My sympathy to those that loved Jeff. I was in Sacred Heart School with Jeff and then in High School. Hard to believe that I still have a small note, a 42 year old note perhaps, from Jeff, given to me by him during the Sacred Heart years. One of many notes passed from boys to girls and vise versa. Sliding one past the nuns! Not an easy task. Way back in the day of uncomplicated lives, sweet innocent fun. Why I still have it in my jewlery box, I will never know. There were hundreds of notes passed around back then, you know a couple of years before texting. He wanted me to go to the movies. He signed it... The Great, The Magnificent, The Yas Man Forever....Jeffery P. Marcoux. I am sure God will think so too. The cutest boy in the classroom. May God bless you to help you through your sorrow.

Once again to those that loved Jeff. No question by the size of the crowd, there were many. If he never knew before, the lives he touched, we need to believe that he knows now. I just returned home from Bennington and was happy to share a tiny memory that suddenly became big. Thank you for the welcome. It was nice to see the faces of his family. What a feeling it was to see that cute young face again. Why is always the question, sadly, who knows, is often the answer ? Healing from such a shocking loss takes a very long time. My heart goes out to you all. I hope my tiny memory helped. At least I could pass the note freely, without watching for a ruler!

I'm saddened to hear about Jeff. I remember him as a class act, in our days at Sacred Heart grade school. Jeff was the one who was the 007 fan and always had a MAD magazine. My condolences go out to his family.Madelyn Fonteneau
Jeff and I started our early years growing up on "The Flats". Our parents were close friends and Jeff's parents were my God parents. I would see Jeff from time to time and usually he was on his way to see his kids. It was sad to hear of his relationship and health problems. I know he really loved his family and I wish he wasn't so tortured. He always put on a brave face and unfortunately, didn't share much of his grief with others.I remember he pulled my pony tails, carried my books once in a while and also remember the Mad Magazines, 007 and hanging out w/ him and Jimmy LaCroix.
I remember winning a sprint race with him in 5th grade at Sacred Heart only to lose to Michael LaPlante. We were the fastest runners in the class at the time.
He did have a devilish streak but an endearing smile. I will miss my God brother. I'm sure Cookie, Donna and Lionel will also.
