Being the youngest of three boys, Marc worked hard to earn his big brothers’ approval for all that he did, whether it was wrestling, running, skiing, or cooking. He was an accomplished athlete and enjoyed competing in Ironman competitions. He trained hard and was focused on the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle, while often enjoying the rewards of being outdoors. One of Marc’s favorite pastimes was cooking for others. Marc had a passion for ensuring others had the very best experiences. He was quick to offer help whenever anyone needed it, and he was an amazing caregiver to his mother. Marc made friends easily and maintained lifelong friendships. He was known for his grace and compassion by all who knew him. He was always ready for an adventure and took great pride in being well-traveled.
