Marcus, I will never forget you, I will always remember the top bloke that was my mate.

Marcus,

The greatest thing about being a Xaverian is that it is a tightly knit group..whether you have gone your separate ways or not...

To hear that you passed absolutely hurt me...When I think of my early years at Burke Hall and Xavier I really do think a lot about a pretty good bond we had, a lot of laughs...

Even though you go your separate ways in life it doesn't mean that forget your journey through life and the people you meet...

I am filled with sorrow for your family and friends that they have lost an honest bloke with a good heart...

Rest in Peace Mate

Daniel Grilli

RIP mate job well done..you will not be forgotten.
