Marc

First and foremost, sending strength and love to family and friends of the all individuals who knew you. No words can express the void that is being felt with your passing.

Both my husband, Mustang and I have known Marc for 30 years and maybe more. This moment has been too surreal. It feels like yesterday we were all at the Suarez’s house, barbecuing, having great conversations, and enjoying each other’s company. We can still hear your contagious laugh, your sense of humor, and your words of wisdom. The fact that you are no longer physically here hurts all of us so much.

We will continue to honor your memory in the best way possible, by never forgetting you and how much you meant to so many people. Go Raiders!!!

Love,
The Ramirez Family
Mustang, Jess, Cyrus, and Beau
