Marcus Gressett Obituary
Marcus Aaron Gressett was born on October 14, 1971 in Houston, Texas. He passed away suddenly on, October 5, 2011 in Kingwood, Texas. Marc was the beloved son of Don and Carol Gressett , the loving brother of Jennifer Gressett, and the special uncle of Colin Gressett. He is survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as a host of friends, including Robin Geske, and finally by his most important companion, his dog Buddy.
Marc was a life-long resident of Kingwood, where he graduated from Kingwood High School in 1990. He attended Baylor University and was employed at the time of his death in his family's business, Carol's Lighting in Humble, Texas.
Marc was an avid outdoors man, whose hunting and fishing hobbies were life-long. He took great joy in sharing stories with friends and family about his exploits in these areas, and was really very good at both. Marc loved sports and was an ardent fan of the Dallas Cowboys, holding dear his autographed memorabilia from the Tom Landry days.
Marc was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ralph and Evelyn Roebuck and Pete and Margaret Gressett, all of Waxahachie, Texas.
Marc's life was celebrated on Monday morning, October 10th, at Kingwood Funeral Home in Kingwood, Texas, with Dr. Jerry House officiating. Burial was in Calvary Hill Cemetery in Houston.
Due to Marc's strong love of animals, the family requests that memorials be made in Marc's name to the Houston SPCA.

I miss how you always knew what I was thinking. I miss your hands in mine. Most of all, I miss your laugh. We laughed until we cried at least once a week.
Buddy Leigh is good. But misses her father.
I love you, I love you, I love you. I hope you know that. Somehow I think you might.
I am a better person for knowing you. A better person to have loved you. And honored to have been loved in return.
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death."
