Marc Abrams Obituary

Marc David, 26, passed away Monday, March 24, 2014 in Lincoln, RI. Marc was loved by all those around him and brought happiness to everyone he met. He was a natural at everything; he loved playing tennis, golf, cooking and more than anything time with his family. He worked in medical research at Neurotech, in RI, and looked forward to his work helping others. His desire to help others led him to Ghana to build schools for the local villagers. Marc leaves behind his parents Joy and Bob, his sister Dana and her husband Steve. He is the cherished grandson of Joyce and Burt Abrams and the late Zelda and Robert Kudish. Funeral services will be held Friday at 1:00 PM at Temple Beth Torah (5700 NW 94th Ave, Tamarac, FL). Followed by Star of David Cemetary (7701 Bailey Rd, North Lauderdale, FL). In lieu of flowers, contributions to The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund or Projects Abroad/Ghana Fund in memory of Marc Abrams.

Losing a loved one in death is the most difficult thing we deal with. When we lose someone we love it throws us off balance and we are left with many emotions including anger, pain, disbelief and denial; and we know that our lives will never be the same. Slowly we adjust and we find the strength to go on with our lives. Our love never dies, we just learn to live without our loved ones. May you find comfort in the love of family and friends and by sharing the many memories of your loved one.

Sincere condolences for your loss.

I've spent my years growing up with Marc, and I wouldn't change a thing. Being roommates throughout collage, I had the greatest opportunity to help him out after a night at the bar (it may have been the other way). We share so many great memories and laughter. It is so hard to lose such a good friend, and and all around amazing being. Hearts are so heavy for you, and the Abrams family. I love you all so much.

Marc was a friend of mine at our tennis club in Cumberland, RI. He was a good player and a great man. Quick to laugh, easy to like, fun to be around. I was saddened to learn of his death and express deep sympathy to his family and friends. There is little as unfair as a parent losing a child, and I feel particular sadness for Marc's parents. He did you proud.
