Wallace MARCUM Obituary

MARCUM, Wallace B. Age 47, our beloved "Wally" left us unexpectedly on Monday, July 13, 2020. Wally was born in Dayton, OH, on March 1, 1973, to Barry and Karen Marcum. He was a graduate of West Carrollton High School class of 1991. He is preceded in death by both his maternal and paternal grandparents; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and his beloved dog, Rufus. Wally loved to skateboard, surf, kayak and fish. His favorite place to be was in the ocean or on the beach. He loved his tattoos and had many oceanic creatures including a full-sleeve underwater scene. He was able to quickly learn anything he put his mind to including drawing, landscaping, and playing the guitar. Wally leaves behind his mother and father; his only son, Rob; his loving sister, Lakeesha (Greg) Gueltig, and niece Lindsey Gueltig. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. You are with us in our memories and the good times that we have shared. You are loved and missed more than words can say. Private services. Arrangements Sanner Funeral Home, West Carrollton.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Talked to Wally a couple of months ago on the phone, we talked until my phone died. We go back more than 30 years. He always made me laugh harder than anyone else could. I love Wally and will miss him forever.
