My deepest condolences. May God's Holy Spirit be with the family. I pray that he brings comfort to you all at this difficult time.

Jimmy Marks was my supervisor 3 times, 1973-1977, 1980-1982, and 1988-1992. I will miss him.

So saddened to hear of Jim´s passing. We knew the Marks twins at OLMC and reconnected with them years later at St. Bedes. After Johnnie died, I sat with Jim most Sundays at 8:30 Mass. I miss seeing them . Kathy Tobias

So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. Both him & Johnny were ever present as we grew up. My heartfelt condolences to his family & friends. Sharon Pollard Torborg

To a kind and oh so sweet gentle soul that became part of my family for 51years. Many Christmas´s, Thanksgivings, Easters and graduations and many more joyous celebrations. Always interesting, always fun with a great sense of humor. You always took a caring, loving sincere interest in all people you got to know. You will be missed terribly and loved forever by anyone who was lucky enough to have known you and your twin John. Godspeed my friend to the best trip you will ever take and you took...

Thank you from the depths of our hearts for all you were, all you meant to us, and for the very special place you and your family held within the Malarkey, Rudy-Martin family. We've shared so many cherished times together. We will miss you deeply, but never forget you. You are in our hearts FOREVER.

Jimmy and Johnny Marks were the best neighbors when we lived on April Lane in Newport News!

While Judy and I mourn his passing, we celebrate his life! A true southern gentleman and the kindest person we've ever known, he was loved by everyone and he never met a stranger who didn't become a friend. We met in the early 70s when I worked at the bank with Johnnie and, like so many, we became fast friends. The kindness and generosity of the Marks twins will never be forgotten!
