Michael Marble Obituary

Michael R. Marble 8/19/58 - 7/18/06 Survived by his children, Christopher, Adam and Lindsey "Tinkerbell"; father, Wil; mother, Maggie (Jerry); brother, David (Laurie); nephew, Devin; niece, Stefanie and many family and friends. Michael graduated from Rincon High School in 1976 and went to work as a Dental Technician. He and David started their own Dental Laboratory in 1984 and worked alongside with their father until his passing. Michael was very artistic with his work and took pride in what he did. Michael was taken away tragically and too soon from his children that he will never see grow up. We will never understand why you were taken from us, but only hope that you are no longer in pain. You have filled your children, family and friends lives with so much happiness. Thank you for our wonderful memories of love and laughter for all who knew and loved you, to cherish forever. Nothing was more important to Michael than the time he spent with his children. To Adam and Lindsey you will always be their hero and now their "purple" guardian angel in the sky. You are gone now, but your spirit will live on in your children. Your mom, dad, David and I will be there to tell all your stories and let them know what a big heart you had for others, the incredible love you had for them and most of all to always know what a truly wonderful father you are. We all love and miss you, Annette.

Hi Mike,
Happy Birthday! First of all I want you to know how much me and the kids miss you. But they are very happy and awesome kids, Lindsey is so funny and creative, I dont know if she'll be a comedian or the president of the US or just a butterfly. And Adam wow he is so smart and you to the T. He is sensitive, caring, emotional, he always wears his socks just like you did, I tell him daddys feet were as soft as a baby's butt! Your dad took Adam to Pinetop to see David this summer and Devin came to Tucson to spend the day with the kids, they had a great time. Lindsey was in a summer program for drama, music and fine arts and she loved it and she did so awesome in it!!! Can you believe your a "grandpa"? I wish you were here to see all the wonder things going on with your children. I miss you.
Love, Annette

Hi MIke,
Happy Birthday!!! The kids and I are going to celebrate you today with your purple balloons and cake and ice cream at the park! Adam and Lindsey started school on Monday. Adam did great, Lindsey was sad and cried some. But by the time she was done, she was very happy. I asked how her day was and she replied great, because she asked you to be with her at school and you were. And she said everyday she was going to ask you. It made me cry, she missed you so much. Adam was also said for you, on saturday he was at his friend Jacobs and Jacob's dad said Adam told him he was very sad and thinking about you. It is very hard at time but they need to hear about you and remember the things you did with them. So Keep giving them signs of happy memories of you and them and I will too!
Love,
Annette

Mike,
It is so hard to imagine that it has been 3 years since you left us. Adam and Lindsey are growing up so fast, you would be so proud of them. Adam is so smart, learning comes so easy to him and Lindsey, she is amazing! Whatever she does she does it well. There's not a day that goes by that you not thought of, missed and loved tremendously!!! Please know I am taking very good care of our children and always keeping your memory alive.
Love, Annette

Mike,
Today you come to mind alot. Probably cuz I saw Adam and Lindsay this weekend and am so very proud of them. Adam is excited about testing for the Gate Program. He is a smart guy. Your Tinkerbell is quite the fashionista and getting a cute personality. While you left them far too soon I know that you and Yvonne are preparing our Eternal home so that we will be together again. Until then we honor your life and will always remind them of the GREAT Dad they had.
Love, Lisa

Honey,
It is really hard to believe you have been gone for 1 year. The year has gone so fast. The legacy of love you have left for all those who were fortunate to have known you will continue on in their hearts. You were such a very special person who never met a stranger and always had a kind word to say, you could always find fun in the most mundane task, there was never a shortage of laughter while you were present, everything you did was for the fun of it....you are dearly missed and very much loved......yours always
love, Pamela

Hi Daddy, How are you? I bet you and Rosie are having lots of fun. I want you to know you are the best daddy! Today, we celebrated your life and all the special things that we did together, like going to Walmart, Petco and Mt. Lemon and we brought Sadie. We even ate at your favorite restaurants, Fuddruckers and New York Pizza. We sent you 6 balloons with me and Lindsey's pictures when we were at Mt. Lemon, did you get them? Oh, daddy Christopher also came over tonight and we swam. I love you very much and think of you all the time. Love, Adam

Mike,
It's been a year since your passing and it seems like yesterday. You are truly missed especially by your children. They have grown and changed so much this year. You would be very impressed. I let them know how much your missed and loved. Please let Adam know your at peace because he is very angry and it's hard to see the little guy so sad. Don't know what to do for him but assure him that you love him so very much. Your Tinkerbell is doing well and blossoming. She came out of her anger. God Bless you Mike and know that I care.
Love, Lisa

Dear Uncle Mike,
I cannot believe it's been a whole year since you've been gone. I also can't believe how strong the kids have been. They are amazing and I love being with them. I was there last week and i watched Lindsey hug your motocross uniform in Adam's room. i know they both miss you a lot and I miss you too. Please say hi to my aunt Yvonne for me. I miss her so much. I love You. Love, Kelsey

Hi Mike,
I just wanted to let you know how well Adam and Lindsey did this year in school. Remember last year when you took Lindsey to kindergarten roundup and you called crying because Lindsey was scared and wouldnt let go of you. I know you were so worried how she would she make it the first day, but I am hear to tell you "our little girl" did so awesome in school. I just cant believe the changes in her. You would be so proud of both of them. The kids and I went to your mom's house for her birthday and we all had a great time. Your mom was so happy because Lindsey went with her and talked so much with her. It was very special. Adam and Lindsey were in Gina's wedding Saturday, didnt they look beautiful? And Adam had his first communion and now he's in Hawaii. Since I am not with him there, I need you to look after him and be his guardian angel, so he will be safe. We miss you and Yvonne so much, you have no idea how much it hurts. Lindsey has been dreaming about you alot lately and its always with the 4 of us together and being happy. I believe its a sign you are giving her. Keep it up and give me and Adam a sign too. We love you! Mommy, Adam and Lindsey

Hi Mike,
I just want you to know that I had Adam and Lindsey over the weekend and they're GREAT kids. They both have a part of you in them that really shows through. Adam has a hard time showing happy emotions but we got him to talk about you and remember the good times. He wants to go fishing really bad. Lindsey always talks about you and Aunt Yvonne. She has so much SPIRIT and boy can she dance. I love those kids and will always share your memory with them. Take care of Yvonne. We miss you alot.
Love, Lisa

January 18, 2007

Mike,
It has now been 6 months since you've been gone and the kids and I miss you. We talk about a memory of you everyday and say a prayer. Yvonne is with you now in heaven and I hope you two are taking care of each other. I know you would be so proud of the children to see how much they have grown and how smart they are. Adam misses you so much and takes out his memory box of your stuff he kept and Lindsey still calls you her purple angel.
We love and miss you! Adam, Lindsey and Mommy

Happy Birthday, Daddy! Today we are going to the park to celebrate your birthday! We wrote you letters to send off in balloons to you! The kids started school this week and I am so proud of Lindsey because she didnt cry and went on her own with the teacher. She is cheerleading now and WOW is she cute. Lindsey talks to you all the time and every night before she goes to sleep says her prayers to you. You would be so proud of our little girl and how strong she is. Adam really likes his teacher and is excited to see his friends again. He will be starting Soccer in a few weeks. Adam is just like you, very quiet, yet emotional and so loving. He carries a prayer seed with him and holds it tight, that is his way of keeping you close to his heart. Our Beautiful children are truly the miracle of our love we shared. They are so lucky to have had such an incredible father! You always made your time with them special and your amazing love was so uplifting and heartfelt. With that they will have those memories of you to keep a smile on their face and to hold close to their heart. We love and miss you, Adam, Lindsey and Mommy

Is it sad to think we will never see Michaels smiling face or hear his laughter again? I believe he remains in all our hearts and that

he continues to live on. Michael, I am sure would want us to keep the fondess memories of him with us whatever role he played in our lives, fiancee,lover,friend,brother,son,

father or mentor. Michael LIVES in each of us and will continue to smile at our achievements and pick us up when we need him to... close your eyes, take a deep breath and picture the face that you remember. We should not be sad but rejoice that Michael has been lifted to a better place and is now completely whole. I am not going to be sad but happy to know that Michael has found the happiness and peace we all seek...

I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SPEND THE LAST 18 MONTHS AT MICHAELS SIDE AND WAS WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A MORE GENEROUS AND CARING INDIVIDUAL IN MY LIFETIME HE WAS TRULY AN ANGEL THAT WALKED AMONG US. WHILE HE WAS HERE HE TOOK NO GREATER PLEASURE THAN TO SPEND TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN ADAM AND LINDSEY THEY SHARED A RELATIONSHIP OF MUTUAL ADMIRATION. TO BE WITH THEM WAS LIKE MAGIC-THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS TRULY SPECIAL. MICHAEL TOOK THEM CAMPIMG AND FISHING EVERY CHANCE HE COULD. HE TOOK THEM TO THE WT. MTNS.TO PLAY IN THE SNOW. HE TOOK THEM TO THE STABLES TO RIDE THEIR HORSES, HE ALSO TOOK THEM SWIMMING SEVERAL DAYS THIS SUMMER. HE TOLD THEM EVERY DAY HE LOVED THEM AND HUGGED AND KISSED THEM HE BELIEVED THEY SHOULD HAVE A HAPPY LIFE AND DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THEY LOVED THEIR DAD UNCONDITIONALLY AND ABOVE ALL ELSE JUST WANTED TO BE NEAR HIM. HE NEVER LEFT ME WITHOUT SAYING HOW MUCH HE LOVED AND ADORED ME. HE WILL BE MISSED EVERY DAY.....

My deepest sympathy for a life taken much too soon. I knew Mike in high school and will always remember his smile. His life has touched many and he will be truly missed. May you take comfort in knowing that he is now watching over his family and will be protecting you all the days of your lives. God Bless You.

Dear Mike, mere words cannot describe the sorrow and pain we are all feeling in your absence. I only take comfort in knowing that The Good Lord must have bigger plans for you. I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to create many, many fond memories with you. I will cherish them forever. As your children grow, I will share these memories with them and remind them of what a wonderful person you were... I promise.



God Bless You, Greg

Mike,

Some of the most fondest memories in high school were with you, Mike. We hung out at Pizza Hut on Speedway Blvd after high school football and basketball games. We tried to learned how to talk to girls but we crashed and burned many times. That never stop us from marrying our high school sweet hearts.

High school graduation came and gone and life's realities came into play. I only saw you a handful of times after that and we kept the same circle of friends. I always knew of your life's moments. Its not fair your gone so soon. My family and I will always remember you, Mike. My condolences to your family and everyone who loved you.

Lisa Sackett

To my Cousin Michael, We spent many days together when we were little kids. Your Mom and mine worked hard to keep all of us busy during the long summers in Tucson, going to Randolph park for swimming lessons, or to Grandpa and Grandma Marbles for ice cream. You and Dave were always there with us. We all grew up and went our separate ways but when we did see each other it was like no time had passed. The Marble cousins share a strong bond. I hope you have found peace.
