I've been sitting at my desk, staring at my computer screen for 20 minutes and could not find any words of wisdom. Being a person with always something to say i find it hard right now. I would just like to let EVERYONE know Marc was a special kind person, one of the goodies, an old soul and i am sure that so many of us around the globe will never forget his name.
My sympathies go out to every one who knew him, especially his family. He will be terribly missed.

What I want to day, has allready been said by everyone else. But it bears being said again. Marc was a great guy who was allways very tough competition for the ladies. Everyone loved his zest for life, having a good time and his ability to play music. What happened was unfair and, and the world is worse of without him. My prayers are forever with his family and him. And remembering how we spent that week in Sweden where him and Tim perfected the "feather" move down the hill will allways remain in my memory.

Dear Pat and Carlos,
We miss seeing your family around the HSG and Volga in Moscow. Both of you are full of life and it rubs off those around you. After learning more about Marc’s life over the past week, he must have shared this passion for a full life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My Dear Carlos and Pat,
I was in the process of leaving town when I found out about the tragic news of the loss of your son.
I am so very sorry that the evil in this world has to affect your family in such a way. I cannot imagine the pain and grief that has been placed upon your family. I can only say that my prayers and thoughts are with you, and I know the loving God who created us is placing you within his arms and will provide peace and comfort as time goes on. I hope, too, that you will call upon me; if there's anything I can do for you, Carlos, please let me know.

Though he may not remember me if we exchanged words today, he will be missed. I looked up to him throughout ninth grade, and only wish I could have gotten to know him better.

Death is never something we really think about happening is it? Loved ones are always in our hearts and thoughts regardless of where they are, even if we don't hear from them that often. Marc is still here, his spirit travels with us all, we're just not going to hear from him for a while, but we all will someday...I pray that the pain we all feel now will soon be replaced by the memories of the good times we had with him...

My prayers and the prayers of my church are with the entire family, and I pray that God gives you the strength you need to cope with your loss. Let all the wonderful memories that you have of Marc be your focus, and may they replace each heartache you encounter with comfort and joy.

Carlos & Family,
Our hearts and prayers go out to you over the tragic loss of Marc. As said above, his presence will continue as he gives life to others, how he touched so many in such a short time, and in helping us feel even deeper to the very soul of existance the remarkable gift of our children. So much of what you are going through is personal, but as friends and parents we share in your grief .

Dearest Carlos, Pat, and Eric,
We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Marc. In the years we spent together in Moscow, I grew to admire the relationship you all had with each other. I hoped that Kai would grow up to be half the man that Marc was, and that I could follow your example of how to parent. Marc always had a smile, was polite, genuine, kind, and always took a few extra minutes to let Kai pet Max, or to talk soccer with Ergin. He touched so many lives. You should take comfort in knowing that you did a fantastic job in raising him, that he knew he was loved, that he loved you all deeply, and that he lived more in his 19 quality years than most of us will live in a lifetime.
With love and our deepest sympathy,
Donna & Kai

No words can ease the pain or loss you are feeling. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our lives touched for a brief time in Moscow...on the soccer field with Marc as team-member and Carlos as coach, Pat and I serving lunch at the "Embassy campus" and swapping stories and worries of "life with children in Moscow". Take strength from the belief that in his short life Marc touched so many people in such a positive way...With sadness, Janelle, Dick and David Ranken

It was an honor to get to know Marc when we all lived in Moscow. With all of the craziness that you hear about with the youth of today, it was easy to see that Marc wasn't affected. He was a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. It was a treat to spend time with him. My heart goes out to Carlos, Pat, Eric and the rest of his family and friends. This bright star was extinguished far too soon.

Carlos,Patricia, and Eric -
Hold fast to your memories to all the cherished moments of the past, to the blessings and the laughter, the joys and celebrations, the sorrow and the tears. They all add to a treasure of fond yesterdays that you shared and spent together, and they keep Marc close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories in your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart,
today and forevermore.
My thoughts and special prayers are with you.

Marc,
Words cannot express the anguish but we are left with beautiful memories of you with your charming smile, enthusiasm and joy of life.
The 'real' Texan cowboy hat, the importance of listerine, your unforgettable CAS song, the secret at graduation - how you made me laugh and everyone else around you.
Carlos, Pat and Eric, you raised a wonderful boy who will always remain in our hearts. My deepest condolences to you.

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet Marc personally, but I feel as if I have known him for years as Patty and I shared numerous, similar stories about our children and our love and concern for them as we worked together for Lancome. Marc's senseless death is and will continue to be a reminder of how close unexpected tragedies really are to home. I remember someone once telling me that GOD picked his children to be with him as we would pick the brightest and most beautiful flower from a pasture. May your faith in GOD and family be with you now and with the families who will be blessed with his generosity and gift of life. And to my friend, Patty....your "spirit" and your "heart" will be with you always.

DEAREST PATTI, CARLOS, AND ERIC,
WE HAVE SHARED SO MUCH OVER THE PAST
26 YEARS. I WAS HONORED TO BE IN YOUR WEDDING. WE WERE THERE FOR THE
BIRTH OF EACH OTHERS BOYS, THE SPECIAL BIRTHDAYS AND HOLIDAYS, AND
WE EVEN BROUGHT IN THE NEW MILLENIUM
TOGETHER. NOW MORE THAN EVER WE
CHERISH THOSE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES AND
EVEN THOUGH LAYING YOUR SWEET MARC
TO REST WAS THE SADDEST EXPERIENCE
OF ALL OF OUR LIVES, IT WAS RIGHT
THAT WE SHOULD BE THERE TOGETHER.
WE ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN FRIENDS,
WE ARE FAMILY IN THE TRUE SENSE OF
THE WORD. EVEN IN THE MIDST OF
OUR GRIEF, WHEN WE THINK OF THIS
WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN, AND HIS
CAPTIVATING SMILE, WE CAN'T HELP
BUT FEEL BLESSED FOR HAVING KNOWN
HIM. SO MY DEAR FRIENDS, WE WILL HOLD TIGHT TO EACH OTHER AND BE WARMED BY THE BEAUTIFUL LIGHT THAT SHINES EVER-SO BRIGHTLY WHICH IS THE ESSENCE OF MARC. ALL OF OUR
LOVE... SANDI, DAVID, MICHELLE,
AND GARRETT, OUR PARENTS AND BROTHERS..

I cannot find words to say, i cannot express how sorry i am, no words will ever be enough. To wake up everyday and think that it was only a nightmare.
You were blessed with a beautiful son and brother, as we were with a friend. He was taken away much too soon. Please know Marc was much loved and will be missed forever, especially by those that never even had a chance to meet him.

July 9, 2002
My prayers are with the Fontanot family, that they may know that Marc is not gone. He is watching over us all, and continues to be in our hearts, minds, and words. I was new to Moscow senior year, and one of my most vivid memories is Marc smiling at me during study hall and taking the initiative to make me feel welcomed. I've never forgotten that. I wished for so long that I could have told him how much his kindness meant to me. He knows now. Marc, thank you for being a part of my life.
Kari Winger Karlsen

Marc's passing came as a shock to me. He was so full of life...
Him being taken away from us is unbelivable. Words can't express the pain inside my heart.
During the two years I lived in Moscow, Marc was a good friend. He will be deeply missed.
Pat, Carlos and Eric my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Debbie Sharp
July 9, 2002
I am so very sorry to hear of Marc's passing. I only met him once, but during that short visit, I could tell he was a nice young man that would make any parent proud. After reading all the entries about Marc, you must be even more proud that he touched so many lives in a positive way. May you seek comfort during this difficult time knowing that Marc's spirit lives on in Heaven with relatives that have gone before him and that his earthly body has gone on to help so many people in need. May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Carlos and Pat,
My heart and prayers go out to you! Marc is a tribute to you, look at all the lives he has touched in so a short time. I am pleased to say that he touched my life and the lives of my family. Some people tread lightly through life, and leave little behind. Marc always left something behind, a friendly smile or a kind word, a real genuineness.
We will miss you, Marc.

Since the first time I met you when our brothers were playing soccer together, and through High School and even at soccer practice (with Steve) we were friends. Everyone will miss you so much, I love you and God Bless. My prayers are with you Pat, Carlos and Eric.

Marc, what sweet memories I have of you, our son Steven, and the rest of the 5th grade class at Christian School of Kingwood. How fun it was being a chaperone with 'you all' and what great times we had on the Big field trip to Mesa Verde. You were such a trooper and always managed to carry that beautiful smile that made all of us comfortable and full of cheer, even during the rocky moments on that little bitty private plane, when we all had to take dramamine and try to keep our eyes closed until landing! You had a hurt leg, I think from a soccer game injury, but the pain didn't stop you from making the trip, for helping to make a beautiful memory! Remember how Steven's dad wheeled you around all over the airport? I remember your making a cute comment about it. You hobbled on one foot until we could find you that chair to sit in, and you even did that with a big Smile! Marc, what a sweetness poured out from your spirit! I don't know why you were taken away so young and it's such a deep down loss feeling even for those of us who knew you a short while. The impact you made on our lives was a blessing to each one of us! Thank you Marc, for all those sunny days you shared. Thank you for those smiles, for all the laughter, for touching our hearts and bringing us joy with your caring presence. We love you! June, Larry, & Steven Kyte

It is so hard to understand such a reckless act of violence. Marc had worked so hard to succeed in Moscow. He was the kind of student that we were so proud of. Like the rest of the class of 2001, he came through in the end and did well. As a parent, my heart goes out to Pat and Carlos. I can only hope that they are receiving the kind of support they need at this most difficult time. While I only met Eric at graduation, I can only imagine his grief at losing his younger brother. May we all continue to struggle with this tragic event and eventually find something constructive to take us forward. I am sure Marc would want it that way.

It is with deep sympathy for the whole family and Marc's friends that I add my thoughts here. Marc's sudden death shocks us all and the senselessness depresses many of us. There are so many questions that are hopping about, but mostly why? Dear Pat and Carlos, Please know we are thinking of you. Lillian.

I met Marc once when I came to visit with Dan. I remember how Marc made me pet the dog that kept barking at me and he held his mouth so he wouldn't bite me. He was so nice. I wish I had gotten the chance to know him better.

Carlos and Pat,
Although I never met Marc, I have heard you talk about what a wonderful son he was many times. Just because I know you and how earnestly involved you were in his life, I know that he must have been a loving, intelligent, witty and adventurous spirit.
As you come to grips with this tragedy, I know you will focus on a celebration of his life and his contributions to this world, which will live on long after his departure. Draw strength from his love and those close to you now, and carry on ... for him.

Marc....singing Jimmy Buffett songs together in homeroom, watching him on stage at graduation, and just kicking back at parties...What always struck me about Marc was how personable he was...people just naturally liked to be around him....I liked to be around him. He was laid back. He had a great smile. He was wonderfully creative. He will always be a part of us. To Marc's Family, my deepest sorrow and empathy goes to you. You raised a wonderful man and it is a travesty that he was taken from you and the world so early.

Carlos,
I only knew Marc as a reflection in the eyes of a proud and dedicated father. All of the impressive things that I have learned about him over the last few days have been just what I would expect in a son of yours. Although Marc can never be replaced, he can neither ever be completely lost. As you make a new place for him in your lives, my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
Kim Nahas-Grosso

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Marc's spirit and love lives on in your memories and in the lives you'll help save. What a beautiful gesture and loving tribute for such a brilliant life. His life was a gift that will be shared by others and his light will continue to shine.
My deepest sympathy for your loss,
Kim

Carlos and Pat, I am deeply saddened by the loss, both for you and for those whose lives he touched. May God bless his soul and grant you peace.
I only spoke with Marc a few times, but my impression was that he possessed a good spirit and had experienced a well-lived life. I pray that part of that spirit will remain in those who loved him and continue to enrich their lives.

I met Marc only briefly during my stays in Moscow. I could tell, though, how much he loved life and his family - and how much they love him.
A life lived so fully should be encouragement to others to do the same.
My deepest condolences to the Fontanot family.
Alexis Lubensky

Marc and I had plans for childish freedom and existence...the laughs, the knowing smiles, secret winks in times of "seriousness"...we shared an understanding. Red begonias and music, the future was never doubted. Words cannot relieve the pain. Mr. and Mrs. Fontanot, I send my love.
Hannah and Nick Finch
July 8, 2002
Like so many in Moscow we were both honoured to have known Marc. He was a respected and admired soccer team mate and a much loved friend. Marc will be sadly missed by all those who knew him. Our thoughts and love are with the Fontanot family and all of Marcs friends.

This young man has been taken by a dreadful and senseless act of violence. All the young people of the Anglo-American School community are shaken by his death. Who can forget the vibrant and exhuberant music he and Magnus performed at the graduation ceremony of the Class of 2001, just one year ago. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his parents and brother, and his other family members and friends who will always miss him. May God bless Marc.

Marc,
We were so blessed to have you as a part of our family. I always called you my "son" and loved you from the minute you and Blake met when you were two. Your beautiful heart and smile will stay with us always, and we will remember all the wonderful times we had with you.Your joy of live and your glorious spirit was a gift. Your friendship and love for Blake will stay with all of us forever. Blake is heartbroken right now and can't write. The pain is so raw all he can do right now is cry over the lose of his "brother". Many memories flood my heart but one that stands out so clearly happened a few months ago. Marc had spent the night and I woke hearing he and Blake singing at the top of their lungs a song they loved from a movie when they were children,while fixing breakfast. Blake loves Pat, Carlos and Eric as a second family and always felt welcome. Pat, Carlos and Eric are the most loving people that we have had the honor to know all these years. We will always be bonded with all of you as we love you so much and share your grief. God bless all of you, we will always be here for you.
Love,
Suzanne, Jim and Blake

We pray God's blessings on Marc's dear family and, although we didn't know him, felt as though we did after attending his service. Our friends, Rick and Elaine Roven are his grandparents and we went to honor them, but were so blessed by all that we heard. We were touched by our visits with the family and by the strength and resolve they showed in this time of incredible grief. God bless and keep you now and always.

Over the past two years, everytime I have thought of Marc, a huge smile has come to my face, and I just start laughing, and no matter how unhappy I might be, I always feel better after thinking about Marc. I only knew him during my senior year in Moscow, but he was always so friendly, weather he was making sure my friends and I got home safe from a night out by taking a gypsy cab with us, offering his mom's services for prom makeup,watching him play basketball or just hanging out at the embassy or in Rosinka talking...he was such a pleasure to be around. His easy friendliness and school spirit in a place so new to him always amazed me. His wonderful smile, his amazing personality and the memories he blessed me with are things that I shall carry with me always and treasure dearly. I offer my greatest sympthy, love and prayers to Marc and the Fontanot family.

I have known Marc for many years. He and my brother were best friends since they were two years old. So, growing up it was like I had two terrific and loving brothers. Marc is such a special person. There was no limit to how much love he gave to his family and friends. He excelled at anything he put his mind to and gave that energy to those around him. He had a heart of gold and I loved him just as I love my own brother. I will remember all the great times our families shared together over the years. I love you Marc! May his spirit be around us always. We send our sympathy and love to Carlos, Pat and Eric and this difficult time.
With love,
Marissa, Thomas and boys

Marc was a wonderful student to work with. He was such a strong person who had his own opinions and wasn't afraid to say what he thought. I have a huge respect for the challenges he met in Moscow, for the music he played, for the love he had for family and friends, for the big heart he was always ready to show. He was a special part of a great graduating class and it was my privelege to be his school counselor and friend. My deepest sympathies to Pat, Carlos, and Eric.
Vibeke Morland

I met Marc during senior year at AAS in Moscow. He was a wonderful person -- he always had a smile at the ready, was never afraid to voice his opinion or show his enthusiasm. He was talented and a truly well-rounded individual... someone who received respect without demanding it.
He was part of what became like a big family...all of us seniors together...he will be dearly missed.
I am so sorry. Please accept the deepest condolences, on behalf of my family and myself.

Marc, was such a great person! He could go from talking to his bestfriend to talking to someone he hardly knew with such ease, and still bring the same charisma and spirit to that conversation. All of us in Moscow, seriously became more than just friends we all became eachother's family and support system. I hope his family realizes all the joy he brought into other's lives, and knows that he is not really gone. His spirit will live on, in all those who knew him, and we will pass it on to those who were not as fortunate to know the amazing person he was. My condolences are with his family, in this terrible time of need.
My greatest sympathy,

Marc couldn't have been a more wonderful person. His musical, sports and friendship talents were incredible. Matt enjoyed playing basketball with him through both AAS and AYBO. He was always one of the best players on the team and a great teammate. His spirit and sense of humor made a great contribution to any team he was on. I was amazed at how much Marc had grown in his music and his commitment to his friends never waivered When I returned to Moscow in my senior year from Turkey, Marc and Mangus's performance at graduation displayed the true spirit of our class. Although I didn't here from Marc much this year, he always had a special place in my heart and now those memories will be that much more special. My family and I will miss Marc greatly and our deepest sympathy is with his family and friends.
