Markus DeShaun Love

On March 5, 2020, Markus D. Love, a beloved and cherished son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend departed this life unexpectedly.
Markus was born to Angela Rose Reed (Brannan) and Arnell DeShaun Love on April 20, 1992 in St. Louis, MO.
He is proceeded in death by his little brother Nathan, maternal Grandmother, Karen, and his best “fur-friend” Louie.
Markus is survived by his mother, Angela (Johnny), father Arnell (Tonya), sisters Morgan, Natalee, Selah and Trinity, his brother Arnell Jr. and his paternal Grandmother, Diane, along with an army of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, a Nephew and many close Friends.
He graduated from Hancock Place High School, with honors, in 2010 and continued his education at STLCC @ Meramec emphasizing on Business Administration & Management.
Markus worked, throughout his young life, as a cook, landscaping and most recently as a Resident Services Coordination for Mac Properties. Markus was admired and adored by his work family. Markus was currently planning to pursue a dream into real-estate and wanted passionately to be his own boss.
Markus loved the game of basketball and was an avid gamer. He enjoyed learning different cultures, trying different foods and was absolutely in love with hot sauce.
He was a genius in writing and a lover of a variety of music. Most would describe him as wise beyond his years and truly an old soul. He was the most genuine, laid-back, gentle, and articulate going man who was loved deeply and will be missed by many.
Those fortunate enough to be close to Markus knew him for his undeniable “GQ Swag”, his humor, creativity, artistic abilities, intelligence, well-time sarcasm and his overall irresistable smile. He was a leader and many were inspired by his “realness” and looked up to him. Markus will be forever missed by his family and friends. He will be remembered for the “one of a king” soul that he embarked and was. He had a Brotherhood that will miss the good times, laughter and vibrant personality.
There will be a Celebration of Life announcement in the coming weeks.

    Markus, The Florida trip that I went with you, mom, Nat & Morgan will always stay in my memories. We had such a good time laughing, eating, being at the beach & the 13 hour drive each way.
    Your were the light in many peoples lives & I will try my best to continue that on your behalf.
    Be at Peace ❤️

    This was truly a beautiful biopic of Markus life! It will definitely be hard for all of us to live on without him … I didn’t know Markus as well as I would’ve liked, but he was very pleasant to be around when he was around! What I did know about Markus is that he was a gamer,(he played the game with my son),loved pool (also played pool w/my son), a car lover, gun lover and a family man.. I saw the father side of him when he took his little brother in & tried guiding him in the right direction..as I told his father in his passing, “he’s not alone, he’s now with his little brother again, his grandparents, and Louie ???? this is very unfortunate for us all, but I truly believe that he was too pure for this earth! God needed him more than we did.. god felt like he needed an angel to protect his family & friends..someone on earth needed a bit more protection, God saw fit that Markus was WORTHY enough for the job!! Death is never easy, but with time we learn to live and cope. I thank god he wasn’t taken from his family due to gun violence!! ???????? This is a hard pill to swallow but with prayer & support we will get through this! I will continue to pray for his parents, family & friends.. Markus love, you will truly be missed!! ????????????????

    I will forever love you as my nephew. As much as we loved and wanted you down here with us, a higher power had other plans for you. You were obviously too good for this crappy world we live in. Please watch over your mother, father and sisters. Also, kiss Nate for us all. Until we meet again

    Markus you came into my life for only what’s seems to be way to short of a time to show me what a truly good man can be. The memories we created in those months you let me into your heart into your mind I’ll never forget. I remember all the little things you would do for people to make them feel you’re love like when you brought me a whole handful of seashells back from your Florida trip last year just because I told you I loved anything from the beach. I remember too many good times from the first date you took me on at your favorite restaurant but the wait was so long we got stuffed into a corner table where you sit side by side it was the funniest thing to us. I remember you’d do anything to put a smile on my face even pop up in a polo onesie after I dared you that you wouldn’t. “This the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn, you better not tell no body that” he was so fun and ready to live life. You were taken too soon for me to comprehend our relationship but you meant a lot to me regardless. Thank you for the joy you brought to my world. Rest In Peace Markus you’ll always be missed.

    This is still a shock to me so it’s hard to sit here and write we spend 6 years together. That is a long time we had our ups and downs but we stuck together like glue. Nobody knew us like we knew each other. You were my best friend. Till this day your mom tells me you still loved me and I can believe it. As I write this I try to think of all the good times we had. One thing that sticks out the most to me is when you got me pink roses for our ONE month anniversary. It was the cutest thing to me. ???? I remember when Doobie passed away and both of us sobbing our eyes out taking him to be cremated. I held his ashes the other day and told him he will see you soon. ???? Our relationship was very personal so I will not write to much. I hope that you may finally Rest In Peace.

    Markus, Day by day I think of you

    Markus, Day by day I think of you thinking how can this all be true.
    I can’t believe you’re really gone.
    I still can’t accept it.
    Just the thought of you makes me sob.
    I never even got a chance to say goodbye.
    Every picture, every moment I don’t know if it will ever get better.
    I remember the times we spent.
    I will always smell hat for your familiar scent.
    I miss you Markus, with all of my heart.
    I wish we never had to part.
    You brought nothing but joy to the world and for that I thank you.
    You were taken from this world way too soon but one day we will all see you in the afterlife.
    I miss you bro, we all do.

    Your baby sister,
    Trinity A. Love

    Everyone has my deepest sympathy! I worked with Markus @ MAC Properties! I’m a maintenance technician @ Montclair…On The Park! He was such an outstanding young gentleman! He was just the best! He was so nice and so smart & so humble! I’m so honored to know him & work with him! He left this world way too soon! God needed another Angel In Heaven, so he picked the best! I miss him so much the place is not the same no more! “We Don’t Say Goodbye We Say…Till We Meet Again” Thank You for being in my world! Always Be Blessed!
