My prayers to the Ellis family and Marcus' friends and loved ones. Although I didn't know him myself, as a Plainfield resident, his death has hit me especially hard. I haven't gone a day since without thinking about the fact that a young man with a good heart and so much potential lost his life literally down the street from where I live. To call this a tragedy would be an understatement. Please let me know how I can be as of much help to the Marcus Ellis scholarship fund as possible, I am willing to do whatever is in my power to ensure that Marcus' kindness, pursuit of knowledge, and willingness to give back to the community is not forgotten.
