He was born on September 12, 1976 to Ronald M Wood Jr. and Sandra Wood. Marc came into this world full of energy and that energy lasted throughout his life. At a young age Marc developed a love of the outdoors. He enjoyed going camping, hunting and fishing with his dad and family. In his adult years his love of the outdoors continued as he enjoyed doing those things with his friends and family. Marc enjoyed riding horses and was super excited when his dad purchased a wild mustang. He spent many hours with his dad training this horse and they both enjoyed this adventure together.
Marc was a great story teller. He always had stories to share and was very animated when telling them. One thing Marc would say is that he was 10 feet tall and bullet proof. He often referred to himself as an outlaw. Marc loved country music, country dancing & football.
Marc was named after his father and grandfather and took great pride in his family name. He was super happy and proud to have a son to carry on the name! Marc also decided to learn the family trade and became a Master Arborist. He worked closely throughout the years with his father, uncles and brother. One of Marc’s favorite things to do was to spend time with his dad, brother and uncles reminiscing about the past and enjoying one another’s company. When all the Wood men get together the conversation gets really loud as they each try to talk over one another to get their story in and be heard. It didn’t help that daily they had to speak loud enough to be heard over their chainsaws and because of their trade, they suffered some hearing loss.
Marc has always had a big heart. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone and would often do random acts of service for family, neighbors and even strangers. Marc gave the best hugs and would always greet you with a warm smile and hug. Family was everything to him. He enjoyed being with his family and helped to create many lasting memories.
Marc’s greatest blessings, pride and joy came in the form of 3 angels. His children, Alexis, Miley and Mason are his everything. He loved spending time with them! Marc was a big kid at heart and loved doing fun and crazy things with them. He loves his children with all of his heart. Marc will never be far from them as they finish their time here on earth.

Grandmother, Maxine Wheaton, parents, Ron & Sandy Wood, Sisters: Sonja (Don) Kenison, Misty (Tom) Adolphson, Melissa Josie and brother, Eric Wood, 11 nieces and nephews and 1 great niece.
