Vale - Kickitanywhere34

[nicko74]

RIP KIA34. Remained steadfast in his belief Clarkson was a done deal when many were doubting it.

Was sent the news this morning that longtime poster KickItAnywhere34 passed away after a battle with cancer.

He was a massive north man and always looked after myself and my family whenever we flew over and would attend games in Melbourne.

Last caught up at gather round against Brisbane in 2024 and he was in remission and was just travelling and following the side week in week out - loved the club greatly.

Will always be the one that delivered that great Clarko info during what was such an exciting time to get him to the club.

Bloody awful news mate. Thanks for passing it on.

KIA34 certainly made an impression around here and it’s always sad to lose a passionate North supporter. Much moreso someone you’ve gotten to know to some degree, and one you’ve interacted and communicated privately with.

Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

VALE indeed.

Poor bastard. Many thanks to him for giving us the greatest era this board's had, and sympathies for the family, and anyone on here who knew him

RIP KIA34, you will be missed.

RIP KIA34. All the best to friends and family.

 

[Themanbun]

Devastating news. Rest in peace mate. Condolences to his family.

I first met Mark in 1995 (Rd 18 v WCE to be exact - Simmo's first game) and of the almost 500 games I have attended since, there would have been less than 10 games when we didn't sit with each other. We had many adventures together - either just the 2 of us, with the boys or including our families, and almost all of my favorite North memories in life involve you being there. On Sunday, a couple of us were lucky enough to spend our last time with Mark - in hospital with him and his girls - just telling Mark stories, laughing, crying and just hoping that he wasn't in pain.

Mark - On Sunday, we know you could hear us and I hope that you were able to smile on the inside. We love you, we miss you already and our hearts are toitally broken. We know that now you have a direct line to the big fella upstairs, that there will be some good times ahead for North in the not too distant future, and so we promise to include you and the girls in all the celebrations we are going to have going forward.

RIP Mark - Kick it Anywhere #34!!!

Thanks for sharing and sorry for your loss.

Condolences to Mark’s family and friends. His username will live on on this board for years to come. Largely as he fuelled the excitement at Clarko’s arrival and with it some of North Bigfooty’s best moments as a community.

He gave us hope in our darkest hour and then came thru with it too.

Terrible news... cancer can GAGF!

I hope his family and friends are ok. KIA34 was and still is an absolute legend... RIP

Exactly this. I stalked the Clarko thread 24/7 for KIA34 posts.

Very sad news. Sending lots of blue and white hearts to his family and friends

 

[Shermanator]

Very sad indeed.

Hollow feeling losing a fellow Roo, especially someone who had an impact around here and was a legit ITK.

RIP Rooboy

 

[SnowyontheTram]

Very sad news and my condolences to his family.
Brought calm and hope to a very anxious period for all.
Referring any rumour back to KIA34 has become a part of our vernacular.
His legend will live forever.

 

[DuckYeah]

Condolences great one

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That’s just absolutely awful news.

RIP and sincere condolences to family and friends.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Cancer can go eat a bag of dks.
So sorry to hear. RIP KIA34.

Inconcussus sub impetu.

RIP KIA34, loved your work.

Hi all, I’m KIA34’s daughter. Just wanted to say it was so lovely to read all these messages out to our family. He loved North Melbourne and we will continue his legacy in Bay 34. I’m sure if anyone would like to come to his funeral, just get in touch. Cheers Jordan and family.

Condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father.
May he rest in peace.


I have been an Aisle34er since 2014 so hope the club gave him some nice memories over the years at Marvel

Will always remember his Clarko mail and the excitement when he signed on. God bless.

Hey jordan123cleary, just got home from work and logged on, to see this on the thread list, I'm completely shocked, haven't heard from him in awhile but was a very respected poster on here, I'm speechless and I am so sorry for your loss, his love for our great club was so evident and I hope as well as everyone on here that you can become a poster on here but if you don't, it doesn't matter, what you did by coming on here and saying your bit about your father was very touching and while I didn't know him, I'm sure he would be looking down at you and smiling, you've done him proud jordan123cleary!

GOD BLESS YOU KIA34!
