Tributes
Leave a tributeI lost a very close and very unique friend last year. Your friendship is something that can not be described, except by those who knew you well. You were a person of privacy, yet a man who was willing to crack open that door to intimate friends at the most of unexpected times. I treasured that quality of your soul, but you were taken from us totally by surprise and way too early. Yet surprise was who you were. Your were true to yourself to the end. It is the one time I wished that you opened your door all the way.
You were loved and respected by many and my world is a sadder place.
However, I feel blessed to have known you for the man you were and the friend you were.
Shalom my friend,
DC
Ben, sending you and Tanya a hug and a prayer!
You were the best of friends, When we passed each other in airport hallways, you always had that "look of mischief" on your face. We would stop, chat and laugh our butts off. I considered you among my best friends at empire, losing you is difficult for all of us.
You will be forever in my heart and in my most pleasant memories of my life. With you gone, things have finally "Blown". DC
Marc made a huge difference in people's lives and succeeded at things that mattered, things of the heart.
Love, Jennifer
At the rising of the sun and at its going down
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter
We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and the rebirth of spring
We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.
Marc, you will forever be remembered! I pray you are resting comfortably in your heavenly father's arms. May God bless you forever!
Ben, Tanya & Doug M, you all were the light in Marc's world! I know he was grateful for each of you!

Working with Marc
In a year's time, Marc and I worked very closely together on many of the movies that were presented during Real Estate Training. I enjoyed creating the special effects for Marc and we had a great time together working on these.

Marc farewell tribute by Lillian Stern Durkel
This is devastating for me, for the loss of my brother Marc, which was not only premature, but tragic in so many ways.
Regardless, I want to focus on the fond memories we shared, though very limited. You see, our time together was short, our lives regretfully took separate paths, we both moved in different directions, and the rest is history.
Marc had so many amazing qualities. I remember always being so proud of his many accomplishments.This was always something that would put a smile on my face, considering our childhood adversities. Marc always had the ability to rise above all that, and overcome any obstacle put before him.
Whatever those struggles were, he succeeded to heights above and beyond what I could have possibly imagined.
As far back as I can remember, he was always the one to help in times of need with support, advice, and a solid solution. Not to mention utilizing his great sense of humor, to make me feel that whatever the situation, we can find a way to laugh and I could get through it.
I am happy that he lived a full and comfortable life, and got to fulfill his dreams. Though his time, and the time we had together was short, in the end, our closeness, regardless of the distance, meant so very much to me. I will miss him dearly, but somehow I know in my heart, he is near. He has already sent me a sign letting me know he is safe.
He is now at peace, and in the comfort and arms of my Dad and sister. Love you bro!
