To Marcus' Family,
I only knew Marcus from First Shiloh Baptist Church, while he was in the Youth Department with my kids. I was shocked at his passing and so were Corey and Cameron. My prayer is that God will comfort you all during this time. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Marcus.

My life has truly been blessed with Marcus and his love in God and he was truly a great friend to have. He always knew what to say and what verse in the Bible would make you smile. He will truly be blessed.

Marcus....I only met you three weeks ago, when you joined our church (Mt. Pleasant Evangelistic Church) and choir, but you were such a blessing to be around. William and I miss you already. The choir misses you---but we know you are singing in the Heavenly Choir right now. Rest in Peace my friend...:)

To the family. Marcus was a fine young man. Our entire family was fond of him and knew him well from his time in Mechanicsville. We are deeply saddened and shall be in prayer for him and for you. When the young are lost to us it is especially hard. But in time, we hope your memories of Marcus bring you some measure of comfort.
