May his soul rest in the peace of Christ ; may he enjoy the eternity of God’s love ; may his family and friends be comforted in their sorrow and hold fast to the memories of time shared with Mark .

We were all shocked and deeply saddened when we learnt of Mark’s unexpected passing. Mark was a true Christian role model to us all but especially in the Boys Brigade with his work over many decades as a leader in the 12th company, as a member of the training team, as our Chaplain and latterly as our President.
All of the leaders, boys and past members of the 7th will deeply miss his Christian warmth, friendship, sense of humour, and words of wisdom.
At such a sad time, we wish to convey sincere and deep condolences to Jean, Kim and Sam and will continue to keep you and your wider family in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Dear Jean, Kim and Sam,
It was with great shock and sadness that I learnt of Mark's passing. I worked with him in the Claims Department, AXA for many years. He was a genuine, kind and professional colleague and it was a privilege to have known him.
My sincere sympathies to you all on your great loss. May he Rest in Peace.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Mark. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

We had the privilege of getting to know Mark as administrator for Abbey Presbyterian Church in Parnell Square. His kind, persevering; caring and practical help has been such a blessing to us. Mark was held in much esteem within Abbey and beyond and we feel his loss keenly as a good and trusted friend. Our love and prayers are very much kept for Jean and his family about whom he told us so many loving stories with such delight. As they tread the path of grief may God be their ever present help, comfort and strength.

Deepest sympathies to all Mark's family on his passing. May he rest in peace.

Derek, so sorry that you lost your brother. Our deepest sympathy to all the Acheson family.

Thank you all for a beautiful service for a lovely man of whom we have fond memories in 2nd Dublin Boy's Brigade.
Jean, we were all able to watch the service live as Valerie happened to be off. Our son remembers a jolly man from a Boys' Brigade camp in Kilkenny. Our daughter who was an officer in Tallaght BB also sends from London her memories of passionate BB gentlemen as do all our leaders. God bless you all in the days to come.

What a gent. A gorgeous, kind and interested man. So sorry to hear about Mark's passing. Deepest condolences to Marks nearest and dearest. RIP

Deepest Sympathies to all the Acheson Family especially Jean, Kim and Sam.
Mark was a true gentleman, and it was an honor to have worked with and befriended him over the years. He will be sadly missed in this world by the many lives he touched.

I was very sorry to hear of Mark's passing. When we had no rector Mark would travel out to our church in Kilsallaghan to lead worship, always greeting you with a warm smile. He radiated goodness, fortunate are those of us who knew him.

I can't convey the shock and sadness we all felt when we heard of Marks passing. Mark was one of the kindest, most genuine men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. No matter the occasion, he always had a smile on his face and was quick to welcome you. It was really quite infectious. He was very supportive of myself and the leaders of the 2nd Dublin. Mark was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest heartfelt condolences to Marks family and friends. Our thoughts are with you all and our doors open, should you need anything. From all of us at the 2nd Dublin Tallaght,

Deepest sympathy to Jean, Kim. Sam., mum Iris and the extended family and friends of dear Mark who was amazing beautiful person and friend.
I cherish all the wonderful memories of being in Mark's company, his great counsel and friendship during our NYCI days . We had many a great encounters , struggles during those days in 1980's and Mark always showed wonderful leadership in all the positions he held. All remember Mark as a really great and good person, with a beautiful smile and his deep faith . That deep Christian faith was a key character of Marks life prespective and left a lasting impression with me.
I am so sad to hear of his sudden passing and the sadness his passing bring to his family and many..We are all blessed to have known him and to have called him a dear friend.
You all will be in my thoughts and prayers at this time and into the future.

Jean, we were so sorry to hear about Mark. Our sincere condolences to you and all of your family.

So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. We hadn’t spoken since our CIYC days in the ‘80s (of which I have very fond memories) but we had reconnected on Facebook for which I am thankful. Condolences to Jean and family

Deepest sympathy to all the Acheson family. What a lovely gentleman he was. Having known him from when he was a child to the present day. Always the same and a pleasure to talk to. May God's presence be with you all knowing Mark is watching over ye.

Our deepest condolences to Jean, Kim, Sam and all Mark 's family on his unexpected and far too early passing. Remembering a great mentor, supporter and adviser from our CIYC days but most of all a good friend. At times like this words seem so inadequate but hopefully in time you will be able to take comfort in many good memories. While we cannot be there in person this morning you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry indeed to hear of Mark's death, may he rest in peace. I remember Mark in PMPA as such a joyful, positive and empathetic person. A wonderful work colleague, who saw good in everybody, has gone to God. His calling to ministry was no surprise to any of us; he radiated a kind of heavenly joy. I still have a little card in my wallet, quoting scripture, that Mark gave me well over 40 years ago. Mark, your good works have gone ahead of you. My very sincere condolences to all Mark's family. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.

Shocked to hear terrible news about poor Mark was one of the first in congregation to welcome me as a new member I'll never forget him he was always warm and smiling just a reflection of our master Jesus.
My condolences to his lovely family and may Mark rest in peace.
May our heavenly Father comfort you in his presence through the tender care of our Lord Jesus amen.
