Raised in Leesburg, Florida, he was a graduate of the Leesburg High School Class of 1987 and went on to further his education at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in Tallahassee.

Marcus was reared in the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and was a member of New Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, Tallahassee, Florida.

Professionally, Marcus worked in sales and management and is best remembered as a store manager for Heilig-Meyers Furniture Company and First American Cash Advance.

He found joy in music, fishing, swimming, and cheering on his favorite teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Braves.
