Marcos brought an abundant amount of joy and happiness to everyone he came in contact with. He always welcomed family and friends with a big hug and smile that would light up the whole room. On July 23, 2022 Marcos was blessed with a gorgeous baby girl, Brielle whom he loved tremendously.

Marcos had just graduated from Rocky Ford High School in May. He was looking forward to attending Otero Junior College for welding. He had just started working at Lewis Bolt N Nut with one of his best friends, Tino Torres. In Marcos's short 19 years of life he lived it to the fullest. He was always the life of the party. He was well known for his boxing career. He loved fishing, being with family and friends, dancing with his sister Jammie on the weekends, going to the gym with his brother James, taking his dog "King" for a walk. He loved going to his sister Carol's house and spending time with her family. Especially his niece Anjelica. The love and bond they had for each other was unbreakable. Marcos's love and care for his family and friends was genuine and never ending.

He was definitely a one of a kind son, grandson, brother, dad, nephew, cousin and friend. Marcos will be missed by many and will always live on through the memories we have of him and will never be forgotten.
