Mark's body will arrive at 4pm on 6 Sept at the temple on Jomtien beach road for bathing rites and placed in the coffin. He be 3 nights at temple and then cremated, I'm guessing, on 9 Sept?

Popular Post tootall Posted September 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2022 Hey AgMech Cowboy, thanks for posting that notice about Mark Gorda. I just left Pattaya after 2 1/2 months. I got injured and could not see my friends, like Mark. I am saddened to hear the news. He was a great guy, very funny, sharp wit, great to party with. He was very actice in raising money for Thai children and schools through his annual Canadian Open golf tournament and contributing for the Jester's "Care For Kids" charity. He would MC the awards program for his golf tournaments and would have a wild coat made for himself for the tournament that would make your eyes hurt looking at it, always a clown. He was a Canadian native, who married a Thai wife. He worked in the oil business in the Thailand and surrounding areas. He was so energetic and fun to party with. He will be missed by me and most of the people who knew him around the Jomtien area where he lived. Rest in peace my good friend and brother. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea about Mark's social life. He had not, yet, retired. Sadly, I do not know his cause of death. I made the post here, because he has lived in Thailand 10+ years and worked in Asia and the ME. Since I don't know his friends, this was one of the few way's I've had to let them know 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see from some comments above he was a good person. Until today, I didn't know he was 64. Here and LinkedIn were the only two ways I knew to get the word out and let his friends know. (I found out from his brother who had contacted me in LinkedIn). Edited September 6, 2022 by AgMech Cowboy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
