May you find peace, Marcus. We hadn't stayed in touch since high school but reconnected later in life, along with many of your SAS friends and classmates. You had the same sense of humor and wit even in the midst of your dire situation. Hope you have been released and moved on to something better that you deserve.

To my big cousin Marcus. I miss u, I’m glad your not in pain anymore and your at peace. I always remember the good times as a kid growing up at our Grandparents house during the summers picking food out of paw paw’s garden, and taking it to grandmother so she could cook it for us. U and Angela always made it so fun for us. Love u always.

To my cousin Marcus who's time was cut short here on earth. I love you with all my heart and you will forever be missed. I will hold on to the memories until the day we can once again catch up. Although it is understood that we all already have a departing time set it doesn't make it any easier. You will be forever loved.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from the pre-digital camera days. However I wanted to share my sorrow at learning of Marcus's passing. I feel terrible that I lost touch with him especially after his stroke. I will always regret not reaching out or visiting but I can't go back in time and want to think of our good times together. Whether it was hanging at my dorm or at Down the Hatch or having him join me in a trip to my brother's pig roast at UMass of just chatting as Marcus served me a drink at an NYU hoops post game cocktail hour, every moment I spent with Marcus made me smile. He was always positive no matter what the circumstances. No matter what type of mood I was in Marcus, by his sheer presence alone, would cheer me up. I know he is out of pain and in a better place but I really wish I had just one more chance to hang out with him. RIP my friend
