I know that Marcus was very special to our entire family. We all love him so much. The last time we saw him, he brightened up the whole room. What a smile. We all LOVE him and will miss him. I know this pain may seem unbearable and we feel that we can not go on. But we are a strong family and together we will make it through. God will strenthen us day by day. We will have good days and bad days, but our love for one another we make us strong. We will miss him, but we know he is in a better place and he is watching over all of us. Take heart family, God needed Marcus to come home to watch over us. He will live always in our hearts and in our memories. God Bless the Radford family. Keep Marcus in your hearts. We all love him, but God loved him best. I will continue to pray for the Radford's and for all our family . To Tara and the boys, you have my prayer, always.

I can't even think where to start. Marcus will be sorely missed by so many people. He was truly turning into a great young man. He was an inspiration to all three of his younger brothers. Life is so confusing when things like this happen. Tara, Anthony, Aaron, and Jake I am so sorry that your brother, son, and friend is gone. I love you and miss you all very much. Know that I am there beside you in spirit and I will see you all soon.
