Stephen Marks

I, too, grew up in Midland with Steve, having played on the same Little League baseball team (Al's Sport Shop) since we were both about 8 years old. He and his girlfriend attended the MHS senior prom with my date and me, and then we became roommates at Michigan State our first year. Much later, both being business owners, I occasionally rented specialized business equipment from his firm via long distance shipping.

I am incredibly sad to hear of Steve's passing. I knew and...

A kind and compassionate neighbor.....

Godspeed, Steve. The kids at Sedona Red Rock HS loved you as did your colleagues. You always had a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eyes.

When Fran and I first came to Morning Sun, Steve was one of the first people we met. He was absolutely one of the nicest, most welcoming person we met. As we traveled back and forth from NY to Sedona, he was one of the first people we went to look for. He knew to call me if he needed a ride or, well, just needed to talk. My heart is heavy that I will not see him at the mailbox or that I can't just decide to knock on his door. We need more people like Steve in our turbulent, upside down world....

Steve and I were lifelong best friends. I was so lucky to have him in my life for all these years. We always gave each other a good jab. Steve could dish it out but he could also take it. We played golf all over Michigan, Florida, Georgia and Arizona for many years. We used to meet in south Florida every winter where his parents both lived and probably played nearly every course in the Palm Beach area. Rest in peace dear friend and thank you for all wonderful memories!

Steve was the very first person that I met in our little Sedona community after we bought our unit in 2012. He was a very friendly and kind man. Whether it was to hike, going out for lunch or just having coffee, it was always a pleasure to see him. My deepest condolences to all of Steve´s family and friends.

Steve Marks and his family lived next door to my family starting in 1959. I knew Steve as an adult when he was teaching math at Dow High School. My parents were friends with Steve's mom and dad. I also knew his brother's and his sister Jill when I was very young. So sorry to read of Steve's passing. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Thanks for being my irreplaceable chili chef at our numerous Super Bowl parties. RIP, Steve...you are missed.

I went to high school with Steve. Even when we were adolescents, Steve was always a class at. I'm glad he got to enjoy the world. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family.
