My sincere condolences for the loss of your son, Marcus. I only met him a few times, but I could see that Marcus was a very good-natured person, full of life with a fun sense of humor. His passing is so unexpected which makes it all the harder to bear. Find peace in his memory.

My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the UConn CEIN 2023 class as you navigate this pain and grief. Rest in peace dear Marcus. You will be deeply missed.
Many of us met Marcus through his wit that emerged via chat in UCONN Nursing CEIN Fundamentals lecture. He is CEIN family and we will miss his special light.
Offering our sincere condolences from the UCONN Stamford Campus.
You are so loved and will be forever missed. Your compassion and care for others is world class, and all of my thoughts and prayers are with you and Cameron and Ryan and your family right now. Until we meet next time.
Love,
Alex
My deepest condolences to the family. Thoughts and hugs at this time.
It takes intelligence, focus and determination to complete the UConn CEIN program. Extremely competitive selection each year and totally consuming to learn the Nursing curriculum in 12 months. And Marcus was succeeding at the 1/2 point. His family should be so proud and know he would have been a great addition to the Nursing Profession. Certainly this is a loss and tragedy. My thoughts go out to his family and friends
Jake & Colleen …Words cannot express how wholeheartedly devastated Beth & I are to hear of the loss of Marcus. Know that we will be here for you for anything you need. … our prayers are with you and your family. Our sincerest condolences 🙏🙏🙏
It takes so much mental fortitude to go through what Marcus was going through, as well as being in our nursing program. It speaks volumes to the type of man he was.
Marcus you will be with us in December and most importantly for the rest of our lives.
It is with great sadness to learn of the great loss of your son and brother, Marcus.
Our prayers are with him and your family. May your fondest memories sustain you in the days to come.
