To the Tillis family, I send you my thoughts and prayers. Marc was a great friend to many. I also met Marc at Jason Lee. He always had a smile bigger than life and a helping hand. May God Bless You.

I was so sad to hear about Mark. My prayers are with you.
I have known Mark since 1979, thru John English and have a lot of fond memories of him. I remember many a nite playing cards (mostly spades) and he was always trying to kick our butts, and did many times.
His laugh always brought a smile to my face. I will cherish the memories I have of him and will miss him, a lot.
He was a true friend and would always be there if needed.

I am saddened to hear of Marc's passing. The room always lit up when he arrived at our gatherings during high school. May God bless him and his family.

I am very sad to hear about Marc's passing. I attended Jason Lee Jr. High School and Stadium High School with Marc. Although Marc and I were not close friends, the thing I remember most about him is that he was always friendly and kind towards me. It was always a pleasure hanging out with Marc at school and elsewhere. Marc had a great sense of humor that frequently had everyone around him cracking up. In fact, just hearing Marc's infectious laugh was about all it took to get me and everyone else laughing along with him.
After high school and college I only ran into Marc about every five or ten years at class reunions, but when I think back on my years at Jason Lee and Stadium, Marc is one of the people that invariably and fondly comes to mind. I know this will always be the case for me.
I was blessed to know Marc, as were many others.
My sincere condolences to Marc's family and to everyone who knew and loved him.

I have known Marc since Jason Lee and Stadium. I was very sad to hear about his passing. I will always remember Marc as the kind of person that could always bring a smile to my face. When he laughed everyone knew it was him. He always had a kind word for everyone at school and was well liked and loved. The class of '75' has lost to many people already. Marc....I will see you at the reunion up above....##imported-begin##Malcolm Mckenna##imported-end##
I first met Marc at Jason Lee Jr High. He was a funny, sensitive guy that always had a smile on his face. Marc and I went on to Stadium High School together where he was loved by many of our classmates.
I feel that our class was and is a terrific group of friends that will remain loyal to each other forever.
To the Tillis family, my sincere sorrow for your loss. May Marc rest in peace.

I am saddened to learn of Marc's passing. I've lived in Colorado for many years now but I had the pleasure of running into Marc on a couple visits home. My experiences with Marc were "back in the day" when there was no shortage of good times. Marc's laugh was loud and infectious! I have many fond memories of my times with the gang Marc, John E, Greg W, and a host of others. Of particular note was a costumed outing (Was "close" to Halloween but NOT Halloween) packed in Marc's van for an evening's road trip. Marc was dressed as a woman and if you did not know Marc, you would have thought he was a woman. We laughed out loud every time we looked at him. As was the norm, our outing lasted into the wee hours and I think Marc grew a bit tired of our attention to his costume; which made it just that much better. Marc was a great guy with a big heart. I'm glad that I got the opportunity to spend time with him. To Marc's family and the gang, my condolences.... My thoughts and prayers will be with you all. - Mark Peterson 303-324-7061 [email protected]##imported-begin##Mark Peterson##imported-end##
