Thoughts and prayers to Marcus´ family.

I met Marcus as a 17 year old incoming Freshman at Southern University. He was my first roommate and I followed him everywhere that first semester. I remember him taking me to Many for a weekend visit. His family and the people of Many were some of the nicest people I have ever met.

Even though Marcus and I lost contact with each other after graduation I often wondered what he was up to.

I´ll always remember his smile and his willingness to help someone.

Rest in peace roomie.
