This Jump Master will be missed by all that he touched thru his career in the Army, especially while serving in the 82nd Airborne Division! I am Proud to say that I served with Marc and he was my Friend!! I will miss him and all the great times we had together, including talking to him on the phone! The sadness I have is only helped by knowing that Marc is no longer suffering and is giving directions to all the Angels in Heaven on how to be a good Paratrooper!! RIP Jump Master... We Love You!!
Hooah!!

There are no words to express the sadness we are feeling. Marc was with us from the beginning. He was in our wedding and from then on we lived together, laughed together, partied together and went to war together and more importantly we came back together. Jake will be forever missed! R.I.P Brother!
