Born on October 24, 1996 in Olympia, he was the son of Joy Feist, Don Feist, Kabe and Elizabeth Hampton, along with many others who loved him like a son.
Marcus was handsome, sweet, loving, light-hearted, and hilarious. You'll never find a better friend. He gave the best hugs and loved everyone no matter what. He lived his life without fear, which showed in his many adventures and his outgoing personality!
Marcus was an amazing guy! He always had an open heart and a helping hand. He often stopped on the side of the road to help someone who was broken down or to make sure help was on the way, whether it was pouring down rain or not. He would wave, honk or stop to chat with neighbors and community members.
Sports were a large part of his life. He forged unforgettable bonds with his teammates and coaches. In his own words, "Sports have always been an escape for me." He enjoyed playing football and basketball, but he absolutely loved baseball. When he was 12 years old his team won the Cal Ripken World Series in Boston. He helped his high school baseball team bring home the state championship his senior year. Marcus was recognized as the top punter in the 2B classification for the state of Washington his junior year. He also spent time volunteering with the youth basketball program. He was a positive role model and very highly thought of by the kids.
Marcus had a very social, fun loving personality and a contagious smile. He managed to keep in touch with family and friends, checking in, giving advice and compliments. He had a true gift for uplifting others - a beautiful soul everyone needs in their life. Marcus had an adventurous spirit, he made everything fun! Never a dull moment with Marcus!
Being a big brother was something Marcus was very excited about! He loved his siblings, Parker Feist and Blake Hampton, very much and supported them every chance he had.
Marcus was an animal lover since he was a young boy. He loved watching shows and reading books about them, then talking to everyone all about the fun facts he learned. He took pride in training his dog Myla. He often took her to work with him, to the river, pretty much everywhere he went.
