During his time in the service, while stationed in Hawaii, he learned to surf, which became a loved hobby. He also had a need for speed and adrenaline. Marcus had a heart of gold, if there was someone in need he would be the first to give a lending hand. He was a very caring man and showed his love for others through his actions. Marcus had a smile that could light up any room. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
