Mark Photographed me twice and was so wonderful to work with. He was always whispering quietly in my ear during the shoot, building my confidence. A wonderful experience with wonderful results.

We love you, Marc, and the only thing to make us smile today is knowing that you are the photographer that will get God to sit for a shoot.

In a word? Artist? Photographer? Celebrity? No, friend. The best of them pass through your life seldomly. Marc Raboy, you shared your generous love of life, love and laughter with us. Jill and I are devastated by your loss. But we take pleasure knowing we will now have a great picture of God taken by you for the world to see. Love, Kevin and Jill Larkin.

My heart goes out to Keith and everyone who new and loved Marc. I had the pleasure of seeing Marc every two-three weeks for for the last twenty plus years as his friend and hairstlyist. He always shared a great story or funny memory and he preformed them as if the audience was full. He was a true romantic who loved life to the fullest. I will miss that robust laugh and lust for life. Onward dear friend.

Words can't describe how Marc made me feel after I saw his finished photograph of me. I've never seen me like that again. He was truly an artist. It was wonderful to see him happy with his husband Keith. I will miss you Marc. x

Marc Raboy was indeed a genius of a photographer, one of the few very best. A day in his studio could range from taking album photos for Patti LaBelle, to doing my headshots, and mine were as good as hers (though less glamorous). His photos are immediately recognizable, and having his photos remains a mark of the best taste.

Marc Raboy was a very generous friend. I always thought he would outlive me. Life will not feel the same without him. God bless you, Marc.

Marc always found the joy in life. He was so blessed to meet and marry Keith. Keith you made him so happy. You introduced him to a new world and the doors that you opened for him made him proud. He seemed to fly with happiness.
