Robert Marks Obituary

Robert James Marks, 21, died unexpectedly January 12, 2021 at a San Jose Hospital due to complications resulting from a tragic incident.
He was born on February 24, 1999 in San Jose, CA, the beloved son of James Marks and Stacie Hardin Valdez of Gilroy, CA.
Robert graduated from Christopher High School, class of 2017 and was loved by many of his classmates. He enjoyed playing Football and Lacrosse all 4 years with his number being 56. He loved his job at CalTrain San Jose, where he had been employed since 2018. His hobbies were going to the beach, fishing, working on his truck, bike riding, photography, and most of all, making others laugh.
He is also survived by his twin sister Lindsay Marks, older brother Joshua Valdez, grandparents Robert and Joyce Marks, grandfather Billie Joe Hardin, loved dearly by his girlfriend Kaylani Rivera, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. In addition, he was predeceased by his Granny, Carol Lynn Adams and step-grandmother, Carol Lee Hardin.
There will be no services due to the pandemic, but a celebration of life will take place in Spring.
John 13:7
"Jesus replied, 'You do not understand what I'm doing now, but someday you will."

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Author Unknown

Rest In Peace young man. Loved watching you play LAX and will always remember you going out of your way to say hello to me no matter when you saw me. Not typical for a teenager, shows how respectful you were and how you were raised. You will be missed by many. My sincere condolences to the family.

Robert, where do I start. When I met you almost 4 years ago it was like I had gained a new brother! You took care of me when I was at my lowest, you would talk to me for hours just to make sure I was okay and you would give me those unforgettable bear hugs! There was so much that we had planned that we never got to do, but one day we will! One day we will met again, but until then please watch over all of your family. I love you Robert , please never forget that ❤
