Marcus will be remembered for his sweet smile and shyness Im heartbroken to know you are gone love you Marcus thanks for being apart of our family
Praying for you family to get through all this with Gods peace guiding you in every step my Jesus give you peace as you journey through your loss love you
Fly high Marcus, and rest easy. I can only imagine how beautiful your wings are when you get there give grandma and grandpa a hug and let them know that we’re all OK. You will be missed by everyone for the rest of our lives and forever remembered I have so many memories from growing up with you. My heart is broken now, but I know you’re in a better place. No one prepares you to lose a cousin or any family member for that matter but again we will all be OK. I love you Marcus. Rest easy and try not to cause too much trouble up there.
I’ve known Marcus for several years and Tracie he was very nice and kindhearted I didn’t get to meet him in person but over facebook and TikTok wish I could’ve met him in person. Until we meet brother I love you and will miss you tremendously.
Rest well Cousin 🙏 You will be missed!
My condolences to you all😞
With all my love and prayers,
Kollene

Wow Marcus I am so heartbroken that you left us. I will miss that shy smile and how you were such a grizzly bear but gave the most gentle hugs. I loved that you were a country boy with the biggest heart. There are so many words to describe you but not enough room on this to list them all. You will be missed and ( by the way take care the piece of My heart that broke and went with you for one day I will come to get it ). Love you sweet boy til we meet again. Love from your Aunt Janet

I was shocked to hear that you were gone. You will be greatly missed by everyone who knew you and loved you.
Marcus was a great guy. I worked with him at Walmart. He worked nights and I work days but I would see him whenever He was leaving in the mornings. And we would talk a little bit. Sorry to hear of your loss Jesse Moore and Patty Hudson ( cousins )and the rest of the family. He will be missed .May God comfort and keep you always .Brad #144
