It saddens me to think the class of 2011 has lost one of their own. To those remaining behind don't let problems overwhelm you. There are people who can help and there is no shame in seeking out help any more than seeing a doctor for a broken leg. Everybody goes through tough times in this life and we can't do it alone.

With a very sad heart our family wishes to send our prayers and condolences to Marc's family and friends. My Cadet was Marc's friend and is quite sad he will not be able to be with his classmates through this rough time. The AF has lost one of its best and brightest who will never be forgotten. God Bless.
