I was a classmate of Marco's from Crockett High School. We just celebrated our 20 year reunion and was extremely sad to hear about his passing. We had classes together and both played soccer for Crockett, too. Always remember his infectious smile and the way he always made you feel like family. So sorry for you loss. He was a beautiful soul

Hi Tony and family I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all. Cherish the memories and good times. May you all find peace and comfort with God he is with you. We know not why but we can lean on God through these times.

I still remember playing soccer with Tony at the linguistic center in Duncanville, like it was yesterday. Rest in Peace old friend.

Hey, Tony... and family... Let us forget our failings and remember everything good and beautiful about us. I only met Marco, a couple of times, over at our office. I know he had been struggling but he had a great smile and deep down, I knew he had a wonderful heart. He spoke with eloquence and was looking forward to new adventures. Love and Kindness are our gems in this world and beyond. Marco was a gem. 

Fly high Little Tony.  So many fond memories all circled around your bright smile and trucks.  Happy to have connected again  20+ years later - way to brief but meaningful just the same.   Love and best wishes to your family.

I did not know Marco personally just knew his dad Tony from work. His dad would come to work and tell us about the latest creation his son had come up with and how delicious it was! The joy and love for his son would shine through! So sorry Tony for you and your family’s loss. 

I worked with Marco at Ruth’s Chris in Bellevue. Marco made work more fun. Even when we were getting crushed at work, he had such an easy and happy attitude. I would be running around like a crazy person stressed out and Marco would pass by with his calm, cool smile and call me Terradactyl and I would laugh and then everything felt ok. There was no one who disliked Marco - he was friends with everyone. There are so many people who are going to miss him, even those of us who drifted apart with time are missing him right now. He was a great person and friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working with Marco at Jasper's in The Domain. 

My condolences to the family. I knew Marco from Round Rock. We use to talk about food all the time. I am a chef as well. So sorry to hear this. Once again, my condolences. 

Marco was more than a cousin to me he was like the brother I always wanted. He was very gifted with smarts, athletic ability, personality and a genuine kind heart.  I have so many great childhood memories of us playing outside, making home videos, getting into mischief! And then when I got older I was lucky enough to live with Marco for a year in Austin where he showed me the ropes and introduced me to everyone he knew. Even after I moved from Austin he always kept in touch with phone calls and texts and I was grateful I got to visit him in San Diego and Seattle when he was working out there. I’m thankful for everything he taught me and all the times we had together. To my Villarreal family I love you all so much you are all in my prayers.
