Obituary
Marcus was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on May 29, 1994. He moved to Niagara Falls at the end of June 1995. In Niagara Falls he attended Orchard Park Public School, graduating in 2008, and A. N. Myer Secondary School, graduating in 2012. In 2013, he graduated with a Mountaintop Certificate from Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, Ontario. After that, he lived in Bolton, Ontario where he was an apprentice carpenter and also an Intern Youth Worker at the Bolton Alliance Church. In 2017 he headed West to enrol in the Adventure Studies program at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., earning his Adventure Guide diploma in 2019. He then moved to Squamish which quickly became his home.
He did rock guiding and mountain guiding in Whistler and Squamish, taking many courses and rigorous practical exams, earning certifications as Apprentice Rock Guide and Apprentice Alpine Guide. He also worked as an avalanche safety consultant. When not working, he explored mountains all over Western Canada and the Western U.S. During these activities he met a large number of passionate climbers who became among the greatest friends of his lifetime.
He always carefully assessed snow, ice, and mountain conditions before undertaking any climb; yet on Nov. 11, 2023, on the way down from another successful climb in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, he was caught in a sudden, unpredictable avalanche and was killed. He left us far too soon, but he died doing the thing he most loved. He will be mourned by many colleagues and good friends in the climbing community, as well as by a host of friends from his school days, from the various churches he had attended or worked in, by a large number of beloved uncles, aunts, and cousins, and above all by his parents, Cameron and Frances Wybrow, his sister, Julia Wybrow, and his girlfriend Laura Stilwell.
Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life at The Gate Church Café this Saturday, November 18 (6009 Valley Way, Niagara Falls, Ontario). A visitation and light lunch will be held from 10:00-12:00, followed by a Celebration of Life service from 12:30-2:00, after which a brief committal will take place at the Fairview Cemetery (4501 Stanley Avenue, Niagara Falls, Ontario). Everyone is welcome go back to the Gate Church Café following the time at the cemetery for more visiting. People are welcome to attend whichever part of the day they can. In light of Marcus’s easygoing nature, dress as casually or formally as you wish. There will also be a later Celebration of Life for Marcus in Squamish. More details will be available soon.
