MARCUS PRUITT

The Olympia Ski Club is certainly going to miss Marcus - the Marquis de Ski.

Cousin Marcus will be missed. For all the things he did for the community and family. But most of all for Marcus being Marcus.

He was a mentor and most importantly good friend to me. In the short time we were colleagues, he had a great influence to my life both professionally and personally. We had so many great conversations about sports, life, and education. I will miss him. Todd Sliva

Marcus was a crazed sports enthusiast. As long as I can remember he was always talking about baseball, then skiing, then…whatever sport, he was crazy about at that time. He even did Yoga! Baseball and Yoga??? I guess that works?

We enjoyed the views. We finally found Marcus after knocking on doors (everyone seemed to know everyone). Even though we...

Marcus was a dear colleague who listened and solved problems one step at a time. Marcus was approachable and kind. A true team player.

Marcus was a very kind and quiet man that always brought us the Sunday news. Les and Bonnie Hodgkiss OSC

I have enjoyed teaching and skiing with Marcus for the past 12 years. Marcus brought optimism and enthusiasm to everything he did and I will miss that. He was a good friend! Thank you!

A Wonderful man and Educator, who will truly be missed.
