Marcus was an avid Saint Louis Blues and Saint Louis Cardinals fan and spent many hours at Busch Stadium in the bleacher seats.  He had a talent for drawing and writing, which he shared a love of with his granddaughter (along with his famous chicken wings and tuna salad). He watched, read, drew, and loved to talk about anything comic book, superhero, or movie related. Video games was a bond he shared with his son and grandson, and they regularly played for long hours into the night. He always gave his time and attention to loved ones, no matter what, and was always willing to lend his ear, wry smile, and infectious laughter to make others feel better. He will be sorely missed. 

Marcus was preceded in death by his mother, Marzetta Washington, his father James Larry Washington, his sister Deborah Washington, his brother Quintin Washington, his uncle John N. Nall, and his grandmother Mary Ellen Clayborn.
