It's hard to even know where to start with a guy who literally made you laugh a million times and could fill books with the adventures you went on. Marcus as we all know could get a party started at any moment with total strangers. He was the person who was so engaging and fun even the table next to you wanted to join in on the Marcus led event which could have been a night in Vegas or breakfast at a diner. He was the kindest and most compassionate human I think I have ever met. He gave to everyone that needed and even to some that didn't just cause that's who he was. You had to fight him for the check even if he just showed up at the last call. I don't know if I ever saw him without a smile on his face or ready to go out before you finished the suggestion. Marcus touched my soul in a way not any other human has with how he cared for so many and wanted everyone to not just participate but to feel like family. He loved his family so much and was so proud of Jodi and the girl's accomplishments. His energy will be missed and his infectious outgoing personality as well. We all owe it to Marcus to reach across the isle and invite people in to our lives and share our joy and fun with them like he would have. Marcus lived more in his 49 years than most would live in 3 lifetimes. It doesn't ease the pain or fill the voids, but it sure helps me feel good that he's still carrying on the show and waiting for us to arrive to be part of it once again. Rest in Paradise Marcus, until we get a chance to see you again.
