Shreveport, LA Wednesday, February 2, 2011 So many words come to mind when we think about Marc: kind, compassionate, patient, funny, tatented, dedicated, caring, thoughtful and loving to name a few. He was always so generous with his time to work with our daughter on any art project and was great at positively influencing her creativity. We know that Marc is no longer in pain and instead is making heaven a more beautiful place. Marc was a special, loyal, and trusted friend who we will miss greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.Donna Wilson Owens

Monticello, AR Monday, January 31, 2011 I just wanted to express my condolences. Marc had such exceptional talent, that was evident even back in high school. His artistic ability was phenomenal. I remember many fun nights working on signs for Billie football games. Of course, he did all the drawing – we were just painting in the lines! Those memories were special back then and now they are even more treasured than before. I pray that the Lord will comfort you all in the days ahead with “treasured” memories of your own.Judy Tipton

Frierson, LA Monday, January 31, 2011 My condolences and prayers to Marc's family and loved ones. I met Marc through my brother Wade. Marc was a magnificent artist, he was blessed with amazing talent. When our father passed away 5 years ago, Marc presented to us from his friendship and heart, not just flower arrangements, but true works of art and beauty. These captured the, overwhelming feelings of love and honor we felt for our dad. Marc magically created the perfect tribute. It brought us a comfort and peace that I pray his loved ones have through this time of loss. Marc may you rest in peace.Rob Sport and Lydia Gilmore

Greenwood, LA Monday, January 31, 2011 I am so sorry for your loss. Marc was a one-of-kind guy, who was just a great person. It was never about the money with Marc, it was about the kids having a homecoming dance or prom, etc. It was about having someone smile when they walked in and saw his work and the "WOW" that always followed. He had a heart of gold and will be someone that we will never forget. You could not help but like Marc! I will be praying for each of you as you deal with the loss. I pray a peace that only God can give and just surround you with His love constantly. God was ready for Marc and there is a speical reason that God chose him, even though we may not have all the answers at this time. Marc is well now and Heaven is going to be a much prettier place now that Marc is there using his gifts. God bless each of you!PAT SAVAGE
