Markham was a talented musician who loved to play his 6 string Acoustic guitar and 8 string Ukulele. His musical skills were just as great as his culinary skills. He balanced his time between Aikido, the Detroit Tigers, and the Detroit Lions. In his down time he enjoyed watching old Westerns and anime. His life will be celebrated and his memory will be continued on by his family.
