My husband and I are so so sorry; we went to beacon 70 last night and learned of Marcs’ sudden passing. We always loved being served by him such a pleasure; Friday’s he would work the front bar. Our fondest memory was on January 3rd 2020 we came into Beacon sat down we were so excited, Marc hey guys how’s everything, we were just so happy our new grandson was just born. Marc says “ congratulations that’s wonderful”. Then we told him yeah, 9lbs 8oz, and he says “ wow big boy congrats”. Then a few minutes later he mixed us up a congrats drink on him, and said “ enjoy that new baby”. Marc was truly a genuine good guy, he will be missed tremendously! With love & our deepest condolences, Bob & Karen Linton

I still can’t believe all this. It feels so unreal, almost impossible..I’m still waiting to wake up soon from this horrible nightmare.

I’m thinking of you and all our memories, trying to realize that this is all true, and I can straight away see your beautiful big smile while serving us drinks and food at your bar back in April, feeling proud and happy of having us there and making sure we were enjoying every single moment we could. I was sitting there, watching you in the place that became your new home, surrounded by all those people that with your love you made become your big family and wished that that moment could last forever. I will never forget that feeling, it was pure happiness and love. I feel so lucky and proud of being your cousin, you are one of the most loving, caring, generous, loyal and funny person i know. Your attention to details for the people around you, your unique and amazing way of showing them your love and your willing of enjoying life day by day as much as you could (even though life was a bit tough on you), always thought me a big lesson.

I will never forget all this and a lot more, Marc. You’re one of a kind and I will bring you in my heart forever.

Love you immensely Cuz.

We will forever be 7 grapes.

Still can't believe it. My heart is bleeding.

Everytime I think of u I will see that gorgeous and contagious smile of yours....the pure expression of your huge heart and great humor that made everyone happy. I will never forget all the teasing that occured when we were together and how u were so attent to details, in the good and in the bad, always ready to support and bring a smile or relief. Distance has never had an impact on the unconditional love that reigns in the Espo family among all of us. Good grapes come from strong trees with deep roots. You will always be in my mind and my heart. Look over all of us and give us the strenght to continue our lives especially your parents and sister. Love you forever. Rosa.

I will miss you so very much Marc. I was honored to be your Godfather and sponsor for confirmation. You gave me so much joy when you asked me. Zia Vera and I loved you so much. I will never forget that beautiful smiling face of yours.

I still remember the day you were born. At 14, I didn’t even like children at the time, but boy did I love you. Who wouldn’t, with that faccia indisponente (as Aunt Vera would say). I didn’t even mind when you used my bed as a trampoline and made a mess in my teenage girl room.

Our ages finally caught up, and I enjoyed chatting with you often. I can still see you making me a chocolate martini in my kitchen years ago, as a new Mom I sure needed that!

I will miss you more than you can imagine. Distance never made me love you any less.

Your “cuz”

Dear Lou, Roe and Jessica: We are so very sorry to hear about Marc. Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with you. May God give you strength during this time. The Aldiero’s, Joe, Camille Michael and Nicholas

I can't believe you're gone, that this task had to concern you.

You are so full of life, love, dreams, hopes and sometimes even anger.

You who show your sensitivity with all those tattoos.

I will always carry with me the sweetness of your smile and the "Esposito" way you had of making fun of me.

I will always keep within me the memory of the magical Christmas that we spent together years ago and that united us indelibly.

Down here I would miss you in an unbearable way.

But we will always be the seven grapes.

Have a good trip Cuz, I don't know when but I know we will meet again.

Love you ❤

Francesca

I still cannot believe it...the memories of the few days we spent together in the last April will be forever indelible in my mind.

Here I want to tell one of my favorite memories that dates back to 2008, when I came in the US with my family.

I remember a night at your parents home, after everybody had gone to spleep, you decided to have a night snack all together. So, we went to the supermarket in the night with your car to buy some delights (ice cream, cookies, whipped cream...) and then, when we went back to home, you prepared the best banana split I ever had. It was such special not for its taste, but because in that moment everything was just perfect: we were there with you, we had a lot of fun, we ate a lot of american stuff that in Italy we don't have, but the main reason why it was such special, was for the big heart and the passion you put in that banana split, because I knew that your wish in that moment was only to spend time with us and to live a special moment that will never forget.

bye Cuz.

You will be always with me

We will be always 7 grapes.

So very often it was said to us that there “are no words” ..... and for the most part Geno & Rosaria it still is true ..... we pray you feel God’s very presence with you right now ..... and our love and poor prayers ..... in the time ahead we’ll talk awhile ..... always, Dcn. Larry & Jodie

The last time we spoke was on Facebook talking about old times in the gym. You always looked like a stripper jumping off the trampoline to the pole and spinning with one arm. We had great times at Twisters and I thank you for that. My condolences to family and friends of Marc. He was a great person.

My deepest condolences to you all. I met Marc while he was bartending at Due Amici and quickly became friends. He will be missed and a bright light taken too soon. May you take comfort in knowing how incredibly loved he was.

Mark was a very loving and good young man dear to all who met him. I have known him for the last many years. May his sou rest in peace peace. Prayerful condolences to his dear parents Deacon Gino, Rosaria and Sister Dr. Jessica.
