Marcus Jolibois Obituary
1959-2020
On July 11, 2020—Marcus Peter Jolibois, born August 24, 1959 in Tacoma, WA, passed on to the great unknown. Marcus was a dedicated hustler, an accounting savant—and a cornerstone to the Houston Rockets franchise, holding the position of CFO for 25 years. Upon first impression, Marcus was a relatively quiet and reserved guy. But through his conviction and dedication, Marcus built his table: a boundless and expansive table with room for everyone to pull up a chair and join. Anyone who walked into his life would be greeted with a soft friendly smile, offered a seat at his table, and served a fantastic glass of wine and a fish taco.
Marcus lived in service to others—but nothing gave him greater pride or pleasure than being a loving husband to his wife Diane, and proud father to his sons: Andrew, Connor, Scott, and Luke. This deep devotion to family, and spirit of service, was celebrated every Sunday with nine holes of golf and a phenomenal meal together as a family. Marcus is survived by his mother Joyce, and younger brothers: Matthew, Justin, and John. Though Marcus is gone—the table he built, and the love he showed his family can never be compromised or forgotten.

I worked for Marcus for 5 years at the Rockets. He was a great mentor and had a lasting impression on my career. I am where I am today because of Marcus and Im forever grateful! He also never failed to talk about his love, Diane and his 4 boys! Going home to his family was his greatest joy! He also talked about his brothers and parents with great pride! You are all in my thoughts and prayers for this tremendous loss. He was the greatest boss Ive ever had! RIP Marcus!
