Marc Alan Luyben

1967 - 2024

Marc Alan Luyben, born on May 16, 1967, was a devoted husband, father, son, brother and friend. His unexpected passing at age 56 leaves a void in the hearts of many. He is survived by his wife, Rachel; his daughters, Jessica, Alison, and Emma; his son-in-law Spencer and grandson, Parker; his mother, Jane; his sister, Stacey, and his brother, Jeff. He is predeceased by his father, David.

Family was the cornerstone of Marc's life. He and Rachel would have celebrated their 25th anniversary of marriage in May. They were in the process of designing and building their dream home together, where they hoped to enjoy many years surrounded by loved ones. Marc dedicated his professional life to the HVAC industry and planned to retire soon.

Marc treasured his time with his youngest daughter, Emma, sharing in her passion for horses. He pampered his middle daughter, Alison, who has special needs, with pedicures and dance sessions. He was a loving grandfather to Parker, his daughter Jessica’s son. He was a solid, steadfast presence, always available to offer wisdom or a helping hand.

Marc's support extended to his mother, Jane, for whom he was the ultimate handyman. He could often be found mowing the lawn with surgical precision and cooking gourmet meals in the kitchen, sometimes with bass or trout he had caught himself. An avid outdoorsman, Marc connected with nature by hunting, fishing, and quietly beating almost everyone on the golf course.

Marc Alan Luyben leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and warmth. A celebration of Marc’s life will be held on a future date.
