Marcus Glenn Baransky passed away on Friday, March 9, 2012. He was 27 years old.
Marcus was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 22, 1984 to Glenn and Brenda Baransky. As a child, he was a caring older brother as well as a mild mannered and loving son. Setting an example for his younger sibling, Marcus participated in multiple clubs and sports in high school, earning awards in track and field while also working at various places of employment during his junior and senior year. He graduated from William Tennent High School in 2002. Marcus' natural talent for computers and technology solidified him in the role of sound board controller at both his childhood church of Pennridge Full Gospel Tabernacle and in later years at New Life Christian Center.
In 2006 Marcus moved from Southampton, Pa to Orlando, Florida with his sister soon followed by his mother and two other siblings. After a short stint in the Navy boot camp he returned to Florida and worked, assisting his mother in a "jack-of all-trades" field. He was highly esteemed by his employers and his natural talents and abilities were acknowledged and appreciated.
In his last few years Marcus loved spending time with his sister, Leah and his brother-in law. He enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, traveling to Cancun, Mexico, a cruise to Cozumel and the Bahamas and the many nights spent locally or at their home playing pool or darts. Befriended by everyone, his easy-going and fun-loving personality made hanging out with him, time well spent. To know him is to love him and he will be missed.
He is survived by his father Glenn Baransky, his mother Brenda Baransky, his sister Tiffany Russell, his brother Lamont Russell and his sister Leah Baransky and her husband Randy Cisneros.

You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
And bring you home again
R.I.P. Marcus, Forever loved and always missed.
