I was just in Arizona visiting and drove by the Point Resort at South Mountain were I meet Macy for the last time in the Spring of 2013. His Niece played with my children in the pool, he was so happy to see us and I to see him! We visited for a long while and talked about all the good times we had growing up in Scottsdale. We both really enjoyed playing basketball and Mace had a sweet finger roll and jump shot. I think about him often and miss his smile and love of live. Sure he is up in heaven making God and all the Angels SMILE. You left us way to soon my friend R.I.P!
My condolences to Mark, Michael & the rest of the DeSantis family.

I grew up in Scottsdale with Macy during High School. He was a great friend and a very kind person. We played lots of Basketball together then. Macy was a very good player and a great athlete! I was fortunate enough to see Macy again at Point Tapetio Cliffs Resort in the Spring of 2011. He brought his Nieces and the played with my kids in the pool. We caught up on things and had a great time. He seemed to be very happy being an Uncle to the girls and also at peace with himself. My condolences go out to the Desantis family, he will be missed! God Bless Macy.

Macy was a very good friend we spent lots of time playing basketball together in Scottsdale growing up. He was an athlete as well as a kind warm person who cared about himself and other people. I was lucky enough to reconnect with Mace and his Nieces at the South Mountain Resort in the Spring of 2011. Seeing him then reminded me of what a great person he was! My condolences to the Desantis family. Mark Lampe

So sorry to hear of the loss of Macy- we had been good friends growing up in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia. I just spoke with Macy a few days prior to Christmas and visited with him in Phoenix a couple of years ago. His friends will miss him. God Bless.
