Marcus S. Baker-Halliday

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved cousin, Marcus better known as MP to the substantial network of friends and family he will leave behind. After a courageous battle with mental health, Marcus left us far too soon. His loss has left an unfillable void in our lives, and we are beyond heartbroken.

As we come together to mourn and celebrate Marcus's life, we are faced with the significant financial burden of funeral expenses. The goal of laying Marcus to rest with the dignity and respect he deserves. This includes the funeral home services, burial, and other related expenses.

We are humbly seeking your support to help offset these costs. Your contribution will not only alleviate some of the financial stress but also serve as a testament to the impact Marcus had on our lives.

Marcus's struggle with mental health was a private one, but his legacy will live on through our memories, stories, and love. Marcus leaves behind 4 children who were the center of his life who he loved them unconditionally, that will no longer have the great father that Marcus was. Take your time to keep them in your prayers.  We hope to honor his life by providing a fitting farewell, and we cannot do it without your help.

*Any donation, big or small, will bring us closer to our goal.* Your support will be a blessing to our family during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, dear Marcus. Your life mattered, and your memory will continue to live on!!
