Cindy and family,
I first met Marcus through my nephew Marcos. Because they were good friends he attended many family events. I affectionately referred to them as the M & M s. :) Marcus was a very nice young man; always very respectful and caring. I will always remember his beautiful smile. He will be dearly missed by all. I will keep you in my prayers.

My dear friend Cindy and the Arredondo family - I most remember Markey as this cute little boy with an adorable smile and chubby cheeks. He grew to be a handsome young man with a beautiful spirit. He is with the Lord now in heaven. May God give you comfort and bless you all.

I worked for an EMS company here in Toledo, and had the honor of transporting Marcus on several occasions to Columbus. He was always very positive and kind, and although his health was diminishing, he always had a smile and something positive to say. This a great loss. Marcus, God speed my friend; and to your family, I am so, so sorry for your loss.
