RIP Mark Eaton

Would’ve been insane. Gotta wonder if the Jazz make it to the finals in at least one of ‘94 or ‘95.

Could have caused some problems for olajuwon. Might have made a difference.

I think I met him 3 times. 2 of them were just at meet & greets (once at my work, once in the basement of Crossroads Mall) and once at his restaurant. He just came up and asked us how our meal was, that kind of thing, but he seemed genuinely nice and interested in what I had to say every time.

Only the good die young, or at least before their time, it often seems. Shocking when it happens without warning.

Seems like seven foot tall humans have shorter lifespans than average size humans
Seems to be too hard on their system, but I 'm just guessing and probably wrong
Mark was really a fine decent person. Very sad to see him gone

Win it all for Big Mark!

I have this early in game promotion giveaway relic poster with big Mark. For me he was the salt palace era of the Jazz. I saw most of his games.
My favorite individual memory was Mark and Karl Malone getting into some shoving matches at East High during summer league 1986. RIP

For every block Mark had that year, Physician Health Plans of Utah donated $5 to the Special Olympics of Utah. Cheap *** bastards.

Sad day indeed! Still, he had a wonderful life. Came swiftly no suffering, doing what he enjoyed. Old age is not at a perk of being a Giant. Love ya Mark!
