Fellow bikers and brothers

    Anyone who spent time with Marc had his or her time well spent. I just got off the phone with Special K, one of the original bike Talk members and we swapped stories, Laughlin, Sturgis , Springerville AZ, Kanab, UT , riding the Coronado Trail, all that stuff, had some laughs and yes, a few wet eye moments. It had been a while since we talked and here's Marc setting up another ride or get together for us. I guess that just who he is. I remember riding north up 191 thru Monument Valley up to Moab when we left the last Bike Talk ride. we rode hard and fast, up thru Moab, on our way to Ogden UT for the night before we split up and he went west and I went north. I had been thru Moab a few times but I never had the time to really explore the parks. I've since addressed that concern and have visited Arches National Park a number of times. One of my favourite places on the planet is up overlooking Delicate Arch at sunset. We're going there again and I'll hike up the path and I'll watch the sun set only this time, I'll be looking for the first star and I'll make my wish and I wish that Marc is enjoying his time up in heaven. God Bless you Marc and thank you

    There are no words to express what this loss means to all who knew him. Marc was a good friend and meant so much to me, the Bike Talk family, and those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

    Marc was not only a long time supporter of this forum, before and after its big move many years ago, but also was a dedicated forum moderator who helped me keep things going. Marc helped watch over this forum as if it were his own baby and devoted over a decade to the forum. His contributions to the forum, members, and fellow bikers always went above and beyond, and my biggest regret is not being able to thank him one more time.

    I'll miss you my brother, may you ride in peace.

    Never had the oppurtunity to meet Marc or talk in person, wish I had . From posts he was a person of GREAT quality and will be a great loss to his family foremost and secondly to his friends. A good life can end at any time, live it till the end with peace and dignity . Wish I had more words of comfort to family .

    Been off the grid for over a week..........so sorry to hear of this. May he rest in peace, and may his family find solace that he is no longer suffering, and that he made such a great impact on so many lives. Ride free, FLHT!

    I used to ride with the Patriot Guard and I don't know that I have ever seen a turnout like this one. It is a testimony to Marc's life and his contribution to his community. We need to keep Marc's family in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Marc.

    The one thing that really stood out for me was Marc has a 100 Annv. springer softy that is absolutely beautiful Mad Dog led the procession with the bike and had the passenger pegs down and the back rest installed .if that don't tear you up nothing will.Very powerful he went in style.
