Marc was a very special person. He always had a smile and a kind word to say. Love and hugs to Esther, Loralee, Erica and Courtney and the grandchildren. Cherish your memories.  Charlotte

To Esther - My favorite memory is the night we were playing board games at Janice's - always brings a smile to my face- he was a great guy! Hugs to you and the girls and their families.   Charlotte

I will never forget Marc's kindness to my niece Theresa when they worked together  at Cornwallis.  He  was her best friend. When she passed away he was a great deal of support to the family. Hopefully they are reunited in Heaven.  Marc was one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever met.  RIP  Marc.

I only just learned of Marc's passing. Belated condolences.

Marc would be a cousin by second marriage to me, and a friend by kindness' he generously shared.

When I was a teenager, living with his mother and an uncle, I had many occasions to speak with Marc. He always listened carefully, and then thoughtfully offered his counsel. 

Later, after my own father, John D. Head, passed (whom Marc knew mostly from the Cornwallis Park where my father had retired to), Marc reached out to me to talk about my (late) grandmother Edith Head's old farmhouse in Barton. It was nice to be in touch, and we exchanged emails. Marc asked if I would be interested in the old place...but Life had brought me to other corners of the world...regardless, it was the sort of consideration you would expect from Marc. He knew I had a history there that he understood was significant to my past, and he was respecting that connection.

When I think of Marc, I recall his youth. I remember him at Irene's, on holidays and festive occasions, where we enjoyed some fine rappie pie and good company. I recall his return from Ontario - a life-changing period for Marc.  I recall his compassion and quiet, despite adversities that Life challenged him with in his youth.

Marc died young. Yet he lived well in the eyes of those who knew him, and in the experience of his community.  Marc was a giver. 

Our relationship was perhaps small, however he touched my life as did he so many others. My memories of him are of his kind nature. Rest peacefully, Marc.

Our Deepest Sympathy to Esther and all of the family.  Another great person taken away, way to soon.  Mark will forever be in our heats.  Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you all. RIP Mark.

Pastor Marc was a lovely man. We currently live in Pennsylvania and my Dad’s was born in Digby as John Turnbull. We visited our friend Deb Pyne Young between Christmas and New Years a few years ago. It was a wonderful experience especially because of Pastor Marc, he was so very gracious and his sermon was so appropriate for the time.  Meantime Deb has spoken of him with such love and respect. We are back in Nova Scotia this fall and so looked forward to seeing him. He will be sadly missed ! Our deepest sympathy to Esther, their daughters, son in laws and grandchildren. 

Esther, my sincere sympathy to you and all the family. I always enjoyed meeting you two when Marc relieved as pastor at churches where I played.  He preached a good sermon! God's blessing on you at a difficult time.

On Behalf of Beverly and myself we send our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to the family and friends. May God cover you with his peace.  Pastor Noel

On behalf of the  Mackintosh family, I would like to extend our condolences to Marc's loved ones.  Marc was truly a remarkable man, and a great friend.  He cared for people deeply and spread peace and faith wherever he went.  His sweet disposition served him well in whatever endeavor he undertook. He exemplified the saying, " Be the person, you want them to remember." Rest in peace Marc.  We will remember you always.

Sincere condolences from all his girls :(

I remember Marc well from the classes I was privileged to teach when he was taking the Lay Pastor Program! He always added a lot to the discussions and classes and his love for the Lord and others was very evident! 
My thoughts and prayers are with Esther and family with his passing! Our hope in the Lord brings comfort and promise of seeing Marc again in that eternal home! May His Spirit comfort you in the loss and sorrow you feel, and may you know that others are lifting you up in prayer!

Sending my deepest and heartfelt condolences to Ester and all the family. Losing a loved one is never easy. We have memories. Celebrate him always. God loves us all.

My sincere condolences to Ester and all of Marc's family. The world has lost a gentle man. RIP Marc. 

Esther, Lorelei, Erica, Courtney and Families,
Sending sincere condolences and prayers to you all. Marc was such a kind and well loved person and will certainly be missed by many. He is now at peace.

Sorry for your loss,I spoke with Marc whenever i met up with him ...such a gentleman and knew how wise he was! 



Knew Marc from waaaay back in grade three at the old Red School when my family returned to Digby in the 60's.  While we were never best buddies growing up and through all of school, we were friendly and I always knew Marc to be one of those mild mannered nice guys that most everyone liked.  Too bad more folks are not like him.  My sympathies to his family and friends.


It is great sadness that I offer my condolences to Mark's family and friends.  He will never be forgotten.  His death has come as a surprise - never having heard him complain - remembering always a lighthearted spirit with a deep kindness towards us all.  Love and prayers today and always.  Sincerely with love Diane Axent

Our deepest sympathies to all of Marc's family, Marc was a valuable part of the Digby Area Theatre Society. He was kind, funny and talented and left this world a better place. Rest in heavenly peace Marc. Blessings Lenore Sweeney and Family


My deepest and most sincere condolences to Marc's family.

Marc was a wonderful man. The many times he would come to Cape Breton to visit Esther's family I was lucky enough to spend an evening or two with him. He was indeed a gentleman, very kind and that dry sense of humour was heart warming. I know he loved his girls and grandchildren very much and always spoke fondly of them. He and Esther shared a loving relationship. You will be missed by many Marc. God bless you! Love and prayers to all of your family- especially Esther, part of my extended family.

The Manzer family are with you in prayer.We appreciated his ministry to our parents in the Villa,Parker and Thelma .

To Esther and family,

Brendan and I were so sorry to hear the news about Marc.   He will be greatly missed.  May he now be at peace.

Please know our love, thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

This earth has lost an amazing human and you can be sure he will be watching over his loved ones while hes at peace in heaven.
 I have so many great memories of working with Marc. He was such a kind and wise boss and I've always had the greatest respect for him and the way he mentored me.
He tried to share his love of golf with me, even though I'd never played, it didnt matter. He always said that a bad day on the golf course beat any good day in the office! The best chats happened during those times.

My sincerest condolences Esther, Lorilei, Erica, Courtney and families. Thinking of you and praying that you find comfort in your memories. 

Our Deepest Sympathy to Esther and the family. Mark was a wonderful person to know and will be missed by all who knew him. RIP Mark.

So sorry to hear this. Marc was a great person to be around. I remember fondly working with him when my parents owned the Captain’s Cabin. Marc had patients galore! I learned a lot from him in the restaurant kitchen. There could be 2 people in the restaurant or 50 and Marc wouldn’t bat an eye. Same pace, same temperament and same speed, yet everyone got what they came for without a hitch. 

You will he missed Marc. Condolences to the family from Stew and Kelly Baxter, we both have very fond memories. 

I always thought that Marc had such a quiet strength. It was as though he knew something the rest of us just hadn't figured out yet, but he'd let us do so in our own time and our own way. I didn't know him well but I know for certain that Esther and the girls are as equally as strong and kind. I wish you all comfort  and love as you find your way through this together. 

So sorry for your passing Marc !! You  were a wonderful person  Marc !! May you Rest in Peace.

We are so sorry to hear of Marc’s passing! Such a friendly, thoughtful  man! He is with his Lord, and all his pain is gone. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family! 
God be with you all, and we pray for peace and strength! ♥️

My condolences to Esther and the girls.
 Rip my friend until we meet again on the first tee...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Esther.
