Mr. Marcus Keith Morris was born Oct. 4, 1969, to Mr. Jackie Robinson and the late Ms. Verrian Morris.

Marcus was a very hard worker. He was a friend to many. He was very motivational when you needed it. He knew just what to say to lift you up if you were down. He was one of a kind. Marcus truly will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
