You're doing awesome. (:
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.
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.
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❣️
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.
"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
@@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
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!! ✝️🧚🏻🙏🏻♥️
I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I pray that you will be blessed and your precious family will be blessed as well. You are so strong. Thank you for your example.
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.
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.
You got this. Going out the way a man should, on his own terms. I'm glad I found your channel in time to share these precious moments. Thank you for sharing them with us.
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
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.!!!!
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 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
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 🙏🏻
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 ♥️
Oh Mark, am so sorry your having increased discomfort physically and emotionally. My heart goes out to you and your family. I understand your wondering how people try to go thru anything with out faith - I couldn't last a minute. Prayers, love and hugs to you and your family, may God show you his presence especially in the mornings but as you need him. Your never alone, but some times we need help seeing we arnt alone. My prayers continue.
As a spouse I went through this with him. The tumor eventually wrapped around the whole throat. It was tremendously huge. He lost teeth as well. My heart breaks, for this is not the "easiest" of cancer to have. You and your family are in my prayers and you are right about Faith! God bless you good sir.
The way How you handle this time and the whole thing is such a powerful statement of faith. I pray for strength for you right through the moment you will meet our Heavenly Father face to face and for your family to have reassurance that they have not lost you but they have received such a great package for life from you in these times. You are an amazing father and your wife is also a beautifully strong person. I think of your family regularly and pray for you all.
Mark you were so brave to make your decision, and just power through it the best you could. I come back here every once in a while to check on your family, and see if there's any more updates. So many people will always remember you, for being the toughest SOB ever! I know showing the tumor was gross for some people, but I think it's always better to know what you might be facing. This will help so many people in the future, as long as it stays here on YT. Love to you and your family!
Mark, thanks for showing us. I'm a retired nurse, so nothing grosses me out. That looks so incredibly painful, my friend. I know there must be some really bad days. Both with physical pain and emotional turmoil. This is not an easy journey to walk, but you are doing it with grace and dignity. Much Love, to you and your beautiful family, from Ontario, Canada 🍁...Keli 💖
No one has the right to ask to “see it”. It breaks my heart that you felt you had to do this. I lost my dad to a brain tumor last April. Nothing has hurt or changed me more than watching him day after day struggle until the end. Whatever time you have left..make every minute count with your family. I pray you feel supported and loved.
@@betsyann453 He did ask. He did it because he wanted to. It's just Mark's sense of humour people don't get lol SHOW IT!! FINE!!! I don't think anybody was actually pissed lol
@@alberteinstein3078 Yes, you are right @Albert Einstein. Mark knows exactly what to share with us and when to also. He is not the person that gets bullied into doing something because of outside pressure and opinions. He chose the path he is on now, not because of other people bullying him to do so, but because it was his decision to make. Sheila, you can rest at ease that other people's opinions and curiosity does not dictate to him what he does or does not do. Blessings. 🙏🙏❣
Betsy Ann MARK DID ASK & HE IS TRUE TO HIS OWN SELF...I RESPECT HIM DOING HIS OWN THING WHATEVER IT IS & HIM DOING IT HIS WAY... GOD LOVE HIM & BLESS MARK & HIS FAMILY 🙏♥️😇
I was wondering if you were having hard days and hoping you’d just even pop on if for just a hello. Bless you Mark for sharing so openly with us all. You are so brave and strong. I can’t imagine the pain with all the nerves in that part of the face as well as the bone pain from your jaw. Can you eat? I pray your death isn’t something from like a juggler or carotid erosion. That would be horrific for you as well as you family to witness. I pray you’ll just go to sleep and pass when God is ready for you. Take care.
I admire you for how you are handling this. A pastor told me one time that you don't have to like everyone but we are called by God to love and pray for them. Pray that their hearts change. That's how I feel about the people who are not compassionate and make judgemental comments on youtube. I don't like them so I just pray for them. I have learned that we all are in need of a savior, healer, redeemer and His name is Jesus. You are my brother in Christ. God bless you for sharing your journey. It has touched my heart in so many ways. Thank You.
Oh Mark! I had no idea of the extent of involvement. The bandage covers so much. Brother I'm praying for you and your family. So thankful that you have the assurance of your Salvation in Jesus. Love you brother.
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.
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.
I've been over seas nine times and seen the worst things war can offer. I've witnessed bravery and will at its highest concentration, and I'll say this to you Mark - I am in awe of your strength, will and spirit to thrive everyday no matter the pain no matter the endstate. You are humble and you'll never look at it quite this way but it is by example, exactly standing and staring in the face of the storm and cracking a joke for your wife and kiddos smile (and we all get to share a chuckle too) Thank you for the Man you are - Rock on
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.
You are one of the bravest and strongest soul I’ve ever learned of. Whenever i think about complaining of something challenging, your face comes in my mind now. Rest in Peace Mark.
This guy lived better and harder than me and there’s nothing wrong with me! Thanks for teaching a jerk like me this, and God Bless you and your family. Rest In Peace, and tell Jesus thanks for His pain and suffering as well.
I haven't commented here before. I feel so angry that such a vibrant loving young husband and father has to be in pain and deal with the dreaded "C". You're so strong in your heart and soul. I wish I had a magic wand. - I'd wish you health and a long, long life...but I know those are just useless words, and I feel helpless, again...😕no one hates "C" more than me - it took my beautiful daughter, my only child, when she was 20. I've been following you from Newfoundland Canada since before the diagnosis and like many of your subscribers, I'm sending you my strongest positive energy and my love, care and concern all wrapped up in a "grandma-like" hug. Keep faith in your heart ❤️
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.
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
Mark.. don’t know you will see this but it was stuck in my head watching your video... comes from Corinthians (sorry for all who dislike religion not trying to be preachy just sharing a thought. Sorry). Anyways... (I may mess this up) Therefore we do not lose heart... Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Mark your an amazing individual, a good father, and a great heart. It’s not much but I just wanted to say what I’ve learned since following you and look forward to many more videos. Really curious how the Jeep is doing.
Mark, something you said brought me back to when my husband found out about his cancer. We knew that God will heal him 1 of 3 ways. 1) miraculously 2) through doctors chemo, radiation, etc 3) by taking my husband home to be with Him. Thanks for your openness with your journey.
My heart bleeds for you. You are a beautiful person inside and out and you are brave, strong, sane... You have it bad a lot of the time yet still retain the most fantastic attitude. You're special.
I'm not grossed out by that, I am however so sorry you have to go through that. Cancer is a bitch and no one should have to suffer like that. Keep your faith buddy
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.
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 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
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.
Same Girl my day has been kind of wrecked since TH-cam recommended this to me this morning. Sad about a guy that I do not know
This man showed us his reality. A reality some of us may face at some point. He did it with humility, bravado, and with a healthy dose of dark humor. Rest in peace, Mark. Thank you for sharing the ugliest of the ugly with us, a reality you lived. That's a really tough thing to do.
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
Hey anyone know how to get a hold of him I'm trying to see if he will give me that tool box since he doesn't need it

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!
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.
@@faustinreeder1075 he was not a smoker
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.

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

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
Mark, you were so brave. Rest in peace, sir.. and thank you for sharing yourself with the world.
What a cruel cruel disease, he was such a lovely man, I followed Emily Hayward and hers was skin cancer on her leg xx
RIP all the people who lost the battle, and my partner who passed three years ago of terminal cancer, xx
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.
Jack Foot ok you made me tear up god bless all of you
Just managing to upload videos while going through all this was a feat in itself.
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. 🤗❤️😊
😮😮😮
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.

@@ChaNnArD-mD I am not as strong I would have roped long before then
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
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!
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’m having a horrible day today i opened youtube and this was in my recommended. I think it’s god telling me to stop sweating the small stuff. This man was truly going through all of our worst fears, i’m so sorry you didn’t make it man. I hope you are resting peacefully and blessings to your family.
So sad for you and your family. I see a brave young man doing his best to make great memories for his kids. I pray for all of you everyday. XOXO
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.
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.
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.
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! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

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❤
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.
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 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
This breaks my heart , straight up hero. Talk about a pair of balls. Rest easy ..
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
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.
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
"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
You’re way stronger than I could ever be. Best wishes man.
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! ❤️🙏✝️
💜🙏
So sorry that you are going through this! Hang in there!
Nurse here to Gweneth. I feel the same. Nothing grosses me out anymore.
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...
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
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. ❤
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.
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.
Wait hes dead

@Wubbzyツ your a kid you understand but when your older come back and see your funny emoji
@Ajgleskorv he was still young... You will understand when you're not a kid
Sometimes the lessons are in the living, and sometimes they are in the dying. You are inspiring in your courage.
Well said.
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.
I just started crying because I've been sitting here all week, being depressed about a job, and down, and here this man is, smiling. We need people like you dude. *I* need people like you. You put life I to perspective for me. I admire that. You're wonderful. Truly. Be proud of yourself, as i am of you. You're doing awesome. (:
He didn't do drugs
He passed away
RIP Man. Thank you... for everything. ❤
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.
Nothing to really say that all these fine people haven’t said. Sending love and prayers to you and your family and friends.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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
I will never complain about toothache ever again.

@@dirtdiva11011 I'm sure he cant smoke with that on his mouth, I'm sure he could eat an edible tho.
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!! ✝️🧚🏻🙏🏻♥️
I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I pray that you will be blessed and your precious family will be blessed as well. You are so strong. Thank you for your example.
This world misses your personality, Mark. You continue to motivate me even from heaven. Bless you brother.
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.
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.
You got this. Going out the way a man should, on his own terms. I'm glad I found your channel in time to share these precious moments. Thank you for sharing them with us.
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
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.!!!!
Rodrigo Diaz hmm you’re right! 🥇 how about this symbol? It fits!
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.
You've got the heart of a damn warrior man. You have a beautiful soul as well. Love.
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
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%!!!!
💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
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 ♥️
Oh Mark, am so sorry your having increased discomfort physically and emotionally. My heart goes out to you and your family. I understand your wondering how people try to go thru anything with out faith - I couldn't last a minute. Prayers, love and hugs to you and your family, may God show you his presence especially in the mornings but as you need him. Your never alone, but some times we need help seeing we arnt alone. My prayers continue.
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.
As a spouse I went through this with him. The tumor eventually wrapped around the whole throat. It was tremendously huge. He lost teeth as well. My heart breaks, for this is not the "easiest" of cancer to have. You and your family are in my prayers and you are right about Faith! God bless you good sir.
I’m sure your husband sorry you had to witness that but glad you stood steadfast by him acting like it didn’t freak you out, God bless you Shawn ❤️
Dude what you do or dont do with your kids, or anyone else, is no ones business but your own... forget the judgmental fools!
The way How you handle this time and the whole thing is such a powerful statement of faith. I pray for strength for you right through the moment you will meet our Heavenly Father face to face and for your family to have reassurance that they have not lost you but they have received such a great package for life from you in these times. You are an amazing father and your wife is also a beautifully strong person. I think of your family regularly and pray for you all.
This brings tears to my eyes. What a sweet comment.
Mark you were so brave to make your decision, and just power through it the best you could. I come back here every once in a while to check on your family, and see if there's any more updates. So many people will always remember you, for being the toughest SOB ever! I know showing the tumor was gross for some people, but I think it's always better to know what you might be facing. This will help so many people in the future, as long as it stays here on YT. Love to you and your family!
Mark, thanks for showing us. I'm a retired nurse, so nothing grosses me out.
That looks so incredibly painful, my friend.
I know there must be some really bad days. Both with physical pain and emotional turmoil.
This is not an easy journey to walk, but you are doing it with grace and dignity.
Much Love, to you and your beautiful family, from Ontario, Canada 🍁...Keli 💖
No one has the right to ask to “see it”. It breaks my heart that you felt you had to do this. I lost my dad to a brain tumor last April. Nothing has hurt or changed me more than watching him day after day struggle until the end. Whatever time you have left..make every minute count with your family. I pray you feel supported and loved.
He asked if people wanted to see it.
@@betsyann453 He did ask. He did it because he wanted to. It's just Mark's sense of humour people don't get lol SHOW IT!! FINE!!! I don't think anybody was actually pissed lol
@@alberteinstein3078 Yes, you are right @Albert Einstein. Mark knows exactly what to share with us and when to also. He is not the person that gets bullied into doing something because of outside pressure and opinions. He chose the path he is on now, not because of other people bullying him to do so, but because it was his decision to make. Sheila, you can rest at ease that other people's opinions and curiosity does not dictate to him what he does or does not do. Blessings. 🙏🙏❣
Betsy Ann
MARK DID ASK & HE IS TRUE TO HIS
OWN SELF...I RESPECT HIM DOING
HIS OWN THING WHATEVER IT IS &
HIM DOING IT HIS WAY...
GOD LOVE HIM & BLESS MARK & HIS FAMILY 🙏♥️😇
@Albert Einstein Yeah... I thought that was a brilliant title. It was click bait without being click bait lol.
I was wondering if you were having hard days and hoping you’d just even pop on if for just a hello. Bless you Mark for sharing so openly with us all. You are so brave and strong. I can’t imagine the pain with all the nerves in that part of the face as well as the bone pain from your jaw. Can you eat? I pray your death isn’t something from like a juggler or carotid erosion. That would be horrific for you as well as you family to witness. I pray you’ll just go to sleep and pass when God is ready for you. Take care.
Everyone keep watching these videos to help his family.Mark was one of the good guys!!!
I admire you for how you are handling this. A pastor told me one time that you don't have to like everyone but we are called by God to love and pray for them. Pray that their hearts change. That's how I feel about the people who are not compassionate and make judgemental comments on youtube. I don't like them so I just pray for them. I have learned that we all are in need of a savior, healer, redeemer and His name is Jesus. You are my brother in Christ. God bless you for sharing your journey. It has touched my heart in so many ways. Thank You.
Sarah Michaels 😢❤️🙏
Oh Mark! I had no idea of the extent of involvement. The bandage covers so much. Brother I'm praying for you and your family. So thankful that you have the assurance of your Salvation in Jesus. Love you brother.
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
Bless your heart. Prayers
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.
Cat Davis lifting you up as well ❤️
Thank you everyone! And yes yes! Truly Jesus is the reason why I feel such peace. My heart just breaks for those suffering.
Heather Sanchez amen
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.
I've been over seas nine times and seen the worst things war can offer. I've witnessed bravery and will at its highest concentration, and I'll say this to you Mark - I am in awe of your strength, will and spirit to thrive everyday no matter the pain no matter the endstate. You are humble and you'll never look at it quite this way but it is by example, exactly standing and staring in the face of the storm and cracking a joke for your wife and kiddos smile (and we all get to share a chuckle too) Thank you for the Man you are - Rock on
Oh mark, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Sending you love 💜
😔...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.
You are one of the bravest and strongest soul I’ve ever learned of. Whenever i think about complaining of something challenging, your face comes in my mind now.
Rest in Peace Mark.
This guy lived better and harder than me and there’s nothing wrong with me! Thanks for teaching a jerk like me this, and God Bless you and your family. Rest In Peace, and tell Jesus thanks for His pain and suffering as well.
impactajuvenile amen
My soul left me when he said his first priority is playing with his kids
I'm not crying....i swear.

I haven't commented here before. I feel so angry that such a vibrant loving young husband and father has to be in pain and deal with the dreaded "C". You're so strong in your heart and soul. I wish I had a magic wand. - I'd wish you health and a long, long life...but I know those are just useless words, and I feel helpless, again...😕no one hates "C" more than me - it took my beautiful daughter, my only child, when she was 20. I've been following you from Newfoundland Canada since before the diagnosis and like many of your subscribers, I'm sending you my strongest positive energy and my love, care and concern all wrapped up in a "grandma-like" hug. Keep faith in your heart ❤️
Sorry to hear about your daughter.
I, too, am sorry about your daughter. My daughter also died from cancer. Love and a hug for 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.
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
Bless your heart. It’s just not fair and I am just so incredibly sorry that you’re even going through this
Mark.. don’t know you will see this but it was stuck in my head watching your video... comes from Corinthians (sorry for all who dislike religion not trying to be preachy just sharing a thought. Sorry). Anyways... (I may mess this up) Therefore we do not lose heart... Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Mark your an amazing individual, a good father, and a great heart. It’s not much but I just wanted to say what I’ve learned since following you and look forward to many more videos. Really curious how the Jeep is doing.
"an eternal glory that outweighs them all." 🙏🙏❣
My son read that at my husband’s funeral in November. 😢
Amen
gravedon gaming 2 Cor 4:16-18 Thanks for giving these tonight
Amen. Thankful for God’s promises and that this life is temporary.
He was a brave courageous man to share his journey. RIP
Mark, something you said brought me back to when my husband found out about his cancer. We knew that God will heal him 1 of 3 ways. 1) miraculously 2) through doctors chemo, radiation, etc 3) by taking my husband home to be with Him. Thanks for your openness with your journey.
My heart bleeds for you. You are a beautiful person inside and out and you are brave, strong, sane... You have it bad a lot of the time yet still retain the most fantastic attitude. You're special.
He's dead
I'm calling out to anyone, please help this man with his projects . He deserves it.
Race Car Boyd🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Rest in Peace Mark.
I hope Jackie and the kids are doing alright. God bless them.
Oh man, so sorry for this guys family. Seemed like a wonderful person, life is not fair sometimes.
Avalanche2 a lot of awesome people are taken far too soon and a lot of evil bastards aren’t taken soon enough 😔
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.
I'm not grossed out by that, I am however so sorry you have to go through that. Cancer is a bitch and no one should have to suffer like that. Keep your faith buddy
Unbelieveable strength and courage right there. Mark was one tough s.o.b
