We are grateful for the many many people that attended the services. Your presence and love was felt! I wish I would’ve taken a picture towards the end of the services. The church was packed in dodger blue and the parking lot was full ! 
So were our hearts… forever grateful! 💙

We won! And I can totally hear you screaming. Te amo Gordo!

Dear Marley-Mar - I was supposed to call you today to wish you a Happy 50th.  You fought so hard for your boys. We were cashiers together, tested each other’s baseball knowledge, Dodger games together (each and every game was comedy), softball games, watching you do stand-up, and many, many phone calls reminiscing about the past and talking about our kids. You were a special friend and one of a kind. Rest easy my friend.

You recently expressed to me how you were sad about not being able to see my baby girl grow up, but I’m just so grateful for the beautiful bond you two were able to share in the short time you had together. I miss you so much. There are still so many moments when I reach for my phone or think about how I can't wait to tell you something that's happened, forgetting that you’re no longer here. It breaks my heart knowing I won’t get to hear your voice again or see you playing with my baby girl, but I find comfort in knowing that you’re finally at peace and free from pain. I know how hard you fought and how tired you were. You gave everything for your boys, and they’ll always carry your strength and love with them. You can finally rest now — you’ve more than earned it. Thank you for always being there for me whenever I needed a friend. Until we meet again, RIP💙

One of our passport pictures , excited to come and visit Dad in California.

Playing tetherball was the first interaction I had with you Marlon. Then I met your sister  Evelyn and from then on we were inseparable. We played until the street lights came on. Those are great childhood memories for me that I will always forever cherish. I’m sure you’re dancing on the streets of Gold with our God and was greeted  by your parents.  XOXOXOX! 💙

I can’t believe your gone my brother from another mother gone too soon 🥲 u made a big impact on everyone u would meet such a good person with a good heart. I cherish all the memories that we shared in over 30 years of friendship I considered you my best friend. There are many people that come into your life not many are one s u can call (real ones) and I could say that u were one for sure always willing to help anyone at any time. You made a positive impact on my family and me whether if it was for laughs with your jokes or mental support specially u being one of the most strongest hardest fighter I knew doing anything to be around for your boys. That is a stand up guy u fought hard and for along time but now u are resting in heaven telling jokes with other loved ones. We miss you and love you bro 🥲

Mom and Dad are awaiting with open arms… 
I know you are in a better place Gordo, no more pain, no more doctor visits. No more exhausting treatments… still, we ache for your absence. Though we grew apart,  I am so glad we had awesome conversations this past year. We actually laughed together. ( fine, some, only some of your jokes were funny) 
I find comfort in knowing that you had many many friends that looked after you and are now mourning . They have reached out and have shared their fondest memories spent with you. 
I promise to look after the boys , I promise to be present in their lives. 
Nos veremos junto al rio gordo! Te quiero…
Evelyn Moran - tu chinita

Words can never express how deeply saddened I am for your kiddos 😔 but I know you are resting and no longer having to struggle with dialysis and that exhausting 3x a week routine. Our birthday month is here and it was a BIG one for us you would have been 50 and me the BIG 40 😒 but I know we will celebrate together again one day. You showed me your strength and I know your boys saw it as well! We will miss all the jokes and smart ass remarks only YOU could think of 😏 My kiddos will miss our swimming and ice cream dates 🥺 rest easy and save us a seat 💐

I love you friend so much and miss you more than you will never know. I will miss all your joke and all the jokes I didn't understand at times. I will miss all our prank calling we use to do... I miss will how you always corrected my spelling (I'm not very good at spelling or grammar). I will miss asking how the boys are doing and how we were supposed to hit all the small town museums around Whittier and surrounding areas. I'll miss You asking how my husband and kids are doing. You were the only person to ever check on me. And make sure I was okay. Please hug my dad for me. Rest peaceful my friend... Love and miss you so much also Marlon...

We miss you so much. You are by far the very best friend anyone could ever have. Ever. 🙏🏼
All of the late night trips, all of the calls to check on the kids before and after their games, every time you made us smile and Every time you gave a word of wisdom or love to our family. We love you for everything you are forever.
