Just realizing Marco passed almost 2 years ago. Breaks my heart. 💔 I met Marco in Davenport when he worked with the coffee company. We had some great times together. He was an amazing man. Fun. Intelligent. We would talk about anything. A great dancer and his laughter and smile was electrifying. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Even though it's been 2 years. He will be missed forever. I still smile when I think of him and our sweet times together.

We are truly sorry for the loss of Marco. We lived around the corner from him for 12 years. My daughters grew up knowing Mister Marco as the one who was always there for the neighborhood. We take solace knowing that he is doing great things in a neighborhood in Heaven.

I met Marco when we would visit our daughter who lived in Lincoln Park while going to college and working at John Barleycorns. He was such a nice man and was protective of my daughter and her friends. We have remained friends on Facebook and he always commented on posts and wished me a happy birthday. I will miss him.

I worked with Mister Marco at Barleycorn and lived above the bar. We spent many breakfasts, lunches, dinners, shifts & shift drinks together, and shared many laughs as well. We all loved Marco, and I am so sad to hear of him passing!
