Marc lived life to the fullest, inspiring those around him to reach for the stars and chase their dreams. Marc had many passions in life including traveling, music, and education, which he enjoyed sharing with his children and five grandchildren. He was known for his legendary kindness, never-ending love, generosity, infectious laughter, boundless imagination, sense of humor, and ability to fix anything. His innovation, patience, wisdom, and dedication to his family were unwavering.
Marc is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Lynn, his children Michelle & husband Christopher Modisett (Sporn) and Kristina & husband Jason Huefner and his five grandchildren Andrew Huefner, Landon Modisett, Logan Modisett, Emma Modisett, and Reid Modisett.
