I remember buying these for Marcus & Gabe after we all closed the biggest deal in company history(for that time, early days OpenSpace) We only did legendary shit, I miss you every day.

I’m Marcus mother and want to share the appreciation and gratitude our family has for all of you. Although Marcus life was short lived in our mind, God sent him to us to spread joy and happiness, which he did, and felt it was time to bring him home.  He has brought joy and laughter to our family from his first breathe out of the wound.  He came out yelling and would not stop until the nurses gave him a pacifier.  We could hear him yelling all the way down the hall and the laughter from all around him.  Marcus love life and enjoyed everyday as if it was the last day.  He loved his family, friends, fishing, basketball, roller skating, painting, & so much more.  Another short story: I would be talking to Marcus on the phone and a friend would call and he would say, I must go my friend is calling.  I would say, I am more important than your friend they can wait.  He would say, I must go, talk to you later. (LoL)  I would tell him, I think you love your friends more than me, and now I see why, you all loved him back, THANK YOU.  I am not mad at you anymore (just kidding), if Marcus was happy, I was happy. I am not certain how many characters I’m allow in the message (LoL), but I wanted to share some of our joy from Marcus life with you all, hopefully giving you more smiles.  In closing, again, and again, our family is overwhelmed with joy that you all have been a part of his life and have wonderful memories, to reflect throughout your life.  Your kind words and generous donation say it all.  We all know, Marcus would not want us to say sadness to long, just long enough to laugh your tears away.  He would say, go forth and continue to enjoy life, as he did.  May the Power of God continue to bless you and your family.  Keep Smiling and Stay Safe.

Ms. Claudia & Family

I was very sad to hear that Marcus had passed.  I remember him coming to the tutoring center as a student at Miramar.  He was always so friendly to my staff, tutors, and myself. He never needed help from us, but it was part of our routine to wave hello.
Sending serenity and healing to Marcus's family and loved ones.

Man where to begin. Whenever your name comes up a smile is always brought to my face! The biggest thing that sticks out about Marcus was how he loved EVERYONE. He just made everyone feel welcomed at all times. It won’t be the same without you man but we gonna live it up for you as you would want!

People tend to say, “it was God’s plan.”

But, I honestly find it hard to believe. I believe to say that this was an accident that God couldn’t get to in time. 

But that doesn’t mean God doesn’t have a plan for what happens after.

Marcus, “uncle Sammy Mac” as you told me I better start saying, you are an amazing impact on so many. I can’t keep saying “was” because I still don’t want to believe that you’re gone. I know you’ll be watching over me. I can’t think of the right words to say. 

My twin.. My uncle.. ME in male form.. gone forever? It doesn’t sound right nor will it ever sit right. You rest now Unc. We got everything down here.

Don't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
