Markus was my right hand man! He worked for me at Fast Gas for years and was never without a smile and that amazing laugh!! He never flinched when I asked him for his extra help. He was my friend and I missed when he left. I am proud of the work God sent him to do and know he's accomplished it, however my heart is heavy that it went by so fast. Rest easy Markus. Go Utes!!
Hans and Selma, This is Sandy @ Western River Expeditions. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Marcus. I enjoyed reading about his life and the things he loved to do. Please pass on our condolences to his wife and family.
I hate spiders!! Markus would come over and spray my yard at no charge so I wouldn't have spiders in my home or yard. He is a true friend and I will miss him a lot!! ❤️ Susan J.
I was blessed to know Markus for the time that I did. He was a person of honor and integrity. A kind and authentic man. A dedicated husband and father, never too busy to speak about his love for his family. Though I am glad he is no longer in pain, I will miss Markus, and look forward to the time I will see him again.

I remember when we were building a house and when Marcus showed up for the concrete he told us how we needed to pulls Hans aside to do "x". We never understood why until Hans talked to the cement truck driver. Every time from then out we knew the "code" and stuck with it. Oh how we laughed that first time!
We love you Mel and your family. Markus is never going to be forgotten! He is a great friend. I will miss him. So glad I got to be reacquainted with him and you in our ward!
Your family mean so much to us!
Love, The Plain Family
Melanie and Markus - Our family is so grateful for your friendship. Markus has influenced each of our lives for good. His kindness will always be remembered. He was one of the first people Keegan met at church as he taught her as a Sunday School teacher. She remembers his funny laugh and always being so happy. We will always think of Markus as we sit and enjoy our patio that he helped Adam with. He taught Adam a new skill and so willingly loaned Adam his tools so he could work on this project. We couldn't have done it without Markus' help. Even up until the end, Markus was willing to help Zac as he had to write a medical school essay for the University of Utah about uncertainty as a patient. Markus knew better than anyone about uncertainty as he battled his cancer. Zac will be forever grateful for the experience of interviewing Markus and the perspective he gained from spending that evening with him. We have many cherished memories of Markus' generosity and helping us in so many ways. We will miss his smile and that twinkle in his eye. We feel so privileged to have known him. Thank you for your example of rekindled love and devotion. We love you, Markus, Melanie, Hilary, Olivia, Ashley and Masen.
Our continued love and prayers to your family - Monica & Adam Smith and Family.
