There is almost never a day that goes by that I don't think of Marc. I feel blessed by the time that we spent together. Marc was and will always be a great friend. He taught me a lot and I will always be grateful that we are friends.

It has only been 4 months since Marc's passing. I miss him. Marc knew that if God didn't heal him that he wanted to the best he possible could to show how God was the "Comforter". I know God showed great mercy on him in his time of need. Rest in peace my beloved brother! I miss you!!!

Words cannot express my sorrow today. We just found out and are heart broken. Marc was a rare individual in that he loved and had compassion for everyone. I remember sitting in his home when he was single...knowing all he ever wanted was a family. Later, I remember sitting in his home, talking to his beautiful wife, and listening to the laughter of his darling daughters. He was such a good friend ALWAYS to my husband, Tony. Heaven gained such a great soul, but our world has such a huge gap now...that will never be filled.

Dear Ruthie, Neece, David and Scott, you will miss Marc every day of the rest of your life but you will also remember the joy of his life as long as you live. I will cherish our New York trip, the time that Marc went with us to my Dad's to look at his car and the days that we spent talking about out "boys" at Lazarus. God be with you all.

I grew up with Marc in my living room during many of my high school years. He helped me find interests in upper level classes I may never have exposed myself to. He introduced me to Journalism (I think we spent more time buying Krispy Kreme doughnuts than selling adds) and Military History (which enabled me to write my first research paper). He was a kind young man and I know he became a great husband and father. I pray for his wife, children and family to find the strength to continue on. The absence of the body brings the Presence of Christ. Marc is waiting with Christ as you continue through your life. May God comfort you as Marc's suffering has ended. Jennifer

Ruthie, Davey and Scott, I was so sad to hear the news of Marc's illness and passing. I know I haven't spent very much time with the family in my adult years, but I have so many memories of time spent together at Staunton Street, and at each other's homes as Dad and "Big Dave" played music and Jerry, Davey, Scott, Marc and I "played." When I think of Marc, the first thing that comes to my mind is his beautiful smile and the memory of his kind heart. Please know that I am thinking of you and that you are all in my prayers.

I first met Marc at Church Camp in Point Pleasant when we were just teenagers. All the girls thought he was the cutiest guy there. Later in life our paths crossed again when he came into our medical practice as a drug rep. He would brighten our day from the momement he stepped thru the door. He always had something positive to say and up lifting. He would tell us stories of his wife and girls. He was a very devoted and proud husband and father but most of all he was a christian. He will always be remembered by me with a smile because that is how I think he would have liked it. My prayers are with the family and know that if I can help you in anyway please feel free to call me. 304-633-2625 or 304-697-7000

I will never forget Marc's laughter and his smiling face. He talked about his family always. He told us one day about one of the girls eating a worm and he said that he would bring us a video of it. Here he came the next day with the CD. We laughed so hard because after eating the worm he told the girls to go wash their hands.I still talk about that video. I will truely miss Marc. I wrote to him one time and tld him if a ever had a brother I would want him to be just like Marc. He was the greatest. He always had kind things to say. It was like a breath of fresh air when we walked in the office. Everyone in the Charleston office misses him. Neece if you need anything at all place feel free to call and let me know. God Bless You and the girls Susan A

The first time I ever had the pleasure of talking with Mark he was planning to ride his motorcycle to New Mexico. And at the time my son lived there and I had not yet been able to go and see this part of the country and Mark in his kind and gentle way helped a worried Mother put her fears away as he described this beautiful part of our country to me. And through the years that he was a Drug Rep. he stopped into Dr. Savory's office where I work and he would always take the time to ask how my son was doing. I knew he was a Christian the first time I ever met him, he had that special glow about him. So to his family I remind you that those who live in the Lord will see each other again. And what a happy reunion that will be. God"s comfort to you all.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Recently, I mailed a card to Marc telling him what a special person he was. I remember him as my Sunday School Superintendent at Staunton Street...he was such a kind and understanding person. I told him that he reminded me of his PaPa. Always remember that even though Marc is no longer with you, the memories are always there because no one can take them away from you...he remains alive in your mind and that's how God can bring him back for you. Although, that's not as good as having him here alive and well, it helps to look across at the past, to look at him and know that he will be there always in your memory to be a comfort to you when you want to remember. Life is eternal and LOVE is immortal. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.

He was 15 months old the first time I saw him. His parents brought him to the Youth Camp in Point Pleasant WV where his "Aunt Sherry" which he said lovingly with his nasal twange. I married that Gal and had the priveledge to be his "Uncle Edwin" for 43 1/2 years. He was the epitomy of a gentleman and encapsulated courage that equal his "Papa Kitchen", whom I thought to be the bravest man I had ever known. I can say his Christian ethics, love for his wife and two darling daughters have give model to all men who knew him about family and God. Unequivicably he Loved The Lord Jesus Christ and his Church. I will miss him so much. I wanted to call him on the cell and tell him what a great crowd came to the funeral and then I realized he wasn't there. Our prayers and support are to Neece, Marquie and Macy. Sharon and I love you and we are there for you. All our love to Ruth, DAve and Scott. ESH

Marc touched everyone that he met and we were no exception. He took the foundation staff to lunch once and he told us how much he loved Neece and his daughters. We were so touched by his story about he met Neece. We laughed and cried with him. It warmed our hearts and we will never forget him. Please know that the family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I grew up in the same church as Marc, he was quite a few years older than me. But even as a kid I knew he was an awesome person. He was a very HuMble and sweet Man, I truley beleive people loved that quality in him. One day few years ago at the park with a group of people. Marc said to me "Jamie, I have watched you grow up and think you have one of the sweetest spirits I have ever met" I was immediately humbled. Coming from him, made it one of the best compliments I ever recieved. And has encouraged me Many times. I can just imagine Marc seating at the feet of Jesus, crying and Thanking God for all his Goodness.....My God Bless and Comfort all of the Kitchen family.

This Worlds loss is Heavens gain. Marc was a great christian, son, brother,husband and father.He loved the Lord and his family with all his heart. He was very upset to leave Neece, Marcqui, and Macy most of all. He and Don talked about their common serious condition in September when we were in Huntington. We loved Marc and loved to talk to him. He will be missed by all but his race is run while we have to continue ours before we see him again. We wish that we could be there with you but we can't. We will be praying for the family this weekend and in the future as they learn to live their life without Marc present with them except in their fondest memories. We love you all. What a reunion in Heaven with Papa, Mama, Grandma and Grandpa Boster, Uncle Everett, Aunt Zesta, David, and all the famiy that has gone before him. Love and Prayers, Don and Betty

Marc, I love you and will miss you. Neece, Marqui, Macy, Ruth, Scott and Davey, I love you all and can't imagine how you find the faith and courage to face the each day... only by the grace of God. At this moment, I remember two special memories. Number one - I remember as a child playing with my bigger cousins - Marc, Scott and Davey. They would all hold corners of a quilt and toss and spin me in the air. Number two - The last day I saw before he passed away, I came into the room and knew it would not be long. I was saddened and tried to hold back the tears. When I looked up at Marc's face he was smiling. As fragile and weak as he was he was still smiling. He always kept a positive attitude despite his adverisity. I will always remember his smile.

Thank you Becky for posting this announcement to our class. I had classes at HEHS with Marc and graduated with him in 1981. He was always funny and quite a character. It helped get through all those classes we didn't care for but had to take anyway. lol Always had to remind him I was older by just 2 weeks..lol but since we were both Libras it was OK. Reading his obituary reflects the type of man Marc was...very dedicated husband and father. It is very sad for the loss but some people are so special God needs them now. My condolences to the Kithchen family and you are in our prayers. from Southern California, Bruce Frazier

Dear family and friends: I am truly sorry for the loss of your beloved Marc. Our loss cannot compare to the marvelous celebration going on in heaven. Also, Jesus is so sweet in his comfort and the warming oil of his love can certainly be felt by all. Only those who have lost their loved ones can understand this. When someone in the Church of Jesus Christ goes to meet their Savior, we should rejoice. However, our feelings of loss is ever so present. Every time over the years that I would see Marc he had a bright welcoming smile on his fact and when he had a testimony, there would be tears of joy in his eyes. Marc, truly, was a beautiful person in outward and inner appearance. We are praying for his loved ones to be comforted. God bless, Pat Watson (Spurlock)

Dearest Neece, Girls, and Family, Please know that we are praying for you at this most difficult time. As Marc said the day we visited him and prayed with him"He is Here- I feel His presence around the bed!" He is now forever in the Presence of Jehovah". As our Bishop and his Grandfather Kitchen would always say at a time like this: "There will be another day". In that day we will see him again with his vitality at its peak, in perfect health praising his God-the Lord Jesus Christ. He was truly like a brother to me and I shall miss his contagious smile and "quiet strength". I love all of you. You are special people and a special family. I am so glad our paths crossed. May God be with you all until we celbrate that "Reunion in Heaven" "On the Sunny Banks". With Love and Prayers, Eric and Elliott

To the Kitchen family, Marc will forever be missed but will forever be remembered. I recall a time we sat on his back porch watching his girls and my little girl swim. We had tea and talked about family, God and the need to be close to God no matter what arises in our life. Marc was a living example of everything we talked about. I will miss my friend but look forward to seeing him again one day. Prayers and thoughts to the rest of the family - we love you.

I went to Huntington East with Marc. Although I did not know him well, I was always so very impressed with him. Marc was one of those rare individuals who treated absolutely everyone with respect. He always had a sweet smile on his face and a kind word for all. We have recently started planning for our 2011 30th high school reunion. I can confidently speak for all of the HEHS class of '81 when I share that Marc has been in our thoughts and prayers and will be missed and fondly remembered as we get together. God bless and comfort you in this time of loss.

My dear sweet Ruthie, I cannot even find words to express what I'm feeling. I met your wonderful son several times and could tell that he was a man of God. You did such a fine job in raising all your boys. I remember stories you used to tell me about Marc, how he had no sense of smell and funny things they all did as kids. Ruthie you have always held a place in my heart for your true testimony for Christ and your love of family. May God bless you and bring you through this with his gentle touch. May God give you comfort in knowing he is in a better place. I love you Ruthie. Michael

We were so blessed to have lived beside Marc for six years. He was one of a kind. We have so many memories, but one that stands out is when he helped build the kid's clubhouse and playground. He was right there without even being asked. He will be truly missed. He was a wonderful neighbor and father. You are all in our prayers. Love you guys! Dennis and Heather

There are no words to say that will give you comfort at your time of grief, but we know one who can hold us in the palm of his hand and he will carry us thru our darkest valley. Our prayers have been with you and will continue to be. Marc will always hold a special place in our hearts. The entire Kitchen family is very special in our hearts. We love you all.

I am at a loss for words. Marc was one of the few people that I had the pleasure of knowing that could match me tit for tat in a witty conversation. One thing that stands out is when Scott, Marc and myself went to Helvicia, WV bow hunting and we were on our way back and went thru White Sulfer Springs. We had not had a shower for 3 days his blue station wagon was covered in mud and I said that I would like to see the golf cource and hotel. Scott said there going to throw us in jail and Marc said forget that we were going in. And did. Talk about the looks we got, I thought the Vallet and Door Man were going to have a cow. To the Kitchen family our deepest condolences. Kim, Jim, Lezleigh, Lanae & Trevor.

Marc was the youngest of my four nephews. I was babysitting Davey & Scott the day he was born. I remember it like it was just yesterday. Yet 45 years later it was just yesterday that he returned back to God from whence he had come. I've always had a special place in my heart for Marc and so very proud to be his Aunt Sherrie. Marcs love for Family, Friends and all humanity was illustrated daily. His belief in God and that His will be done was so bravely displayed in his living and in his passing. life will never be the same without him. He truly believed the words of a favorite family song, "I've Got too Much to Gain to Lose." I LOVE YOU MARC, Your Aunt Sherrie

I just wanted to take a second and pass along my deepest sympathy with the loss of Marc. I work in the Charleston office and was fortunate to have gotten to know Marc and he will truly be missed by all. My fondest memory of Marc was just after I started here he was showing me some of the particulars with billing some of his accounts, one in particular I was having trouble with. He showed me what was wrong and was gone in a blink to another call. It wasn't 2 minutes until I received a call from Marc apologizing for what he thought he may have been a little hard on me, which I hadn't thought at all, but he just wanted to apologize. I was so impressed and touched that he took the time to call, when he didn't need to, that showed me just what kind of person he was. He made me feel part of the family and always had a kind word. His friends and family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I feel truly blessed to have known him. Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.
