It was a blessing to have met you and watch my babies Nae and Z grown up with you. Nae was just 5 years old! Now to see the twins flourish and love their dad so much, it's priceless. May you Rest In Peace and continue to watch over your babies! Sleep easy Bama.

Me and you always argue over which beer taste better ..Heineken or CORONA..rest now my bro ...it was fun

We love you Bama I will never let your godson Forget you

Marc, you will truly be missed! This seems so surreal. I would never forget our first encounter, you holding up McDonald's drive-thru (with your southern accent) for a simple request. You were determined and persistent of your request which paid off years later. I'm grateful for the many chats we had about life, your goals, and the boys. You weren't just a brother-n-law but a true brother and friend. May you sleep in peace. ~Moretha and Family

Let me hold something.... Bama, rest easy my boy, heaven gained a real one.... Trav Canady

There are some people you cross path with in life and instantly think, "he's family". Our first encounter he walked straight up to me and said, "Aunt Val let me help you with that" as he reached to try to take the content from my hand. Poor thing, learned real quick don't take until it is offered. Marcus was not phased one bit, he said "I have heard a lot about you Aunt Val nice to finally meet you", still insisting to carry my load. Marcus was good people, his love ran deep for his family. He would go out of his way to lighten your load.

As hard as it is to make sense of this, I know the Father has received Marcus unto Himself.

He lived, he loved and he laughed! Rest In Peace Marcus! ~ Lewis Family 886B
