Marcus A. Shipman

I just wanted to leave my condolences and a comforting scripture. John 5:28 reads- 'Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." This speaks of a resurrection of our dead loved ones. I know you don't know me but you and the family will be in my prayers.

It was not God's purpose for humans to suffer or die. When you get a chance visit http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/our-suffering/. This site brought me so much comfort when I was going through my hard time.

Marcus and my son used to work at Auto Zone together, and Marcus was always so polite and friendly.  My husband always enjoyed speaking with him during our many visits to AZ.  It was a total shock to our family to hear of Marcus' untimely death.  Our prayers of peace go out to his family as they deal with his difficult, hurtfull loss.

JERRY...to you and your family, I would like to convey my heartfelt sympathy at the loss of Marcus...I just cannot imagine the heartache and saddness you must be feeling...I am not sure what words of comfort I can express as I do not understand the loss of such a young man with so much life to live and so much love to give...It sounds like he was a real blessing to so many and a man that will never be forgotten...I guess we find comfort in the knowledge that someday we will again be united with those loved ones that have gone before us...They will be waiting for us with open arms...welcoming us home...PleaMase accept again my sincere sympathy...MARY

       Marcus is an amazing friend, brother, father, son, and nephew.  Kylie and I have known you and him for many years.  There are many memories that have been made, shared, and most importantly, NEVER FORGOTTEN!  It is a horrible thought to think that in person he may not be with us any more.  However, he will always be watching over his little brother.  He will always wish you the best, and his girls.  We are very sorry we cannot be there to support you and your family on this day.  Both of us send you OUR LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND DEEPEST CONDOLENCES!  We wish you all the very best, and we will always remember all of the memmories that we have with you and marcus.  His life will always be cherished, and shared.  For him this is not an end but a NEW BEGINNING!!!!




IN LOVING MEMORY,

Jerry-you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Angels hover all around, you never know where they'll be found. Angels hover oh so near, they lean and whisper in your ear. Angels wrapped you in their warm embrace, they have taken you to a better place. My dear friend, I will miss your laughter, your smile, you jokes, and your teasing. I love you dearly. Rest In Peace my friend, until we meet again.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you.  2 Thessalonians 3:3

To my beloved nephew and family,   Today as I sat here teary eyes and reflect on the joy and happiness that your mom and I shared  with the birth of our dear twin boys (her grandsons and she used to tell people that I was trying to take her grandson) I am deeply hurt and sadden that Marus had to leave us earthly so soon. I do find comfort in knowing that God is rightous and awesome in His works. Marcus has completed his purpose and plans in this life and God has graduated him into a more perfect life with my beloved sister who I truely knew loved her some Jesus. Adrian, Beverly, Micheal, Brandon, and Myah. Marcus will always be a complete part of your life and trust Aunt Betty, God promise is true He will not leave you or foresake you now in your time of sorrow or ever. I love you all and is there in spirit, heart, and mind. LoveAunt Betty.

Your family, especially the girls, are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are looking down on them and keeping them safe. You always did love kids. There won't be a day that goes by that I won't think of you. I'm glad you were a part of my life.
