Marcus and I first met freshman year. We had algerbra 1 together with Ms. Bohnae. It was the first class of the day of my first day of high school. Also we had random classes together through out high school. Marcus, out of all the guys was such a gentlman. I have nothing but great things to say about your son. I will always remeber Marcus as being a caring, kind hearted, talented, respectful, smart, loving, honest, fun person. He is a person who won't be forgotten and missed greatly by the people he left an effect on. May he Rest in peace, and his positive spirit live on!

To the Wanza family,
I played in band with Marcus his junior and senior years of high school. He was an awesome guy. Me and him used to always play spades together and we would refuse to have any other partners other than each other. We weren't the best players, but we had fun. Marcus was a good friend and I will truly miss him.

Genise,
I just heard this evening about Marcus. I remember Marcus from back at Lockmar. You and I sometimes graded papers together and I remember what good and dedicated parents you are, and obviously why Marcus became such a wonderful young man. Seeing him grow into such a fine man was a joy for every band parent at Palm Bay High. Marcus always had a ready smile for everyone. He will missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mr. and Mrs. Wanza,
I was Marcus' band director at Palm Bay High for about a year and a half. He was a tuba player in the symphonic band. He referred to me as Mr. K as did all of the other students. I heard about your loss and my heart and prayers go out to you. I was very fond on Marcus. He was an excellent musician. He always had a great smile on his face. He always seemed to light up a room when he walked in. I never heard an ill word from him and he kept the rest if the tubas in check. Although I only taught him for a year and a half, he left an impression on me that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Please know that he will be missed and he is loved by Mr. Koskoski "Mr. K." Again my prayers tonight will be for you and your family in this difficult time. May God bless you.

My alarm goes off at 2:45 a.m., and I hit the silence button. That's why I set the other alarm for 3:00 when I am supposed to get up. After a minute of protesting, I get up and stumble my way into the living room where Big Rich, Neil, and Austin are sleeping. As I start to carry the poles out to the boat, they hear me, wake up, and proceed to get up and help me load the boat. A few minutes later Harper shows up, then right behind him Marcus is here and we are ready to start our adventure into the deep blue. After a 45 minute drive we get the boat in the water, meet up with my friend Bill in his 26' Century and start heading to the inlet. We get about 4 miles offshore and the GPS goes out and now we are running off of Bills. We hit the 100’ mark on the depth finder and lines go out, about 2 minutes later the right flat goes off. Harper grabs it and we boat a small King fish at 6:10. We put the spread back out and not even 5 minutes later the left flat goes off, and this fish means business! Marcus picks up the pole soon, followed by the belt. This is his first trip offshore and first offshore fish. We get all the lines cleared and I look at the spool and there is almost nothing left on the Tiagra 30 wide, so I start backing down on the fish. It slowed down at the same time and we are starting to get some line back, and the whole time big Rich is back there giving Marcus pointers, but it seemed like it came naturally to him. About 30 minutes pass and we get it closer to the boat and I see stripes and I yell "looks like about a 30 pound Wahoo". It gets closer and I say "maybe 40", closer "maybe 60". He got it up next to the boat and it goes straight for the motors and I yell to Rich to hammer it to the right. Luckily the fish did not get cut off. It took one more run next to the boat, but this time the fish made a mistake and came a little too close and I sunk the gaff into him. I attempted to hoist it into the boat, but his weight surprised me, then my second rush of adrenaline kicked in and there he was. The fish hit the boat with a tremendous thud. I have never heard so many high pitched voices come out of such big men in my life. I looked up at Marcus and his smile was from ear to ear. As I held the Wahoo up on the gaff, Marcus came to my side for the perfect picture with the sunrise in the background. We took a lot more pictures and let him suck some ice until he died. When he was dead the hook came out and so did the weight scale. The scale goes up to 50 pounds and he pegged that with no problem. We trolled around for a couple more hours and decided to call it a day, but we were all interested to see how much the Wahoo weighed. We stopped at Squid Lips on the way home and the scale read 72.3 pounds, not bad for your first offshore fish. This was the biggest fish that Marcus had ever caught and will ever catch. Sadly, four days after that Marcus died. "Rest in peace Marcus, you will be missed by your crew down here... and catch some big ones up there for us!!"

Wanza family:
I was just listening to a Christian music CD and the song, "Better is one day" came on. As I listened to the words.."Better is one day in your court, better is one day in your house than a thousand elsewhere"..it made me think of Marcus and your pain of losing him. I just thought that possibly those words might bring you some comfort knowing that Marcus is in the presence of our loving Lord and it is AMAZING!!

My younger son played football with Myron and my older son was in band with Marcus and was also a tuba player. They were in a tuba quartet at solo and ensemble as freshmen at PBHS. Your family is in our prayers and thoughts constantly. No words can ever express how much Marcus will be missed and how much he touched all of our lives. God bless you all.

To the Wanza family,
Growing up down the street from you and Marcus was a blessing. I remember when I was younger, I use to play basketball with Marcus and Kasey while Myron would watch.. I would have so much fun that I never wanted to go in when my mother called me in. As I grew up Marcus and the family was still so wonderful. Every time you would see me, my mother, or my sisters you all would always wave and smile, and honk your horn. I wish I was there to share my condolences with everyone but unfortunately I have moved to Italy where my husband is currently stationed. Not a day goes by when I don't think of Marcus. Myron, Howard and Genise, you are all in my prayers.

To the Wanza family,
I have known your family since I was a little girl. Growing up down the road from you and Marcus was a blessing. It seemed like yesterday I used to go outside and play basketball with Marcus, and Kasey while Myron watched. I always had so much fun and never wanted to go inside when my mother called. As I grew up your family was so friendly. Every time you would see me or my mother or sisters you would wave or honk your horn. I am sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers. I wanted to be there to share my condolences but I am in Italy where my husband is stationed. I think about Marcus, Myron, Howard, and Genise everyday and you ALL are in my prayers.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
Dear Genise, Howard, Myron and Family,
Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. There are no words to express our deepest regrets over your loss. Dock will be there to take care of Marcus as he was always helping Dock when he came to visit God loves us all; Lean on Him. Take care of each other. Love you

To the Wanza Family,
Words cannot express the sorrow i feel for your loss. For the couple years i knew Marcus he was a great guy and put his heart into everything. I remember he was the one who first started calling me McCrazy, and how he showed up for Fellowship of Christian Athletes meetings to eat chilli and cornbread when it started getting cold out. I will remember him most for praying with me jess and david harrison, in the 2nd round playoff game in 2005. Wanza was always a great guy and i am proud to have played ball with him even for two short years. It always hurts to lose a team mate. He always had a smile on his face, and i know you all must have been very proud of him. He will be missed and loved by all who knew him.

He knew me because i would always ask him for a dollar in school (lol) :( I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great person and even thought it had been a long time since i've seen him that smile is fresh in my mind.

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.
