My sincere condolences to the family. Marcus and I had a chance to talk a while back. No I didn't preach to him, he preached to me,(WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE) Remembering back on that day, GOD SAID TO ME " EDNA, MAN LOOKS ON THE OUTER BUT I LOOK ON THE HEART". WITH LOVE EDNA/ KITTY

Marcus was a great guy, I got the opportunity to work with him and he always had a smile on his face no matter what he had going on in life. I enjoyed being around him. I can't believe he's gone. He won't be forgotten, may he rest easy now.

Sending my deepest condolences to his family and close friends he was a very nice man if he seen me walking up the street either coming from school or going to the store he would always have a smile on his face and say hello little Carrie belle and I would wave because I knew he couldn't remember my name and he would always tell me to tell everybody he said hello he will truly be missed sending prayers for the family

My Sincere deepest, deepest heartfelt Condolences. I don't know where to start with this, this one HIT HARD!!!!! Marcus was my First Love!!!! I remember him asking my Momma, and Daddy, if, I was allowed to date? OMG!!!!! IT LIT A FUSE IN MY MOMMA!!!!! She watched us like Hawks watching, a prey. My Uncle Butch, I recall, would tell my Momma to give us some privacy. My Momma would sit at the door, with the door opened, looking out the screen door, sitting in a straight chair. So many, many memories. From, first Love, to Husband and wife. We had very difficult times; but, memorable times!!!!! Marcus, Honey; "BO BO", as they called you; rest in Heavenly Peace in the Arms of the Lord, my Sweet Husband, and Friend!!!!! I Love you, until, we meet again; you've gained your wings, give all our dear Loved One's a Hug, for me, and tell them, I Love them, and, when, it's my time to come, I see you, in my heart, Prayer's and the fond memories!!!! Rest in eternal my Friend. I Love you!!!!!
