We never had the pleasure of meeting Marc but our son, Matthew, shared tonight some of his fondest memories of Marc and some good times they had at Babson. Matt was a sophomore when Marc was a senior and they played rugby together.

We would like to extend to you our deepest heartfelt sympathy. May your wonderful memories of Marc help to get you through this very difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies to the Casellas. Marc and I went to elementary school at St. Stephens in Hamden, CT. All of us were like family. We grew up together. I think of Marc every year on my birthday because we are two days apart. Even in second grade Marc's smile could light up the whole room. He will be missed. God bless.

While I did not know Marc very well, I was privileged to have played intramural soccer with him on a number of occasions while at Babson. I will never forget how strong and passionate he was on the field. Always very positive and energetic. He never quit when going after a ball and I assume he approached all aspects of life with the same go-getter attitude.

I just want you all to know that I am just another one of the many who will never forget his bright smile and positivity. As I continue to forge ahead with my own small enterprise, Marc will always remain a strong source of inspiration for me. Marc reminds me that it’s important to enjoy life, take risks, be positive, and to live every day to the fullest.

May he rest in peace and may each of you know that hundreds of his friends are thinking about the great memories we shared with him, how he influenced us, and most importantly, how he will live on in each of us forever.

Holding you and Marc in my thoughts and prayers.

We knew Marc through our son, Matthew, who was Marc's soccer teammate at Babson College. In the time I knew Marc, he was always a friendly, polite, caring young man. Matthew, as well as my husband and I are deeply saddened by this tragic loss. Our deepest sympathies go out to Marc's family. We hope you take solace in knowing what a wonderful young man he was and how deeply he touched the hearts of all around him. Rest in peace Marc. You will be forever remembered in our hearts.

With deepest sympathy, The Hart Family

Marc Casella. Where do I start? We were roommates freshman year at Babson. Played soccer together. Stayed good friends over the years. You went through life with an aggressive approach and caring attitude. I love the kid. I always laughed around him. He put a smile on my face every time. Even in the presence of this horrific accident, I can't help but smile with my tears when thinking of how great of a positive impact he had on me as a friend. I love you Marc. You still are a great person in my heart and will remain there forever. Rest In Peace buddy...Cheers.

We met Marc when we moved our daughter,Katelyn, into her dorm room at Babson College. Marc was Katelyn's RA. He was a great help to our daughter as she adjusted to life as a freshman. He would listen to any of her concerns and would advise her accordingly. He always offered a kind word and gave constructive guidance. He will be remembered fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
