Marc’s many natural gifts of writing, art, humor, music, mechanics and more were passed down to his children. His love for them kept him in Topeka for the remainder of his days, where he reconnected with his first love, Anne and they had 21 years together, He spent his days in retirement playing computer games and had friends from around the world who kept in contact through internet chatrooms, multi-player games, etc. He loved music videos, dance videos, and puppy pages on Facebook. And he never missed a KU game on TV.

Although Marc did NOT want a dog, Molly came to live with him and Anne, whence Marc and Molly formed a bond that was hilarious and adorable. They were each other’s emotional support.

Marc’s last gift to the world was the generous donation of his brain to study for science to help future military service personnel, as well as the gift of tissue donation to help other accident survivors. This good man will be so greatly missed by all.

His family will host a Celebration of Life in the spring. Date to be announced and information will be posted on Facebook. Memorial contributions can be made to Helping Hands Humane Society of Topeka or the Wounded Warrior Project.
