My "Boo-Cat" gone too soon. I remember the day he was born, and the joy I felt when Jacqui asked me to be his godmother, and the day he was Christened unto God to me. I took that role very serious, even though I wasn´t living a life that was pleasing to God at that time, I did my best to be a good godmother to my godson. I was so proud of him, my "Boo-Cat" had grown up, served his country, was a good husband to his wife, and a father to his children, and lived a godly life. We may not have talked much on the phone, but we kept in contact through Facebook, and text messages. We would always comment on each other´s pages. I was so proud of how he provided and spent time with his family, showing so much love to his wife and children. Our last text message to each other was in January on his 48th birthday, I said "happy birthday godson, Boo-Cat, I pray you have an amazing day, love you, God bless." His response was, "Thank you godmother, and may the Lord continue to bless your house, love you." I thank God for the 48 years He blessed me to have my loving, caring godson. He told me I can always call him "Boo-Cat."

Love Always, Valetta/godmother

"Gratitude." I am thankful for his SMILE and his LAUGHTER that has left the most positive effect on me. (17:22). Dad

To my best friend, the love of my life, my soulmate and father of my two beautiful girls that you blessed me with. Thank you for loving me unconditionally for 20-years. In your arms, I found solace and comfort. Every night, I lie awake, staring at the empty space beside me, wishing it were you. I wish I can pull you into my arms right now and hug and kiss you, but for now, I hug and kiss your heart and soul! MY ONE AND ONLY TRUE LOVE!!! I love you every day for the rest of my life. Can´t wait to be with you again.
Your wife, Nuriza

I loved you then, I love you now, and I will love you forever. Mommy

Marcus, you are missed in the deepest way. You played so many important parts of so many people´s lives. We were blessed to have been a part of who you were. Thank you for the time you gave us to share your life. Rest well...

Marcus was one of the nicest person I ever work with at Stanford, never saw him get upset or raised his voice against anyone. I will always remember him.
