Marcus was good friends with my Aunt Jean and Uncle Joe. He became a part of our family through them for many years. He always had a smile and a hug for me whenever I saw him. He loved throwing the ball for my retriever Madison whenever he came to my house! He knew and loved a lot of people and would always see someone he knew at a restaurant. He knew any and it seemed all, local ball players and stories about them. An avid Red Sox fan to the end! RIP Marcus, you will be greatly missed.

Uncle Marcus will be missed. He always had a big smile and a story to tell. My boys will always remember him taking them to a Minnesota Twins game in Tampa and they got to be bat boys for the day. He was a fun loving guy. RIP
