Marc, my dear nephew, was a bright light in many people's lives. I miss him greatly, though I got to see him seldom. He saved my son's life at the river, and I am devastated that he has now lost his. He lives on in each of us now - his parents, his sisters, his friends, his extended family. He will always live in our hearts. RIP Marc.

John & Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will always cherish the fond memories we shared both on and off the rivers and ocean, fishing together in Alaska. Marc will be greatly missed.

I knew Marc in high school and remember him fondly. He was always kind to everyone, with an infectious smile and a welcoming personality. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone and he will always be remembered as a warm hearted individual who had a smile for anyone who crossed his path.

I remember Marc and smile. He had such an amazing charisma about him. I have played the piano since I was six years old. I mainly play classical music, and haven't been able to cross over into the blues/jazz aspect. I once taught Marc a few basics and a couple of chords, and then I watched him take flight. His jazz/blues capacity was astounding to me. He was an incredible musician and friend. He is missed dearly. I'll see you again someday Marc. My heart and prayers go out to his family.

Marc was a very gifted person. He was a wonderful musician and an even better friend. I last saw him at Monika's wedding. He will be greatly missed. Liebig's, I am so sorry for your loss. I will go back through my old photos (many of them) and look for Marc. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to contact me. [email protected] or 830-1730.
I hope to make it to the memorial, but am in Seldovia right now. If I don't make it, I am there in spirit.
Love you all,
