I am sadden to pass the information that Ashley Debes passed away yesterday, Saturday, after a very long and courageous battle with Leukemia.    Please show your support by leaving a message on Ashley's website http://www.caringbridge.org/wi/ashley/.  I am sure the family would appreciate the support from the Crownline family.

Sam - Even though this is extremely sad news, thanks for sharing the information and the link.  I bought my boat from Mark and was aware of the situation with his kids.  Having two children of my own, I can't imagine what a painful time they've had.  I posted on the site but if you are close with the Debes family, please pass along our sympathies and support.

Sam,

Thanks for the update.  This is a sad time for the Debes family.  I signed the guestbook.  I haven't heard from Mark for a couple of years.  I hope he is coping well.

To anyone who may be interested in participating:

A group of us are putting together a donation.  Once I know the family's wishes (for a memorial), I'll post them here.  If you're interested in participating, email me at travisploman@charter.net.  We'll probably do something via paypal to make it easy for anyone who wants to get involved.
