You are always going to be a constant reminder of perfection. I remember arriving in FT. Hood, TX in September of 1998. You were our 1SGT's driver. 1SGT Collquit, and the first thing I noticed was the tires on tops hummv were shiny like for real car detailed shiny lol...You were a SPC 4 at that time, but took pride in driving tops hummv. You literally used Armour All on his vehicle everyday. I asked you why shortly after arriving in 1/7 CAV Garry Owen, you smiled and said, I want top and me to always look good when we are riding anywhere. Thank you for always being who you were and always setting the bar high. Love you my friend always...SSG Meeder

No time passes especially this time of year when I think of the first day in Germany when we arrived or the talk we had as I left for R&R that we never finished. You taught me a lot and I will never forget that.

Marquees, it feels strange paying homage to you on memorial day. I just found out all of this on Armed Forces Day. I was crushed! Actually had just had you on my mind wondering if Kwik Computers had ever taken off. I miss you and just want to say thank you for serving our country.

My Cousin Marquees was a great guy his memory lives on. It was a nice memorial on Nancy Grace in honor of Marquees. He is sorely missed.

My baby cousin, I feel so blessed that I was able to spend our childhood together. You were always a hero at heart. I think about you all the time. I think about all the fun times we had together us and the family. I wouldn't trade it in for the world. You will always be a special person to me. I love you so much, and cant wait for the day to see u again.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Marquees, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Quick,
My heart sank when I heard the news. Reminicing on the days in high school, I never would have thought I would not be able to see you again. I miss you now and I will miss you forever.

August 8, 2007
There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

There are really no words to express my sorrow for your loss. My childhood memories are filled with afternoons of riding bikes and getting into trouble with Marquees and all of our neighborhood friends. Always a gentleman, a good friend and a wonderful big brother. I can only imagine how much he is missed. We are forever changed because of having Marquees in our lives, and I thank God for the opportunity. I know that God is so very proud of His soldier and that you will continue to serve in His kingdom. God bless you all.

May your family rest in the assurance that you are in a better place and serving in God's Army.
Love,

Marq you are a true hero and a great leader of men! You were my best friend and my brother. I will never forget how everyday you would come in my tent and yell MEJIA. I can still hear you scream.you were my brother in life, my brother in arms, and my brother in death. To Alisha and the rest of the Quick Family, It was an honor to have known such a great man. My condolences go out to you. Heaven has got their angel back.I will see you again at Fiddlers Green.

To The Family of Sgt. Marquees A. Quick:
Words can never ease the loss of a loved one, but time and the thought of Sgt. Quick's ultimate sacrifice and service to his country will make a difference in many lives.
I offer this thought of comfort to the wife, father, mother, brothers, sisters and extended family members: "Often we go through lifes crossroads, and view what we think is the end. But God has a much bigger vision, and He tells us it's only a bend".

Marquees was like that son I never had. I knew him since 1994 when him and my daughter was dating. He always had a smile on his face. The last time I saw him was in 2003, when he came to visit me before I moved. The first thing he always said to me with a smile on his face was "Hey, Mama Dot...Do you have that Blackberry Cobbler ready"? I would just laugh. He was really a joy to be around. The world has lost a true hero. I will always love him for everything he did for me and my family. Marquees, I will always be your mama Dot.

I will always remember SGT Quick's infectious smile and sharp wit. You couldn't be around him without knowing that he was doing something that he truly loved. I can't think about him without smiling because I see his face and I remember how he was. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Family: My heart hurts at the loss of Marq. I'm still in disbelief. He was always so nice and polite. I sincerely thought of him as a nephew. I'll miss talking to him whenever he called to check on his Dad. May the Lord continue to comfort his wife, parents, brothers, and other family members. He died doing what he loved.

I knew Sgt Quick for a short time before I left Germany. I was impressed with him. He was a fine soldier, his loss will be felt.
Having lost my brother in Afghanistan in NOV the only advice I can give Sgt Quick's family is to always remember his sacrifice was not in vain and that he gave his life in a brave and noble deed.
September 1, 2006
To the Family of Sgt. Marquees A. Quick:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.
