we grew up together and you've been my best friend through thick and thin. You were always that one who would be there no matter what time of day it was. You had good heart, and were willing to do anything for anyone. You loved to fish and hunt and I cherish the times we spent talking about it and telling stories about it. I'll never forget the crazy times we spent together. No matter what you will still be my best friend and I'll love you forever.

Markus you were one sweet, lovable, and funny child then grew up to be great young man. I am really hating that I didn"t spend as much time with you or your Grammy in the last 3-4 years as I did the first 12-14 years of your life. I have some great pictures of you over the years and I'm so thankful for that. You will be truly missed. Love you kiddo.

This still seems so unreal. You didn't deserve this. I'm so glad I was lucky enough to get to watch you grow from such a sweet little boy to a fine young man. You were one of a kind and you will truly be missed more than you know. Me and Lizzi love you so much and will forever miss you. RIP Markus!

Markus , you were truly one a kind. You left us way to early, but your love will go on forever and ever. I'll never forget Mr. Jenkins class with you, it took me forever to learn how to weld but you never once gave up on me. Or when we'd go fishing and you'd make fun of the way I would cast my pole and nest it every now and then , but you'd always help me fix it. You are truly a blessing! Thank you for all of the many memories that we've made in a such short period of time. 17 years just aren't enough. it's not fair. I miss you so so much. i love you Markus , rest in peace babe!

You were loved by so many. All the countless memories from your lake house to bass pro shops, pizza Friday at school, keeping me laughing in class, long phone calls, I remember you taught the whole class about you're true passion. Coon hunting and fishing. Your sweet soul can now rest in peace fishing in heaven with your daddy. I will miss you dearly sweet boy.

Sonny, I have known you for over 16 years and I have no words to express how I feel thinking about your son Markus. His image is so vivid in my mind when he visited my home with you. I spoke to him and asked him about his studies and interests and found him as a very smart child with lots of ambitions and dreams. I was so happy that you have a wonderful child. Perhaps God wanted him to live in this world only during his childhood and enjoy all the love and affection and comforts given by his family. He took him away before all the life's drama begin. I believe that God gave him to your family because that is where he would have the best 17 years of his life. I love you and will miss you so much dear Markus. May you have great fun in heaven with God and all your loved ones there.
