Hey Marc,
I know that your watching over evrybody here and getting everthing ready for when we come home. You are missed and thought about each and everday. I was out at TMS last weekend and thought of you when i saw all the aluminum cans on the camp grounds the next morning, we picked up 12, 55 gallon bags full of them. All that money on the ground was what you used to say. Love you buddy and miss you, Your friend and brother, Rider

My Dear Sweet Son,
Marc, your family misses you so very much. It is so hard to accept you being gone. I will never forget your shinning eyes and face when you told me you were ready to take that journey. I know God had a special job for you in heaven and I know we will all see you when God calls us home. Say hello to your little sister and your grandmother for me. Marc, you will be in my heart forever.
Love you,
Mom

Dear Chris, Rita & Ralph,
I am so glad I had the last 6yrs to get to Know Marc & Love him. He was inspiring to say the least. He was my best friend & the love of my life. I will miss him every second for the rest of my life. I am so sorry, Chris, Rita & Ralph for your huge loss. Christopher you were absolutely the light in his life, along with your grand parents.
He lived everyday with you all at the front of every thought,and breath he took. Chris he was and will always be so proud of you, and the man your becoming. He loved that sweet little cheeked face of yours. You picked SRVaughn for one of the his fav songs "Life by the drop", loved that Stevie Ray was perfect. I was tickled how well you really knew your dad, your were so close. He was a wonderful father & friend. I know he is happy and resting. To the "Vargas'" he was tickled to have actually become an adopted member of your family, he loved you all, as do I. I know Rob & Marc were happy to see each other & once again be neighbors, he was so sad when we lost him. Thank you to everyone else, you have all been so loving & helpful to his family and myself. I hope to see you all in the future. Sincerely,
Barbara Ann (Babbie)
