Today you would have been 24 years old , I can't even imagine you this old although you are 1 forever in Heaven, I still celebrate this day for you . You asked where Nina was she is now with you her time came she was with me for over 16 years now its your turn to take care of , she'll remember you when se sees you.
I was thinking of the last  movie we saw "Sing2" an animated movie , I watched you as you laughed without a care in the world , that little boy inside of you happy , I'm glad I was there to see you and still picture you in my mind , I hope to see that again one day.

Today is two years since you left here,  we still count seconds,  minutes,  hours,  days and years I'm sure for you and where you are the days never end just like the love ❤️we have for you, still we continue to miss you, your laughter,  smile and just your presence can never be matched. 
Today I am filled with a mixture of emotions first I am happy for you and where you are with our Creator how can I not be happy, but at the same time selfishly I wish you were still here. It is said the Cardinals represents someone that we love that has passed coming back to visit in a different form , already today I have seen the signs by way of Cardinals, thank you Marcus for you are always with me. I love you forever my Pappdo ❤️.Grandpa Mando & Grandma Eva

2 years ago on Christmas day I kissed you on your and said "Merry Christmas I love I'll see you later" had I known this would be my last time with you I would held on to you a little longer,  but I understand now you didn't belong to me or anyone. 
You said to me on a text message days later "God has a plan for me, I don't know what it is but I'm going to follow him" knowing this brings me peace but I still miss you and so do many others that you touched while you were here. 
Merry Christmas Marcus ❤️🙏Granpa Mando

My Babyaboy I remember the first time I called you my BabyBoy you were only a few hours born. I remember going into labor and my Dad rushing me to the hospital in Arlington with my Mom where you were born. I remember when my midwife put you in my arms seconds after you came into this world. I remember going home with you and my parents and talking about how beautiful you looked and how adorable you were also how heavy you were lol something I always made sure you remembered lol I remember reminding you often about my labor and you smiling, giggling and then laughing when I wouldn’t stop talking about everything I went through but then I would look at you and smile and say but it was worth it. You were worth it My Only Son. Everyday I think of you and lately I’ve been dreaming of you a lot. I miss your hugs and kisses. Us being goofy together, laughing, crying having conversations and holding each other. I keep telling myself that you’re on vacation because it’s still hard for me to believe you’re not here. It hurts my heart hurts. Many night’s I cry alone wishing I could hug you kiss you or hear your voice. Every Holiday I remember I remember the past holidays with you but what I’ll always remember is on Father’s Day when you told me Happy Father’s Day and when I said you mean your Dad Gino you said yes him too but you Mom because you’re always been my Mom but also my Dad and you said much more that I’ll never forget that day. Thank you my handsome Son for all the amazing memories we made I’ll cherish and keep them close to my heart. I’ll NEVER forget you I’ll NEVER STOP LOVING YOU or MISSING YOU!!! R.I.P my handsome Babyboy. You’ll always be my First Love ♥️💙 thank you for never being shy to call me Mommy in front of strangers and your friends as an adult. Te Amo Con Todo Mi Corazón mi Papíto lindo Siempre y por toda la vida tu Mommy. 

Marcus,  I can honestly say I think of you every day it's not hard to do how can I not think of the one that gave me so much joy your laughter your humor your thoughtfulness your politeness, the many memories we made I cherish the limited time we had.
From the day you left I have a small light on with your picture next to it and I say good night to you every night your face is the last one I want to see before I close my eyes and fall asleep.  
You are missed by many your light still shines bright. ✨️ ❤️
Happy 23rd birthday Marcus. 🎂 
Grandpa Mando ❤️ 

Today would have been your 23rd birthday here with us and though you're not here I will continue to celebrate it , now you have 2 birthday's and I'll celebrate them both.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL MARCUS. 🙏🎉
Grandpa Mando ❤️ 

I knew Marcus for an entire year in 2020-2021.  He was so full of life and had plans to do great things.  It saddens me to know that he has passed on after just discovering on the one-year anniversary of his passing.  He was a great friend and had love in his heart for everything.  My sincere condolences to his mother and the rest of his family.  May God and Marcus be with you all.

Remember brother every day is your day no matter what but yesterday was the day that my super hero turned into my Angel I’ll always make everyday special for you💙 I love you 🤞🏽

One year without you, I had to take yesterday  off from writing this because I wanted to cherish all the moments we had yesterday and talk to you thank you for listening to me yesterday I sat next to you and wore your rosary remembering everything we did together. Many people texted me to stay strong and to remember that your safe now, What hurts the most is the pain you’ve felt for so long that now your gonna people now come back into your life and others knowing the villains and hero’s in your book we all know the truth but play it out like the pain they caused you never happened but they know they have to deal with that . I will always love you brother forever and always I’m just glad I was able to protect your name a year ago and say the words you wanted to say but you had such a good heart that you kept giving chances out thinking people will change when history kept repeating its self again and again. I’m just happy I was able to talk to yesterday and sit next to you it felt nice being able to do that again I just wish I was able to hear your voice while talking but I know you heard me 💙we always had each other and that’s what I’ll always remember we connected video games, sports, we acting alike goofiness, jokes I remember laughing so much with you I almost peed my pants. We were so much alike I was talking to the family yesterday and they all said we were alike so much nobody could pull us away our jokes we would laugh and everyone would be so confused or how we played video games oh my goodness I remember staying up late playing call of duty with you, you would get mad at me for staying in one place because it was hard to get me and I would win. I wish you could see your favorite lake that’s the one thing I’ll never ever forget is when you spend so much time with someone you love you will know everything they love and hate places, people, things, etc. Your lake has a new park and more ice cream  you went crazy over that  I know you would have loved it.

Marcus you sound and look beautiful this morning 🙂

They say the vibrant red bird is an uplifting, happy sign that those we have lost will live forever, so long as we keep their memory alive in our hearts. As cardinals sing their pleasant song, people may recall cherished memories of better times.
I was awaken this morning by your singing in the tree calling  me to come see you , it was a year ago today you left us 💔 I have not begun to heal and I don't think I ever will because your being gone is a void in my heart that can't be filled but knowing you are in a better place and safe from all the evil I do find peace in that. Rest in peace beautiful Marcus.  ❤️🙏🌻
Grandpa Mando 

I miss you more than anything Marcus, I wish you were still here. I wish I would talk to you. I wish I could speak with you once more. It’s been one year and it still feels like today when I got the call that you passed. I cherish each memory I have of us. Of you. I will love you until the end of time and time itself. 

Karen, I recently learned about Marcus and I am so deeply sorry for your enormous loss.  I cannot imagine. We shared quite a bit when you were pregnant with him and I was there with you when he was born. My heart hurts for you and your family so very much. Praying for His gentle grace as you journey through your grief. 💔

Today would have been your 22nd birthday how   I wish you could be here to celebrate with us so we'll celebrate you today.
You should still be here and I wish I knew the answer to why you're not. 
I will forever miss you and I  long for the time I can sit with you again just you and  I to talk like we did before you left  we didn't do that enough and I regret that.
Happy birthday my beautiful boy. 
🎊🎉🎂🙏❤ Grandpa Mando 






BabyBoy, my Baby, my First Born, my only Boy. Today would have been your 22nd Birthday, Happy Birthday Baby. I miss you so much. These past two months have been extremely difficult for me. I keep waiting for you call, because I got used to you FaceTiming me everyday. I keep hoping you will knock on the door and surprise me again like you did 2 years ago. I miss you, your hugs, your kisses, your voice, your laughter, your smile, your jokes, I miss all of you. I haven’t been able to stop crying, since the day The Lord called out to you that it was time for you to join him. I know you’re at peace now, no more pain, no more hurt, no more tears of pain or anger. Your Dad (Gino) and I will forever be at peace knowing you’re free of all that now. You left behind so many amazing memories baby. I’ve been watching videos of you, from different years, where you’re either making jokes, laughing, picking on your sisters hehehe, you had you very own bond with each one of your siblings. Dancing, ugh I loved to watch you dance, since you were a baby you were always dancing. I think of every birthday I had with you but the one that I’ll never forget is the one when you came into this world. 24 hours!!! Lol I can see and hear you laughing every time I would tell you how long I was in labor with you and how painful it was, but oh, how so worth it. I remember breast feeding you I remember you peeing on me the 2nd day you were born, I cried lol I remember not wanting to let you go ever. But I remember thanking God for giving me the strength to carry you and give birth to you. I never thought I would be here were I’m at now. It hurts so much a huge part of me is gone and it hurts a lot. I will always cherish every moment we spent together, every conversation we had, everything about you baby. I love you. And thank you, thank you for every Mother’s Day hug and Father’s Day hug too. I remember the first time you came to me on Father’s Day and hug me kissed my forehead and said ( it was yea

My Beautiful baby boy (Marcus). I very much wish this time without you now was nothing but a bad dream 😢that I could wake up to your calls or text messages Grammy I love you te amo mucho...! but at last this is nothing but my sad reality now a world with you. I waited for you to come home finally I thought we could heal you so  pain  and suffering would lessen with time and the hurt would go away. But God took you to his home instead 🙏 I know I will be with you in eternity one day papado...Grandma is so very sorry she couldn't always protect you. I love you till we hug again my baby boy.
Love you te amo Grammy Ramirez 

Marcus It's been 1 month since you left us and I still have that empty feeling not sure when or if ever this feeling will ever stop my guess is "No",  you filled my life with happiness, humor and wholeness which  will never happen again from you in my lifetime.  Marcus I wish I could have had you a little bit longer if I had only known you'd be leaving so soon  my heart aches like it never has before but now I wait until I get to see you, hold you and kiss you again. Grandpa loves Pappado❤


There was a time when I was maybe 8 or 9 and Marcus was 10 or 11 years old. It was a very rainy day and it was very hard to see anything because it must have been during winter on a Wednesday. We left school for school when the grandfather clock stroke 9am since school started at 9:20am, and we lived across from the building. We kept our heads low and our hoods up as we ran cross the street to the sidewalk that went right up to the school. When we were speed walking, Marcus grabbed ahold of my backpack and pulled me down behind the trash bins yelling, “Get down!” A car had sped straight over a gigantic puddle that was in front of the bins and would have soaked us wet if it wasn’t for his fast reflexes. Marcus pulled us up and looked at me asking “Are you okay?” Before we continued walking to school. He knew I couldn’t get physically hurt from the water and yet he still asked. Marcus always knew how much me getting wet from rain bothered me. It made my clothes stick and me angry. So he always kept me on the side that had the most cover from rain. Today it was raining, and as I was walking through it, I noticed I wasn’t getting as wet as the asphalt was. Even now, he’s still protecting me and making sure I’m okay. I miss him everyday❤️

I remember the first day we met and how full of love and happiness you were. I remember the first time you called me auntie, when we’d spend auntie day’s or weekends all together and how we’d talk about what you thought you wanted to do with your future. And I remember the last time we texted, and still how full of love you were. 

I wish I could have been there for you, and I wish you had more time with not just me, but everyone who loves you. 

Love you always Marcus and rest in paradise ❤️

Marcus, you were such a beautiful kid and a ham at that you loved when I would take you to get photos done. I was for ever telling you how much you looked like Grandpa especially as you aged. You're love of us will have to provide us peace until we see each other again.  We love you Papado 
Love you to infinity and beyond Grandma 

My brother always supported me. In everything. He was in pain most of his life and he still was able to laugh. His most happiest times were with his siblings and his grandparents. He loved being away, going out and exploring. He loved sight seeing. He especially loved food. He loved eating, he never stopped. Even in his last months he told me how he was eating so much he felt chubby.  I will eat Mac and cheese for you until I can’t anymore. I have since the day you left me. You will always have my back. I will always look to you for guidance when I need it. I love you. Thank you for taking care of me when I needed you most. 

We used to stay up way late into the night. I used to take over his bed with my blankets and we would watch movies and eat whatever food I made for us. We would laugh so hard when I would stare at him and say the exact words that the character would say next. I remember the very first time we watched the movie Paranormal Activity. When I got scared. We turned the volume down to 0 and we would make our own dialogue to make it funny. Marcus would always make sure I was taken care of. And I would make sure he was as well. We took care of each other. And now I’m left with this pain that is unbearable. I dream of my brother now. I see his face and when I realize it him, I wake up to this world without him.  Marcus, I will always love you and will cherish each and every moment we had until my last. 

Will the pain stop? will the emptiness be filled? Will I ever find you again? I waited so long to have you to myself, I know it was selfish of me in the end but I had to wait your lifetime to have you even for a short time but now again I'll have to wait and until then the pain will  continue the emptiness won't be filled but I know I will see you again. 💔 Grandpa Mando

Marcus your love of life was a sight to see, you were a happy  kid with the world ahead of you. We had just talked about your future endeavors . You said to me, "you and Grandpa have traveled all over the world 🌎 now were is your favorite place "? I thought hard for a answered "Greece or Russia" and you answered "when I move to Texas with you, can we go there"? Well papado when it's safe to travel we'll all take a family vacation with you.

Our heartfelt condolences  to all family members . May the memories of your loved one bring you peace and warmth to your hearts.  
Alfonso and Cuca Botello

My brother I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you enough from harm in this world. it breaks my heart not being able to see you here. Times got tough and I know how it feels to be alone and hurt I was happy to have you here with me in your last days we had plans for my birthday I know you where watching over me you know I don’t like my birthdays anyway. I love you so much and I’ll always remember you until my last day when I get to see you again I wish you could have stayed longer but got made he’s decision. I know my words don’t matter anymore but I like to think there’s a chance you’re reading this. Tu Hermana Rosie .  Descansa en paz mi niño que dios te cuide con todas sus fuerzas  

I want to share a story that Marcus told me recently when we were together. I took Marcus on drive around the old neighborhood in Bothell/Millcreek area we went to the house where he had so many good memories when  he was little, he was pointing out his old room the yard he used to play and the summer swimming pool fun he had.
We left  and were stopped at North rd. & 196th Street he looked over to the left and said "Grandpa you see that 7-11 store ? I said "yes" he said " one time I had to go #2 so bad and the wouldn't they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, I couldn't hold it so I went to the back of the store and had to let it out"🤣 I said " well if you want I can pull over and you can clean it up" we laughed so hard, then he said "oh and BTW I also left a package near the water tower near my other Grandpa's" house🤣 I said " we can go over and clean that one up too if you want" he laughed so hard I'll remember the moment forever. 
Sorry Marcus I had to share this story.🙏 Grandpa Mando ❤


I remember when Josh and I bought our condo and we had the solar system painted on the ceiling of his room to reflect his birthday the night he was born. He was super excited about the glowing sky the first night. Well, for about 15 minutes. Then he comes out of his room and says “ok, can you turn the stars off now” 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂 not really 

Marcus was such an incredible kid and so loving. I feel forever grateful to have been apart of his life. 

Eva and Armando Ramirez 

Marcus all of Grandma's and Grandpa love is now is woven in your wings to keep you warm and safe. We are so happy we have all the text messages and voice messages from you, We can read them over and over again. Thank you for the love you gave us and your beautiful memories ❤️ We will cherish every moment until we are reunited our baby boy. You knew how precious you are to us and that our lives were forever changed when you left to heaven. When we received that call that you had passed we did not need them to say more that we  are calling to inform you....But we are secure in the knowledge of why God had to pick up his Angele. We will love you to infinity and beyond ❤️... Grandma and Grandpa

One of our good memories was when Marcus and I had a ‘Snow Day’ in 2018, we didn’t want to go to school at all. We just wanted to stay home and be lazy. We had a 2 hour late start, we spoke quietly in the kitchen, as we were dressed for school looking at the time. “What if we say the bus never came and we just stay home?” I suggested. Marcus’s smile was so big and he laughed as he bent over, looking back up he nodded in one quick motion. Using his knuckles to pushed his glasses up he giggled, “what if we just walk real slow to make it seem like we left?” We we’re so mischievous. So we did, we walked really, really slow to the bus stop as we planned. Emphasizing our short and slow steps. We didn’t make it to the chevron(it was about 30 seconds away from our stop) before we saw the bus drive passed. “Oh no! The bus is gone, I guess we waited at the bus stop for 15 minutes and it was gone!” We laughed as we started to walk back home only for the bus driver to spot us, she slowed the bus down in the middle of 164th and we were so embarrassed and she waved at us. I remember clearly yelling across the street as Marcus laughed so hard “it’s okay!! We’ll walk to school!!” The bus driver nodded and drove off as we fist bumped. We walked home and we said “we waited for 15 minutes and the bus was a no show. It was a late start so maybe the bus didn’t show.” I ended up making us pancakes and watched some movies. Marcus always did love my pancakes. Especially when he can drown them in his syrup with a cup of coffee. 

To my beautiful soul. I will never forget your beautiful smile, your kindness, the way you danced and sang passionately. I wish everyone could hear how good your Spanish was getting and how funny it was when you would say Ques es?! Siempre estarás en mi mente y corazón. I will always miss you and love you. Que dios te tenga en su santa gloria. Descansa en paz mi niño hermoso🕊❤️

Mama took so many photos of you, When you were little and till you turned 21. You turned into an amazing king I’m so glad you were able to teach me things a brother should teach his sister 🦋 I’ll always miss you

Best friends forever, Mama raised us well because I will always remember you as my brother and best friend.


Marcus, your beautiful smile, your contagious laughter and your happiness will forever be etched in my memories. From the moment I took your little hand in mine I knew I would always protect you,  I promises to care and love you unconditionally for all time. You my lovely Grandson I will see again of this I'm sure. You left me a message Grandma I'm putting myself out there for God to love, you did and God answered by bringing you home. I will forever love you Grandma Eva ❤

Marcus loved the water he loved to be on the move, day trips he was all in overnight trip yep let's go he'd say he was the life of the party his presence will truly be missed.  Marcus, Grandpa, Grandma, Elba and Rosy

I cherish every moment I could with you and that wasn't enough,  you had this energy that radiated from you that left me wanting more. I used to take long looks at you when you weren't watching me so I could take a picture in my mind, some photos fade but yours never will. I remember this day like it was yesterday. You were so happy and hungry. ❤🙏

I know many times you probably wondered "what if, what if" well today  you now know there is a Kingom and you are seated next to Holyest of Holy and he's say you "my Son are my greatest creation". 
I know you will be with me Marcus when I feel the wind is blowing when it is rain and when the sun is shining on me I will know it's you, we won't talk we'll just enjoy each other's company.  I am happy papado. Grandpa Mando 


Marcus's first car and yes no drivers license. He did get a speeding ticket on that thing...Marcus loved to laugh 🤣🙃🤓

They say your life can change in an instant it certain has for us Marcus, but our lives changed the very first moment we saw you the second we held you the very first kiss we gave you, you became our source of happiness.
Your beautiful smile your happy laugh your silly personality and we wanted more of you but you went to sleep and God reached out his hand to you and without hesitation or even a doubt you took his hand and went with him and though our lives have changed again we know you are free now and so we'll have wait again until we can hold you and kiss you and see you laugh and smile again. Our tears are mixed with sorrow, sadness, happiness, and gladness your but none are wasted. Sleep with the Angel's sweet boy.
Grandpa Mando & Grandma Eva ❤😇


I picked this photo as well because my brother and I may not have had a good childhood but growing up we Got to know what it’s  like to have both parents to teach us how to be us and be happy (Mr.Pulido & Mrs.Pulido) I remember my dad (Mr.Pulido) took us to our tios sons birthday and my brother and I grabbed water guns and we sprayed our dad and he got so happy and grabbed a big water gun and chased my brother and i with water guns, My mom recorded us and knew our Dad (Mr.Pulido) is the light to our family. It was such a awesome day because my brother knew that we finally got to be able to know what it’s like to have our dad be there for us and teach us how to pronounce words, Help is in school, Make our mom happy, Love us like his own kids, Support us, Him and my mother both did a amazing job raising us because my brother turned into a wonderful king and I’m so blessed to have seen my brother smile all these years and know he has a family who will always remember the memories we had together and love him forever🤍🕊 I love you my brother mama, Dad and I will always cherish the moments we all had together.

Mi niño lindo te me fuiste sin poder mirarte por última vez. Te amo y siempre te amare de por vida, porque para mi tú estás vivo, lo que se es que estás durmiendo esperando un despertar cuando Dios venga por sus hijos. Se y me cuesta exentar que Dios me presto a mi nieto por unos años, con el cual gocé mucho, disfrute muchos momentos felices, desde que naciste te tuve en mis brazos y nunca te falto el amor de mi esposa y el mío, por eso se que nosotros fuimos los mejores abuelos que tuvisteis con que resistes y siempre te llevamos ala Iglesia adorar a Dios, se te enseñó amar a Dios. Por eso diré Gracias Dios por los 22 años que nos prestares a mi nieto, pero es duro despedirte. Mi amor mi único amor mi lindo nieto Marcus I. Martínez Ramires. 
Mi amor te amo y te amare por siempre 😍😘😍🥰😍🥰🥰🥰😍🥰😍😎😎😎😎

Que Dios te tenga en su Santa Gloria. Descansa en paz Marcus.

My brother was once my super hero now he’s my Angel, My brother will always be loved by my family. My Mom didn’t just teach my brother and I to be family who protect each other she also showed us that we will be each other’s best friends always. My Family the Martinez Family will always remember every moment we had with my brother. He protected me from my fears and I protected him from his we both had an amazing bond and I will never forget the moments he would scream my name when he would see me after school and joke with me or the time we played call of duty and he said “Go left mini” I went right and he asked what I was doing and I told him I have a plan and I didn’t I just didn’t know my left and right back then. He will always be my brother, Superhero, Best friend, now my Angel. We both are the same and that’s how we both became best friends as well, I’ll always have him in my heart hes my sibling I will truly love forever and remember all the good memories since I was a baby.🕊🤍Fly high my Angel remember I will always love you, See you soon.

My birthday is exactly 7 days after Marcus’s. Same day, different date. For a long time as long as I can remember, we spent the conjoined weekend together. We celebrated both of our birthdays. On this day we went out to Seattle. We went to view the troll under the bridge, the first time for the both of us, we went to Gas Works Park and enjoyed the sun. It was the best day for us. He turned 18 and all we could celebrate was him finally being so close to being free. This will always be my favorite memory of us.
