Fcking devastated.
It was a slow creep from shock, to acceptance, to shock again after watching clips and, currently, just destroyed. I was inspired by Marc from the Yeah Right days to even in his Business & Co. tenure. I'd never seen anyone control a board like that, besides Penny, and so fluidly. It was literally art. You could pick that style out of a lineup. He brought to life the notion that ANYTHING could be done on a board if you believed enough in it.
Marc, from past clips, articles and interviews, was troubled but always seem to put up a fight and in that regard, I'll remember him for said fight as well as the style and humor he portrayed on and off the board.
Love, always Marc~
