I taught both Marc and Phoenix how to play chess when both were about age 7. They ended up playing each other twenty years later. I was happy to give Marc the marble chess set he learned to play on. And even more pleased to learn that it had become one of his prized possessions. Marc was very generous in return. Giving me possessions I know meant a great deal to him personally. Marc was a very loving, sensitive and gentle human being. Touching so many people. I am so sorry that such a valuable life has ended prematurely. My prayers go out to all. I love you, Marc.

Marc was the first kid I met in high school. I came into town from Hollywood and didn't know anyone. I sat down in photography class, first period, and that's where i met my best friend through high school. We skated together, got to know each other, got jobs together at a movie theater. I taught him how to play the guitar and after only a couple months he surpassed everything I had learned over four years. That's just how he was, brilliant at everything, so smart, capable, and talented. We ended being in a punk band that was well received, and he played bass guitar in the most popular band in school. Marc branched off into the most amazing things, and I was always so proud of the career he led, the music he wrote, and the friend he was. He affectionately called me Duffy and people still do fourteen years later. He will always be a part of my life.

Marc was the kindest most accepting person you could only hope to be. He was crazy funny and always there for anyone in a crunch. There are so many pictures that show that classic smile. My thoughts and prays are with his family and close friends. I knew Marc through school and out of school. He is missed and I know most of south Florida stands quiet in memories. We all love you so very much Marc.

Marc was an amazing person. He was my first bass player in my first band and he was a dear friend of mine. To Marc's family, I am sorry for your loss. He will forever be remembered, missed, and loved. I appreciate his service to our country and I feel honored and lucky to have had him as a friend. I am so sorry he is no longer with us.

Marc, you live on in memory, spirit and the sweet sounds of music.
Rest in peace Marc..

Marc was a true friend and his passing is a loss to everyone he encountered. He was so intelligent, vivacious, and full of life. Without fail, Marc was always contributing to the team, and giving of himself. Whenever there was a task to be accomplished or work needed to be done, Marc was the first to lift a hand with a smile and his quick wit. I have often bragged that Marc had the personality that I want from teammates and I try to duplicate myself.
See you on the high ground Buddy, you are missed.

I knew Marc from High School. He brought joy, life and laughter to everyone around him. Marc was extremely talented in many ways and was a dear friend. Marc, you will never be forgotten and a piece of you will live on forever in all of us. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family, his wife and his close loved ones.

Dear Barrie and Lynn and the Lerner Family,
On behalf of the everyone at JAFCO we are so very sorry for your loss. We were shocked and saddened to learn of Marc's passing and cannot even begin to imagine the enormity of your grief. Even as a child Marc had a special quality that touched everyone who was lucky enough to meet him. We would like to dedicate a brick at the JAFCO Children's Village to Marc to allow his spirit to live on forever and watch over abused and neglected children in our community. Marc always showed compassion to the hundreds of children who were protected in the Lerner home during the years that they served as a foster family in our community. It was so fitting for Marc to follow the example of service provided to him by his parents and proudly serve our country. There is no way to make sense of his untimely death but each of us can make a commitment today in loving memory of Marc to do our part to be of service to those in need.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With deepest sympathy,
Sarah Franco, executive director
Wendy , clinical director

Marc and I were high school sweethearts. We were eachothers first love, we shared alot of firsts. We grew together, laughed alot, held each other in times of sorrow, and shared memories that will last my entire life. Words cannot express my sorrow for his parents, wife, and siblings..and for the world. We lost an extraordinary human being. I love you, Marc.

I knew Marc from high school and remember him as a high achiever; I never knew he went into the military. I serve our country as a federal officer in the federal government and through my work, I will be sure to acknowledge Marc's life and the courage he had on his tours of duty. May G-d bless you and your family.

Marc was one of my best friends, band mate, co worker, hair dye specialist, leftovers eater, world greatest rapper, and above all one of the best people I have or will ever know. Both his wife and family are in my thoughts. Marc was lucky to have such amazing people in his life, and we were lucky to have him in ours, even if it was cut short. I'm going to miss you buddy.

We had the joy knowing Marc when his wife Michelle were our neighbors in Atlanta. He was such a wonderful person and we so enjoyed spending time with him and Michelle. We miss wondering what Marc was going to grow in their garden each year...sun flowers and even pumpkins. We are so saddened to hear that he passed away. Dan and I are sending much love and many prayers to the entire family.
