Sapper Quinsey was born in Birmingham in 1985 and joined the Army when he was 19. Following his basic training he attended the combat engineer course at Minley before qualifying as an electrician at the Royal School of Military Engineering in Chatham. He served with 38 Engineer Regiment in both Ripon and Northern Ireland and deployed on a number of training exercises throughout the UK. Most recently he attended the intensive class 1 electricians' course, which he completed with flying colours in 2008.
Sapper Quinsey was a charismatic and affable young soldier. Eager to put his recently gained trade knowledge to use, Sapper Quinsey was looking forward to the operational challenges that Afghanistan would offer. At only 23 he had already emerged as a mature, reliable and hugely capable young soldier with vast future potential.
Lieutenant Colonel Roger Lewis, Commanding Officer 38 Engineer Regiment, said:
"Sapper Quinsey was an outwardly calm, resolute and motivated young soldier. A social live wire and hugely popular across the regiment, he was rarely away from the centre of the action.
"Professionally his approach reflected his infectious enthusiasm for life. As one of the few soldiers within my regiment to have completed the demanding class 1 electricians' course his trade skills were invaluable. He was hugely passionate about his trade and eager to put his new qualifications to good use in Afghanistan. We were expecting him to play a vital role maintaining the living and working conditions of British soldiers serving in southern Afghanistan. Tragically he has been denied this opportunity.
"This has been a traumatic time and the regiment and I are devastated to have lost such a fine and promising soldier. It is with greatest sympathy that I extend my sincere and heartfelt condolences to Mark's family and friends for their irreplaceable loss."
Major Darren Woods, Officer Commanding 25 Field Squadron, said:
"The death of Sapper Quinsey has dealt a heavy blow to the squadron, many of whom have already deployed to Afghanistan. To lose such a charismatic young soldier in the prime of his life has been a tragedy of immeasurable magnitude.
"I have known Sapper Quinsey for almost two years and in that time have never found him without a positive word or the ability to make light of any situation. His wide circle of friends pays testimony to his popularity. As a soldier he was committed to achieving the best he could in all areas. In particular he was an accomplished tradesman who new that his work could and would make a difference to the daily lives of his friends and comrades on operations. This was always Mark's motivation.
"My last and perhaps abiding memory of Sapper Quinsey will be him helping the second-in-command work late to complete the final deployment preparations to send the squadron on operations. It was neither Mark's role nor responsibility, but he did it and did it well. That was his way; no complaints, just get it done. He will be sorely missed.
"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are now with Mark's family throughout this period and into what will undoubtedly be a difficult time ahead."

When we lose someone
but dont know why?
We cant understand
no matter how we try,
It just Leaves us sad,
with so much hurt and pain
and very often
drives us insane

A Shooting star
Fly's through the sky,
The Moon is Beaming,
Way up High.
The Darkness
Falls all around,
The Night Sky
appears without a sound
The stars begin Twinkling
out some Light,
and our Angels are
Keeping us in there Sight

THE BROKEN HEART FEELS PAIN
I have always thought that a Broken heart
Was just a figure of speech
That the heart doesn’t truly break,
It’s just the words we speak.
And then my loved one went away,
Up to the Heaven’s to stay
I found that heartbreak was no lie,
My heart truly felt the pain!

SOME NIGHTS.......
SOME NIGHTS IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO EVEN SLEEP
MY EYES ARE SO SORE FROM THE TEARS I WEEP
I LOOK TO THE SKIES I SEARCH FOR A STAR
EACH ONE LOOKS SO CLOSE YET IT IS SO FAR
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES HELPS TO BRING COMFORT MY WAY
I STARE AT THE STAR UNTIL NIGHT TURNS TO DAY
TEARS UPON MY PILLOW THAT NEVER SEEM TO DRY
HAS I WATCH MY STAR FADE FROM THE SKY
A NEW DAWN BREAKS I WONDER WHY I AM STILL HERE
ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER WEEK ANOTHER YEAR
TIME HAS PASSED I NEVER EVEN NOTICED IT GO BY
I TURN MY HEAD TOWARDS MY PILLOW ONCE AGAIN I CRY
A MILLION TIMES I HAVE CALLED OUT YOUR NAME
MY HEART IS FULL OF SORROW SO FULL OF PAIN
JUST WAITING FOR THE TIME THAT I SHALL SEE YOU ONCE MORE
WHEN I HEAR YOUR VOICE CALLING ME TO HEAVENS DOOR.....

............ ♥ A christmas Loss ♥
Christmas is a Special Time
A time we Celebrate,
When everyone gets together
and the children just cant wait
so many excited feelings
and family bond together
Singinging voices everywhere
some people want it to last forever.
But for some it brings them sadness
followed by thoughts of woe and despair
for the loss of their Loved ones
can be more than they can bare.
Christmas can be a reminder,
for those who lossed someone they Love
Especially the Angel on top of the Tree,
It's when their Angel was Taken Above.

♥ Why Did You Go ♥
I have a moment nearly every day,
It doesnt stop hurting i have to say,
now your gone my thoughts of you
are of all those things we had to do.
those moments we should have shared together,
and the memories that should have lasted forever
Instead all i get are these tears of woe
and wondering why you had to go!
