Marcus Lynn Crenshaw

Marcus was born on November 15, 1954 in Houston, Texas. After attending the University of Florida, he

graduated from the University of Georgia with his doctorate in psychology. Following graduation he

In 2017, he met the love of his life, Tram, and moved to Vietnam. On October 5, 2019 they were married

in Gainesville, FL with the love and support of their family and friends. Marcus was a talented musician with a keen interest in piano and music composition. He created and collaborated on many musical projects that demonstrated his love of jazz, showtunes, rock, classical, and eclectic music from around the world. He shared his love of music with generations of his family, from joyous performances for his Mother, to his abiding passion for sharing music and access to musical instruments with the children in his life. He was deeply devoted to his wife, and developed a sincere love for the music, culture, and landscapes

of Vietnam. He enjoyed traveling and finding friendship, laughter, and music wherever he went.

Marcus was preceded in death by his father Alison Allen; his mother Viola Allen; his brothers Raymond,

Mickey, Tommy, and Dennis; and his sister Margaret Ruth.
