In the short year that I’ve known you Marcos, you have shown me what an amazing friend and person looks like. I have nothing but great things to say about Marcos. From meeting him virtually through UCSD to then meeting him in person, he has had such an amazing presence anywhere he went.

Marcos was a go-getter, he was always doing something to better himself, better his future and better everyone he loved and cared about. Marcos was a unique soul and a rare friendship that I am afraid I will never find again. I remember one time we went to a bonfire with a group of friends from a data science organization and he took his midterm in a backseat of a car with a hotspot. He lived in the moment everywhere he went.

I remember another time after his shift at Starbucks we chatted on the phone his whole walk back home. I don’t even remember what we talked about but I just remember feeling so happy while on the phone and always feeling so happy when I would get off the phone with him. I never thought that was going to be the last time I heard his voice. If only I could make that phone call again and again. But Marcos was simply just carefree and full of life. I am so glad he always prioritized his happiness and his relationships because I know he honestly lived his best life while he was here. 

21 years is too young - but I know you were able to explore and travel so much during that time. You were able to meet so many amazing people and leave such a positive impact on everyone you met.

Marcos, 

We met in freshman year of high school, and over the whole duration of high school we got closer and closer even through college! You were an amazing friend, and we shared lots of great memories. It really still doesn’t feel real to me. I’ll forever cherish all the good times we had together my friend. I am grateful to have been one of your good friends. Till we meet again Marcos. 

Marquitos, aunque no tuve la dicha de compartir mucho tiempo contigo, lo único que tengo son buenos recuerdos y créame que hasta el día de hoy me siento muy mal de que hayas amanecido en el piso sin colchón y sin cobijas, la única vez que tuve el honor de tenerte en mi casa. Sin embargo, nunca perdiste tu hermosa sonrisa y la ternura que eran propias de ti, las cuales  hicieron que te admirara, por eso y mucho más me duele tu partida, pero se que donde estás puedes darle la fortaleza y el valor  que sus padres su hermano, su abuelita y demás familiares tanto necesitan para poder continuar sin ti. 

Ayyy... Mi Marquitos te voy a extrañar muchísimo Marquiños extrañare las aventuras que teníamos o cuando chismeabamos y criticabamos a todo el mundoo tu más que mi primo eres mi hermano mi confidente mi compadre mi mejor amigo, I will never for get you I lovee youuu much my Angel :) ❤

Sobrinito lindo se que estas en el reinos de los cielos, a la diestra de Dios Padre hoy hace nueve días partiste pero el dolor sigue intacto en mi corazón, te amo 

Marcos,

I'm so sad that you're no longer here. I wish we had more time to spend together. I'm going to miss eating Domino's Pizza with you, talking about Marvel movies, and your humor and kindness. Everyday you lived life to the fullest and you have inspired me to live the same way.

I remember when we all went to Sea World and had to eat the food there every hour. I got really sick of the food, but I still had a great time. I miss you so much Marcos, but I'm glad you're in a better place.

 Marquitos, thanks for the greatest holiday’s that we enjoyed with you and your family, we have the greatest memories of you as a very young boy, you definitely showed us your inner beauty. 

The most memorable day in our lives, was a Christmas Eve that you and your family brought gifts to the orphanage kids in Tijuana, you made this kids Christmas so memorable, you played with them like they were their friend for ever! We felt your love, good heart, generosity, and sincerity all around us. 

Thanks, for making every trip to San Diego special. 
We will forever hold you in our hearts. You deserved the world.
Marcos you will never be forgotten. 


Marquitos fuiste un milagro de vida para toda la familia, el tiempo que disfrutamos juntos será inolvidable. Siempre te recordaremos como un niño alegre, amable, inteligente y cariñoso que ahora estarás en los brazos de nuestro señor Jesucristo. 
Siempre estarás en nuestros corazones.

Marcos, siempre estarás en nuestros recuerdos y corazones
Gracias por todos los lindos momentos que compartimos, te extrañaremos mucho
En el cielo brillaras igual o más que como lo hacías acá 


Mi primer recuerdo de ti  es imaginarte sentado en una sillita y yo te cantaba dándote la comida siendo un bebé. Te recuerdo jugando con tu hermano en el matrimonio de Lilo. Te recuerdo entrando el primer día a la universidad. 
En todos mis recuerdos estás feliz, sonriendo, siempre servicial.   Te tuve a toda hora en mi  mente y oraciones tus últimos días de vida. 
Es emocionante leer el gran ser humano que eras, tus papás deben estar orgullosos de la gran persona que formaron.
Desde el cielo acompaña a tu familia.
 Un gran abrazo al cielo. Nos volveremos a encontrar. 

Mi Marquitos....
Me parece increible que no estés, pero solo me queda agradecerte por haber sido el niño más noble y tierno del planeta.
Gracias por haber sido el mejor anfitrión y el mejor guia y acompañante de viajes y aventuras. Ojalá te haya hecho sentir en casa cada vez que estuviste en la mía. Siempre fue mi intención sacarte una sonrisa y buscar los planes que mas te gustaban para compartir contigo. 
Te llevo en mi corazón como el niño mas lindo y tierno. Te quiero mucho mi Marquitos.

Marquitos te recuerdo cuando en el matrimonio de lilo sin conocerme y tu siendo muy pequeño se acercaste en la iglesia y me tomaste de la mano toda la misa, esa ternura y amor que siempre demostrabas, es la que llevo de ti en mi corazon, 
Ahora seras el angel.mas bello  del cielo y desde alli seras el consuelo y la luz de tu familia !!!!

Nuestro querido Marquitos, te fuiste cuando apenas asomabas a la vida y para nosotros aún es difícil entender porqué tantos sueños, planes y proyectos se quedan sin cumplir.

Fuiste tan cercano a nosotros desde la dulce espera de tus padres. Te acompañamos en tu bautismo y en tu primer día en la universidad. Disfrutamos tu compañía en casa cuando nos visitabas y querías quedarte solo por disfrutar tus arepas que para ti eran un manjar.

Sabemos que estás en ese lugar de paz, tranquilidad y amor al que todos quisiéramos llegar. A todos nosotros, y especialmente a tus padres, tu hermano, tu abuela y tíos, nos va a llevar un tiempo entender el propósito de Dios al llevarte tan pronto, pero tenemos la certeza de que con en tiempo entenderemos que desde la dimensión donde estás ahora, serás para ellos luz, compañía, y por siempre compañero de camino.

Te recordaremos  por siempre. 

Marcos,
It still pains me knowing you’re no longer here.
In the short amount of time you were with us, you have accomplished and done so much which I couldn’t have been more prouder of you. Seeing you light up and talk about your passions and goals in life was what I admired about you the most. 
I will always remember that enthusiastic and charismatic teenager that got along with everyone he met to the young adult that had a drive for success and was able to be his authentic self. 
You taught me what true friendship is, how to care, and how to believe in myself, which I cannot thank you enough for that. 
I wish I told you more of how much you mattered to me and how much of an impact you’ve made in my life, but I know I can tell you all of this when we see each other again.
I know you’re in a better place now, free from all the pain and with God beside you. 
This isn’t a goodbye, it’s more of a see you later. 
I love and miss you so much.

Marcos---

Unbelievable is the word I can truly express for all what happened to you. I can't believe after all these years of being "buddy buddy" through everything we did, it turned out like this. All the adventures we had of sleeping over, hopping movies, struggling through classes, Smite adventures and then some. My heart feels warm thinking of all those moments currently missing you. Marcos you were someone I wanted to call my brother and yet even right now you still will be apart of me close as my best brother.

It hurts, it really does too much deep down in your absence. All those regrets I have of not taking more selfies with you to not having my phone when you randomly would ask me to hang. What alleviates the pain and regret, is the idea I know your the one to never want to see anyone hurt. Your presence made everything more sound and felt there was a new journey right around the corner.

Our last moment however impromptu it might have been in the Novo Bar were we got turned up was so warming. That's what made you THE Marcos, as regardless if you had work the next day or just experienced a stressful day you made it your intent to enjoy time with your family and friends. 

Even if I never truly got to say goodbye, apart of me will never say goodbye. Your always going to be here physical or not within our hearts. I'd like to think no one really passes on unless they're forgotten and you won't ever leave my heart. You never did, never will and never even if I pass on.

Someday we will share another moment together once more with or without a nice little drink. Next time though, the drinks will be on me again! I love you so much Marcos, you were the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.

Missing You Always,
Christian 

Marcos, you were such a kind, bright, goofy light in the world, and myself and the world were so much better for having you in it for the time that we did.

I’m so happy you became part of our little Red Cross exec board family at UCSD and that you became my friend. You made putting on all of our events so much more fun with your goofy, lovable energy that instantly made any room you entered a more welcoming and happy one. Even when everything was stressful or the pandemic was being hard on us, you were still a bright light in all of our interactions, just by being yourself, and I wish I had told you this more. You were going to do amazing things and keep making such a positive impact on everyone that you met. 

I’m sorry we don’t get to talk or see each other again and that I don’t get to see the amazing things you were going to do. I miss you Marcos, and I hope you are in a better place now.

Marcos—
It’s taking me so long to understand that you’re not here with us anymore. I’m so terrified of tomorrow because it seems like the final goodbye. And I am not ready to say goodbye to you, my friend.

There are so many things I wish I can do again. I wish I checked in with you more often. I wish I waited at the airport to see you before you went to New York. My dear friend, I wish I told you….that you were so annoying! In the most endearing, lovable way possible.  I miss the way you made fun of me, always with so much love. Who can dislike you, when you bring so much positivity and kindness to every interaction?

I wish I told you to believe in yourself more often. I never understood why you underestimated yourself so much. You had so many ambitions and you were achieving them left and right. Look at you! Double-majoring, learning new languages, traveling, and being loved by so many. 

But most of all, I wish I reminded you what an amazing person you are. So many times I’ve appreciated you in silence. The way you were able to make me laugh, to listen to me, to share our growth over the years. We’ve been friends through our teenage years of insecurity and immaturity  to 20somethings going into adulthood. We’ve gone through so much change, yet our friendship was one constant that I could always count on.

You always wanted to be loved by many. I hope you know that you are. You’ve touched so many lives with your smiles, your words, and your silly little dance moves. 

How do we say goodbye to someone we’re not ready to say goodbye to? For me, it is with tears, anger, heartbreak, and so much love.

Marcos, I have always wished for your happiness— and this wish hasn’t ended. Even though you are not here with us today, you still live in the happiest memories of everyone that loved you, so so much. 

Goodbye, my sweet, gentle friend.

Marcos was a lovable nephew, he was loved by his family and friends. He loved to travel and experiencing new places.
Marcos loved to be around people, he loved his summer job working at Party City. He was always rushing out so he could be on time. He was also looking forward to work with Facebook after his internship with them.
Marcos would come to me for investment advice, I enjoyed the time we spent talking about investment . This year I worked with him to open a Roth IRA. He was so excited that he was investing for the future and I was very happy to help him, he made me very proud.
I will miss him very much, but I know he is in heaven with God. 

Hola Marquitos  es Hailey, como has estado estos días con Dios? Me imagino que muy bien y también la comida debe estar muy rica.
Bueno solo te quería decir que te voy  extrañar mucho pero yo sé que tú estás con Dios alla arriba. Y ya yo sé que tú querías ser rico en el futuro y si lo vas a hacer pero con Dios y en el cielo. Te amo mucho y nunca voy a olvidar que cariñoso, gracioso e inteligente  que eras. 
Gracias por cuidarme cuando mis padres estaban trabajando, por ayudarme con mis tareas y por enseñarme a ser la mejor jugadora de uno. Éramos un gran Team 😔 voy a extrañar mucho esos momentos.
Con mucho amor que que estés feliz allá  arriba con Dios y los angelitos 👼
 - Hailey ❤️💐💗💙

Primito, nunca olvidare aquel bebe que disfrutaba tanto de una auyama , omg, fuiste el primero y hasta el dia de hoy el unico que eh visto que saboreaba con tanta alegria una auyama y todo lo que tu mami te preparaba, imagino tu vida asi disfrutando cada instante cada momento, estoy seguro que fuiste un niño y un adolecente muy feliz, gracias tambien a los cuidados y el cariño de tus padres, donde quiera que este espero que estes en paz y siendo el niño feliz que recuerdo.  

Como dice la canción ¿Cómo olvidar tu sonrisa?, ¿Cómo olvidar tu mirada?, ¿Cómo olvidar que rezaba? Para que no te marcharas.  Marquitos, ¡¡¡te fuiste tan rápido que aún nos parece que no es verdad!!!, Agradezco a Dios y a la vida haberte conocido, y   disfrutado con Tigo momentos tan bonitos, como cuando fuiste nuestro guía en los ángeles, pero Dios decidió que te necesitaba junto a él y estas ahora iluminando el cielo con tu sonrisa. 
Primito (aunque siempre me dijiste tía), siempre llevaremos tu recuerdo con el más especial cariño en nuestro corazón, y cada noche que miremos con nostalgia al cielo y veamos la estrella más luminosa pensaremos en ti.
¡¡¡¡¡Te queremos mucho y te vamos a extrañar montones!!!!!


Te recomiendo a Marquitos Arevalo, Dios y creador del cielo y la tierra que descanses  en los brazos  del Señor quien fue el que te formó, que Santa Maria y los Angeles y todos  los Santos  te den la bienvenida ahora  que ya te has ido de esta vida  y este mundo, que Cristo quien fue crucificado  por ti te traiga  libertad  y paz.  Que Cristo quien murió  por ti te admita en tu jardín del paraíso,  que Cristo el verdadero  pastor, te abrace como uno de tus  rebaños, que El perdone todos tus pecados y te coloque  entre  los que ha elegido,  y que tengas paz y descanso  para  siempre  querido  sobrino, por Cristo nuestro  Señor  amen.

Dear cousin,

I still can't believe I'm writing this, there was so many things waiting for you out there.  It's really hard to understand the fact we can't have another moment, Bday, simple family gatherings. 

As you were growing we started getting closer, you become a mature young adult and we staring having more things in common as we once thought. I'm glad you trusted me personal things that were important for you and I'm happy you enjoyed your short life really well... I wish you could have live longer to keep sharing great memories. 

I'm really missing you a lot,  and I'm sorry we couldn't have the party we always talked about. That place that you and I never mentioned, but we both knew where it was.

You will always be in my heart and we will see each other in another life darling. 

Love,  Alejo 


Marcos, you came into my life when I was at my lowest in college, ready to give up on data science and switch majors. But you came in and push me to continue to pursue data science. You were always there for me to rant about stressful classes. I would share internship and job applications with you because I needed your positive energy to submit them. We would always share our goals with each other and motivated each other to pursue them. I know you not only inspired me, but everyone you encountered. 

Our friendship was short, but one of no more meaningful ones. I always looked forward to hanging out with you cause I knew that we were all in for some great memories and laughs. You always lit up a room with your positive energy. I will always remember your inspirational words and the memories and laughs we shared. Te extrañare mucho

Marcos, you were such a special person, and I wish I told you more how much I love and appreciate you. You were my rock all throughout our years at UCSD, and I wish so badly we could’ve gotten to graduate together. 

You were always the type of person who could bring everyone together, and I’m going to miss our weekly hangouts and spontaneous sleepovers. The way you belted during karaoke and danced your heart away during our Just Dance games made me laugh until my stomach hurt.  You would take me out for kbbq and boba to cheer me up and check up on me just to make sure I was okay. You always showed so much love and care to me and the rest our friends, and we will forever be grateful. All of these times will always be fond memories I will always look back on. I’m so proud to call you my best friend, and I hope you know how much I love you Marcos. 

Marcos was a rare soul, he is a once in a lifetime friend to me and I’m privileged to have shared a friendship with him. His good hearted nature had been there since I met him and never changed, only grew. He had a heart of gold and was one of my most supportive friends through the good and bad. 

I first met Marcos in middle school math class. We became friends when he asked me what I got on my quiz, he didn’t really introduce himself he just asked me and grabbed my paper before I could tell him. At first I was annoyed at him because I thought it was rude, in addition he made a backhanded comment about my score being better than his. However, we kept talking and we instantly clicked. By the end of the year we had become best friends. 

We both always joked about our first interaction and how we got off on the wrong foot but ended up being friends. I think our humor was one of my favorite things in our friendship.  We would always make fun of each other in a good hearted way. 

Guardo en mi corazón tu eterna sonrisa,  tu ternura, tu ingenio y tu amabilidad. 
La tierra pierde a un ser humano maravilloso y el cielo gana una de las almas más luminosas que haya conocido. 
Envío al cielo los abrazos pendientes y le pido a Dios que el amor que compartiste con quienes tuvimos la fortuna de conocerte, continué multiplicándose cada día. 
Cada vez que pase por esa tienda donde te querías quedar a vivir cuando eras niño, pediré una de esas arepitas que tanto te gustaban en tu honor.
Te quiero hasta el infinito, Marquitos. 

Marcos Nos visito en Virginia donde tuvimos la oportunidad de poder conocernos mejor y compartir algunas experiencias conociendo varias parts de Washington DC. 
Disfrutamos mucho su compania.
❤

Marco Polo,

I remember hiring you at Party City in Rancho San Diego. While you and I only worked together for 2 months until the store closed, you had a lasting impression on me - and our entire store team. You quickly became friends with everyone you met, you were the life of the Party! 

After the store closed and you transferred to Party City Otay Ranch, we still kept in contact. I remember you saying  once you turned 21, we would go to a club together. And while we never got the chance to, I know one day we will get that chance. 

You were a great friend and we will miss you. Rest easy, and say hi to my brother Reese for me. 

Your favorite manager,

Aaron aka “Air Horn”

My beloved nephew. You left too early and I didn’t tell you that I love you. I didn’t tell you that you brought joy to my life since you were born. I can’t share your company for another lunch, another moment, another minute. There are so many unfinished plans, unspoken words, dreams that won’t become true. Just 2 months ago we were celebrating your birthday, you told me, you wanted to expend more time with your friends, and I am so happy you did. I knew I won’t see you often, but I was happy because you were enjoying life. I knew that you would continue sharing family gatherings and trips. My heart is broken because I can’t see you, hug you, kiss you… but I know you are in a good place. I miss you so much. 

After hearing the news about you, I'm still in shocked, I never thought this would happen because all though we weren't really that close, you were still someone important to us and my family. I never really called you my cousin but I still saw you as my cousin and I would always be grateful for those childhood memories that we created alongside with my brother Carlos and you're other brother Gabriel❤. I'm sure my family including me will miss you a lot but now you're in a better place and watching us from above. Te extrañare mucho primo❤😪🕊

Después de escuchar las noticias sobre ti, todavía estoy en shock, nunca pensé que esto sucedería porque aunque no éramos tan cercanos, todavía eras alguien importante para nosotros y mi familia. Realmente nunca te llamé mi primo, pero aún te veía como mi primo y siempre estaría agradecida por esos recuerdos de infancia que creamos junto con mi hermano Carlos y tú otro hermano Gabriel❤. Estoy seguro de que mi familia, incluyéndome a mí, te extrañará mucho, pero ahora estás en un lugar mejor y mirándonos desde arriba. Te extrañare mucho primo❤😪🕊


Marco escribirte es como arrojar un mensaje en una botella al inmenso océano.
Hay despedidas que no alcanzan al otro, te fuiste  Marcos casi sin avisar, te fuiste para siempre, no te dio tiempo a preparar el equipaje, una maleta ligera, sin apenas recuerdos, veintiún años dan para poca mochila,  te fuiste sin despedirte, los jóvenes no dicen adiós, dicen nos vemos, hasta luego, tu edad no encierra nunca un último adiós.
Nos dejó tu sonrisa atrapada en nuestro primer encuentro, hace ya seis años, para ti toda una vida. La vida fue amable contigo, te moldeó en la alegría, y te regaló una familia y una madre única como pocas he conocido.
Hace un mes apenas, viajábamos con tus padres por las tierras castellanas, intercambiando lugares, ellos California nosotros Ávila, charlamos contigo y te vimos guapo, brillante, alegre, cariñoso...Y nos dijimos lo mucho que nos queríamos, cómo imaginar que aquella seria nuestra última mirada compartida.
Hay despedidas solitarias, donde quedamos solos nosotros desamparados en esta orilla, con la mano abierta en un gesto frente al inmenso océano de tu ausencia. Es como arrojar una botella al inmenso mar del universo y espero Marcos, que la encuentres en la otra playa y leas el mejor de nuestros deseos y un día volver abrazarnos.
Te queremos.

The sweetest boy ever. It has been the greatest honor to have witnessed your smile, your kind soul, your intelligence, your silly dance moves, your warmth, and everything in between these past 6 years. Sending heartfelt thoughts, prayers, and hugs to the bereaved family. We love you so much Marcos, till we meet again. 

Dear Marcos, 

We had Japanese class for 3 years. I called you" ringo" ( apple) since it was the only word you remembered. After we graduated high school we still kept in contact. It was fun visiting you at UCSD. I also visited you when you were working at Party City and you got me boba after your shift. I will remember these fun memories with you. I will miss you a lot. Rest in Peace ❤

He was my Shaggy to my Scooby when we dressed up senior year. He was my cheerleader whenever I performed for the dance team. He was my hype man and such a close friend that the loss is so profound.
