I don't remember Marcus in High School. But at Churchill Junior High School we had math class together. Marcus and Brett Fowles always had me laughing in that class. Math is my worst subject, but because of those guys I actually looked forward to coming to class. They made me feel like one of the guys. Marcus was a great guy. I wish his family all the best.
