JASON MARCUS Obituary

MARCUS--Jason Harold. 1966-2022. Beloved son of Michael and the late Jane Marcus, brother of Lisa Marcus and Ben Marcus, father of Max Marcus, devoted co-parent of Max with Jessica Alan; brother-in-law of James Albrecht and Heidi Julavits, uncle of Hannah Albrecht, Delia Marcus, Cecily Albrecht and Solomon Marcus. Defense Attorney for 27 years with the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office. He often handled the most serious cases. He showed enormous respect and sympathy for his clients and their families. He dressed professionally and beautifully so that they would know that they had a real lawyer. Jason's passions were his beloved Max, his family, and the Chicago Cubs. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, October 23 at 2:00pm, Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills, 5950 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90068. The service will be streamed live. Contact the family for the link. Charitable contributions in Jason's honor may be sent to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), Memorial Donations.

I was a friend of Jason for about 6 years, during his early years in San Francisco and Los Angeles. So sad he is gone so young.

Very sad. Jason was a bud at NYU in the Psych program. Also friend of my (now) husband when he was at NYU. Too young to go.

How sad this is. I went to law school with Jason and we joined the PDs office the same year...the same hiring class. I can still remember in law school, the evidence teacher doing an experiment on the credibility of eyewitness ID. Jason was sitting in an aisle seat in the very back of an auditorium sized classroom- and boy did he have a lot to say about the teacher's experiment. Jason will be missed. He is very much a part of my career path story. May his memory be a blessing to us all.
