Mark was one of the best soccer officials in my 19 years of coaching. I could always expect a friendly hug & a well called game. He will be missed!
I have known Mark since the mid 90's and have had many a hug and a conversation over the years. I was always glad to see him officiating because I knew it would be done well. Once though, I got a facebook message from him in the spring. It was not soccer season. He had found a 'groundhog' baby on the road and wanted to see if I could take it since, as a veterinarian, I do Wildlife rehabilitation. He brought it to the office and while it was scaly and wormy and had fleas, lice and mange, the little brown fuzzy thing obviously did not have the teeth of a rodent. Mark had found a baby fox (kit)! He grew into a beauty and was released later that year. He loved his mice above all else. Mark had a heart that loved soccer and all God's critters. I will miss my friend.
With loving memories of "Mark Wiley",
I met Mark as another Soccer Official. He and I officiated several games together and my last Regional Assignment was with Mark. He was a great official and even a better person. The soccer community lost a lot and I lost a person I considered a friend. Jon Dick
"Mark Wiley" will remain in our hearts forever.
To Kathy, Marko, and Lori Anything, anytime, we are here for you. Love y'all always. Dawn & Dave Lester.
I remember the first time I was introduced to the family. They had three dogs and the dogs were protective of Mark. I couldn't even get close to him without a growel or bark. I was so nervous. But Mark kept them under control and the family made me feel like I was welcomed. And before long, I was part of their little family. I couldn't wait to get back up here from Florida to see them and spend time with them. Mark always had a joke or comment to make me laugh. I will miss those comments,..but I will always remember those days with a smile. The movies we went to, the ones we watched at home with pizza, and chips. Seeing Marko grow into the man he is today. These precious memories of this precious family I will carry with me forever. You will be missed and remembered my friend ❤️🥺.you have left a mark in this world. And I will be waiting for the day you let Dave know what is out there after you left here. LOL, after all, you both talked about it a lot..😊
