Marc Jr. was born February 19, 1978, in Pekin, Illinois to Marc Edward and Sandra Lee Shipton. Along with his family, he moved to Texas in 1983.
Marc was an avid fisherman, loved camping, and had a passion for life, family and friends. He was the proud and loving father of his son Marcus. Marc’s love of construction brought him to work alongside his father as a skilled carpenter in the construction industry.
