Marco Antonio Valencia

Marcos Antonio Valencia Duran passed away peacefully at his daughter's home on Palm Sunday. He battled a six-year illness involving Parkinson's and dementia. Marcos was known and loved by many, but he was mainly known for his love and joyfulness. He could walk into the darkest room and make it bright; he could talk to the saddest person and make them smile. It was as if he had a healing touch, simply through his presence. Marcos was a loving grandfather, father, husband, and God-fearing man. He always put his family's needs first. His heart was full of integrity and empathy; he always did what he could to help others. His hobbies included working on cars, camping, family vacations, singing karaoke, and dancing. He loved having fun with his close family and friends. He will always be remembered and loved by many.
