Marcus you will always be in our hearts forever! We will never ever forget you or the times you've made us laugh! You would brighten our day if we were having a bad one by just putting a smile on your face for us! We miss all the good times we've shared together but we love you. You will always be a part of us and you will always be a special part of our lives.

Mcgowan Family,
I know it's some time after the accident but I just previously found out about what has happened. What an Amazing person He was!!! He always knew the right words to say to cheer others up. His heart warming smile was capable of stopping any female dead in her tracks.. He always looked like he was up to no good....and im sure up in heaven he's owning the BET channel on tv and rapping it up....he can own that channel now....hahah azand i Bet he took Wolfgang as his rapper name....what a wonderful part of the family you all had....he will be deeply deeply missed....much love!!!!

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Christina and Nick,
The loss of our son, brother, and grandson, Marcus, is deeply, deeply tragic, incomprehensible in the way things and events are usually supposed to happen. He was a wonderful member of our wonderful family and circle of friends. Our pain and sorrow because of his absence will be intensified again over Christmas and other typical family times. But, you have many family and friends who love and support you in any way they can, in order to be what ever help they can. Nothing will ever, ever replace Marc for any of us, but, our love for you and for each other is another gift of our loving heavenly father who loves Marc, as well as each of us. We continue to hold you lovingly in our hearts and prayers. God bless you and hold you close in His comforting arms.

Marcus,
I have thought about you everyday now for the last month. I drive myself crazy wondering what you felt or thought during everything. I force myself to think of all the awesome memories instead of all my questions. I always end up thinking about german class, waterway, parties, spring break, halloween at the PIKE house. I feel like we were just now becoming good friends even though we've known eachother for years. I still can't believe you're gone. I have to remind myself that it was actually you in the accident. Please don't hesitate to drop in on Scott and me. He misses you more than you would have imagined. Save me a seat bitte. Bye 'Marty'

Marcus.
How strange it is here and now on earth to feel as though I have somehow gotten to know you even better than I did in the five years we’ve been together in life. I sit in the living room of your home and keep looking out the window to see if your home yet. It has taken me this long to try and put some words together to truly say to you what I have been thinking. I know you see and hear your Mom, Dad, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles and cousins, other family members and your great, great friends’ prayers and thoughts and how much they love and miss you. I pray that brings great peace to you. And I pray you hear my words, three words I never said to you keep ringing in my ears when I pray and think of you now. “I love you”. I guess I was worried that it wouldn’t have been very cool if I had said those words to you then. I promise you I’ll never worry about being cool again.
Christina, Nick, and all of Marcus’s family.
Your strength and love throughout this has been an unbelievable thing to experience and I can truly say an inspiration for so many people. When I read and hear other people’s words about what a wonderful person Marcus is and how Nick is such an outstanding young man, I look at the entire family and think that it is no wonder at all. May God bless and calm each of you.
Love, Bill

Christina and Nick, My prayers are with you both. I can't imagine the pain you must feel. After you called me and told me what had happened, the memeories of Marcus's smile and laugh came rushing into my soul. He could always make me laugh. I recently found a photo of Marus and my grandson laying togather on the couch sleeping. What a wonderful time we all had together that day . I will always have warm spot in my heart for your whole family. Your like my extended family that lives in my heart always.
Love you,

I met Marcus sophmore year. We got stuck in "Principles of Engineering" together. I dont think I could have made it through that class with my sanity if I didnt have Marcus next to me constantly making me laugh. We worked together at Waterway for almost a year where we shared some insanly cold days washing cars. He will forever live on in my heart.

Dear Marcus,
We see the love you shared with the people around you by the smile you had on your face. In every picture you're always happy. We know there will come a day when we will get to see that smiling face again, when the Lord takes us home. But until that day comes, we will always remember you with that great big smile! The smile that would always bring joy to the people around you. You are very much loved and will be sadly missed! Until we meet again, keep on smiling!! :-)
With all our love,

In Death there is Life.
In the begining we are all so innocent. We continue to celebrate life, year after year. But ever wandering why we exist?
Faith, love, hardship, understanding,hate, happiness grief, these emotions become the blue print of our souls. We overcome with triumph, to be the best we can be.
If we understood the process of God,we would not succeed in our own journey of life. Every soul has a different path to endure.
Shall we embrace the gift of love through the process of life. Shall we embrace death as freedom into the beautiful heavens above. Love is never forgotten, nor does it ever die,love only continues, into eternity.
Know in Death there is Life!

To Marcus' family,
We came to know Marcus through his friendship with our son, Trey. He was a joy to have in our home and we all enjoyed his company very much. Our 3 daughters thought he was very good looking and sometimes referred to him as "Prince William". He had such a great personality and was loved by all who knew him and I hope that a part of Marcus will stay with Trey forever.
May God be with you and guide you as you try to carry on.The Leone family will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry. Missing the funeral was really hard for me. Unfortunatly, classes and airplanes do not plan around tradgedies such as these as well as they should. I've missed him so much since I moved and this is just a horrible feeling, not being able to say goodbye. I am so sorry McGowans.

Dear Christina and Nick
From the first phone call, until right this moment, We are still at a loss of words to express our sorrow for your loss.
Thank the Good Lord, He opened the doors and accepted your beautiful son home, a little too early for all of you of course, but God has a plan and we follow, with heavy hearts sometimes.
Please know we are thinking of you and praying for the peace that surpasses ALL UNDERSTANDING.
God bless you and keep you in his tender grip.

Christina,
As I read your message to Marcus I was reminded that there is no love stronger than that of a Mother for her children. No words can take away the sorrow that comes with this loss. But your words show that both Marcus and Nick are loved in a most beautiful way.
Nick,
Although we have not met I would like to say, be strong and do your best always. I am sorry for your loss.
Marcus,
May the wind always be at your back my friend. Watch over your Mom and Brother. They will need you for the journey ahead.

Christina,
Where do I begin, except I am so sorry for your recent loss. Even though I have never met either of your boys, I always felt like I did know them because of us exchanging our "war stories" on our teenagers. I can not begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now, but do know this, you are in my thoughts and prayers over the next several months and years as you adjust to your loss. The hurt will never go away, but neither will your memories. And that is what you must always remember. The memories will live on in your heart and mind forever. God Bless!
Love, Andrea

Christina & Nick,
I am so so sorry for your great loss. I truly enjoyed watching Marcus and Nick grow up and become great men. I still have the vision of the boys' joy they expressed when they would come to my parents' home. They had such excitement in their sweet little faces. It was a pleasure catching up with you and the boys a few summers ago! Boy how they've grown! I will always remember Marcus as a very polite and freindly, easy going guy! Oh by the way, I loved the car ride. He sure was proud of his car. Please know that you and your family are in my constant thoughts and I pray for you now as you are going thru this difficult time! I love you guys! Marlana

McGowan Family: I know both Marcus and Nick. I met Marcus my sophmore year in high school. We had Chemistry together and he sat right behind me. We had Chemistry right after lunch. He would always bring his left over chips and chomp on them right in my ear. I knew Marcus when he wore those big glasses and had long hair. We talked so much that we got split up second semester. Then Marcus changed his appearance on us all! He has the biggest heart and will be missed! God be with the McGowan family as you live through this time of sorrow and sadness.
Nick...hang in there!

I am so deeply sorry for your loss and cannot even begin to imagine what you must be going through.

I hold you and your family in the light and know that happiness and joy will find their way to your lives again.

My Dear Son Marcus,
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005 was the most terrible and the most beautiful day of my life. Terrible...because you were taken away from everyone that loves you so much and from all the things you still want to do. Beautiful...because I know in my heart you are in Heaven waiting for each of us to join you and that you will watch over us until we arrive. I know for sure you are getting to know everyone around you and making them laugh and smile.
You are the greatest son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend to all of us and our hearts ache for you each minute of every day.
Your beautiful smile, sincere kindness, big heart, and witty sense of humor are just a few of the things that will live on in all of our hearts and memories.
Sleep peacefully my wonderful child until we meet again. I'll keep the sunroof open so you know where we are.

I've known Marcus since middle school. It's sounds funny calling him Marcus. Some of our friends called him Marty. Mr. Schulte, his WWII teacher thought his name was Marty and called him that all semester. The name actually stuck and he would actually answer to it. Marty will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as Nick and the rest of the McGowan family.
