I just received news of a tragic car accident which took the life of Constable Mark Neville and injured his wife and sons. Mark was a member of the RCMP and the friend of a friend which makes him family. I know this news is shocking and has hit a lot of people very hard. You all have our deepest condolences, especially his family.
His colleagues have started a Go Fund Me Page to help his family during this trying time. If you knew Mark please consider donating to this cause.

“Eric…. It is with great sadness that I am writing to you to let our brothers-in-arms know that one of our snipers and cherished friend, Mark Neville, has sadly perished in a vehicle accident in British Columbia on September 2nd. While travelling with his wife and 2 young sons, another vehicle crossed the center line and impacted Mark’s truck. He succumbed to his injuries at scene. His wife and two sons survived the incident and are recovering in hospital. Words cannot describe what our team is feeling right now.
Growing up in Canada’s north Mark was the embodiment of an easy going, humble, hard working, salt of the earth farm boy. He put people at ease with his demeanour, would give you the shirt off his back, and truly loved being a Mountie. In short, a man and a father that we all hope our sons will become.
Mark worked and trained extensively over the years with a number of your readers. In support of his family we have established a site to help his sons and wife. It can be found at;

I am deeply shocked and sad to hear of Mark’s tragic accident. I had the pleasure of working and training with Mark over the years. His enthusiasm and joy of life was inspiring to everyone around him! My deepest sympathies to his family and all his friends.
We are deeply saddened by this terrible news, our prayers go out to the family and friends. May you rest in peace.
So sad, it’s hard to go through a day without thinking of this whole family. It could be any of us. My heart also goes out to my sons and daughters that are cousins to this wonderful young man whom they loved.
RIP
This is so tragic. Love and prayers to Mark’s immediate family and his parents and siblings.
Saddened my day to learn of Mark’s passing. I enjoyed making his acquaintance last year at a VA Beach conference and sharing stories over a few beers. Til Valhalla brother. Wishes of a speedy recovery to your family.
