Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
Germay, Marc 4/20/1986 - 11/21/2022 Kalamazoo On Tuesday, November 22, 2022 Marc went to bed and woke up in Heaven. Marc was born on April 20, 1986 in Muyinga, Burundi, Africa, the son of Roger and Josee (Nkusi) Germay. He was a graduate of Hackett Catholic Central High School. From an early age, Marc was fascinated with driving and loved helping people. He got to live his dream as a taxi driver and as a non-emergency transport personnel. He was currently employed with Life EMS. It was impossible to be Marc's friend without knowing about his passions for snow, HOT n NOW, Plymouth Horizon, vans, smooth jazz, 90s sitcoms and buffet restaurants! Marc was a gentle soul with a deep love for his Lord, and for the past 15 months, an unconditional love for his soulmate, Heather.. He had a quirky sense of humor which was at the same time exaggerated and really caring for the person he interacted with. His unmistakable laugh will be missed by all who have ever heard it. He was preceded in death by his uncle Louis in 2012 and his mother Josee on June 3, 2017 . Marc is survived by his fiancee Heather Lynn Martinie, father Roger Germay, brothers: Frederic Germay and Patric (Jamie) Germay, his uncles: Joseph (Linda) Germay and Alphonse (Charlotte) Nkusi, his aunt Brenda (Ray) Germay, his godmother Betsy Lawrence, and several nieces, nephews and cousins. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Joseph Catholic Church (936 Lake street, KZO) Friday December 9, 2022 at 12 noon. Rev. Fr. Thomas McNally Celebrant. Burial will be in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. A luncheon will follow the burial, in the church's Fr. Bennett Hall. Memorials may be made to the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the HHT Foundation, Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue, or any charity of your choice. For those unable to attend, a link for a planned Zoom live stream session of the funeral will be posted on Marc's Facebook page by Patric Germay on Monday December 5, 2022.

Marc was my soulmate and best friend. He gave me my life back and showed me what it meant to be truly treated with love and respect. He was everything I never new I needed and more. I will truly miss him everyday until I can see him again in heaven. Our connection began from the moment we started talking and continually grew stronger and stronger every day.
I love you baby I cant wait to see you again in heaven!

Marc was one of my students at Hackett. He was kind and interesting person who had strong feelings. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

My sincerest condolences. Marc was such a bright light in this world. I remember when he became my camera operator and we worked together for 6 years bringing Fully Alive to PMN. He did it all: run cables, shoot video, pre and post editing. He was such a catalyst for creative expression, so engaging, so caring, such a kind person. I will miss him a lot and have a hard time believing he is no longer with us. May the angels guide him to the highest heights in heaven. Goodbye, my friend.
