He attended South High in Minneapolis and Redwood Valley High School. Marcus worked in the manufacturing industry and the gaming industry. He was a family man, a fun loving man, and beloved son, father, brother, cousin, and uncle. Marcus was the kind of man you wanted on your side in any occasion. He enjoyed playing disc golf and spending time with his kids, family, and friends. If it meant going broke to have fun, he didn’t sweat it. 

Marcus is survived by his father Timothy Roberts; mother Elaine Pierce; children: Chance, Makaylee, Alexis, Techa, and Elisa; grandmothers Lillian Wilson and Ardythe Smith; siblings: Jeremy, Paul, Kenny, Krista, Nokoma, Wakinyanna, and Jasmine; and many other relatives and friends.  He is preceded in death by his infant daughter Chasity and two grandfathers.
