Marc will be missed dearly by many nieces, nephews, cousins and the Manitoulin Community.
“Marc was best known as a patient, humble servant. His love for Jesus was shown in how he cared for his family and how he helped anyone in need. He was fun-loving and took delight in an endearing tease. He loved sailing, all kinds of building projects and a good strong cup of coffee. Marc said he was blessed to serve, and for this he will be remembered most.”

My heart aches for Lianne, Marc’s wonderful wife, and his kids. I grew up with Marc (and Lianne) in a tight knit community in Barrie (Barrie CRC), and Lianne from Toronto District Christian Highschool. Marc was truly, one of the most amazing people I have ever known. Just wonderful. I wish I could convey how great he was in this little paragraph, but Marc was the funniest, most caring, gentle, loving person, ever.
