Reeves Family: My deepest condolences on your loss. Marc and I were roommates @ SPSU and worked together at GA Land back in the mid 1980's. We had sporatic contact over the years, but he always made a point to look me up. The Marc I knew was kind and really enjoyed outdoor adventure. I will cherish the memories of the good times we had. He would always make you laugh and smile. Rest in peace my friend.

Reeves family: you have my heartfound condolences for you loss. Marc and I were college roommates @ SPSU back in the mid 80's and also worked together @ GA Land. I've had limited contact with him since those days, but we always seemed to talk every few years. I want all of you to know that the Marc I knew was one of a kind, and one heck of a fellow. His love of the outdoors was tremendous. I will cherish the memory of our time together. Rest in peace my friend.
