| Tres Pescado Winner Dies
FNC - Mark Elliott, one of the 2 member team that won the 1st Annual Tres Pescado Slam Tournament in San Pedro, Belize this past August and was slated along with Thomas Reckling to represent Belize in the 2010 IGFA Inshore World Championships this next June, die suddenly of what is believed to be a heart attack on October 20, 2009. He was only 45 years old.
Born Mark Lea Elliott in Durban, South Africa on 23rd September 1964 to English parents, Mark grew up in England before moving to Houston in 1985. After graduating from University of St. Thomas, Mark worked for several major corporations in Houston ending his successful career with IBM. Mark was passionate about hunting and fly fishing. Mark's extensive fly fishing exploits recently peaked with the winning of the "Tres Pescado Slam Tournament" in Belize, qualifying him for the 2010 IGFA World Championships. He was preceded in death by his father, Ian Lea Elliott and is survived by his loving mother, Elizabeth Mary Milling; brothers, David & Charles Elliott, girlfriend Wendy Nichols and an extended loving family. Mark had a huge personality and will be deeply missed by his many friends, family and colleagues. Thanks Giving Service: 3:00 PM, Thursday, October 29, 2009 at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Houston. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Foundation in his memory.
Mark will be missed on the fly fishing circuit especially this next year at the 2nd Annual Tres Pescado Slam Tournament.
