PetaPixel posted a beautiful homage to Mark:

Mark Weir is a legend in this industry, who absolutely put customers and experience first and foremost. Anyone reading this who enjoys good beer and even better company, raise a glass to Mark Weir tonight!

I personally never met him, but instinctively always like his presence and the way he spoke in interviews. I can only wish him well for his next adventure!
