MARC BOULET

Condolences & Memories (14 entries)

• I stumbled upon this passage and am awestruck by the fond memories Marc left behind with so many people. I did not know him much past grade school except for a chance meeting in my twenties. I knew him as a youth and I am not surprised at the kind demeanor he is remembered by because that is how I remembered him when we were 10. He sounds like he had a very full life and I wish I could of known him as an adult. - Posted by: Michel Douchant (Friend from childhood) on: Jul 24, 2021

• You left a lot of friends behind! It was a pleasure getting to know you. So kind and generous of spirit! Hasta luego! - Posted by: Jacob Ketler (Friend) on: Jun 16, 2018

• We were acquainted with Marco over many winters in Melaque. As others have already mentioned, he was a kind hearted man whom we also talked to on numerous occasions. He had many friends in Mexico and it would have been an honor to be one. We are very sad to hear of his passing, and will miss seeing him this winter. - Posted by: Fred & Judy McLennan (Aquaintance) on: Sep 21, 2017

• We too are friends of Marcus, and greatly saddened to hear of his passing. It is interesting to read the many tributes and the commonality of them. He was a kind and gentle soul and you are right his green eyes did twinkle especially in the middle of a discussion of the meaning of life. We had many of those discussions over some wine and the odd tequila! Marcus and I had many discussions on the giving of gifts. We always brought Marcus down a Yukon calendar or T-shirt from the Yukon. He would always say it is not necessary to bring me a gift and I would say— but I like giving gifts and I love getting them. I told him when I get you a gift, I like shopping for it. I think of you and what you would enjoy, especially if I could find a T-shirt with an outlandish saying on the front. We always ended the discussion with agreeing to disagree. About 4 years after we met Marcus he arrived at our Place with a gift lovely wrapped (sort of). At first I did not realize it was for me, and was pretty surprised. He had that twinkle in his eye when he told me he had such fun shopping for me and thinking of me. He had bought me a lovely candle holder done in Mexican designs, it really was beautiful. I took it home with me that year and put it in my china cabinet. The once a year that I dusted my cabinet I would take it out, dust it and think of Marcus. This past August I was on a mission to downsize ( which Marcus would have approved of ) and was going thu my china cabinet. I took out the candle holder and put it in the box of stuff to go and took it out to the garage. I took the candle stick back out and thought, NO I can’t part with that, Marcus gave it to me. I am so glad I kept it. We will miss going to Melaque and not having Marcus! It will not be the same. I like what Bruce said about being free of his body and able to soar. We hope Marcus is soaring free far above us. Our sincerest sympathy to his family. I am sure none of us will forget Marcus, he truly was a special and unique, good person. - Posted by: Ed & Rhoda Istchenko (friend) on: Sep 14, 2017

• Marco, like myself have been around for years and he always stopped gor a chat on the beach or on the street. He was such a kind soul and I never heard him say a bad thing about anyone. I will miss seeing him ambling along the beach late afternoon where we used to congregate. RIP Marco with the angelitos. 🌞🌷🌷🌷 - Posted by: Penny (Friend) on: Sep 14, 2017

• It is with shock and sadness that we heard the news of Marc's passing. We have known him over many years in Melaque. He was one of the people we looked forward to seeing when we arrived - was often one of the first friends we would run into - and we would enjoy a good visits on the beach, at a beachfront restaurant over a beer, or at his place. His green eyes twinkled, looking as though he held behind them the secret to the good life, or at least a humorous story. He was a creative inspiration to me and to others. We made some art together a couple of times, always meaning to get together to do more. He drew daily and his illustrations were prolific and imaginative, to say the least. As we look out over a beautiful sunset tonight, we remember you, Marc, and wish you had stayed around longer. We'll miss you, friend. Our thoughts are with your family and friends. - Posted by: Laura and Floyd Bodner (friends) on: Sep 12, 2017

• Marco became one of my dearest friend many years ago on my first visit to Melanie. We spent many days and hours together every winter since then. We were Skype buddies and spoke often, as recently as a few weeks before his death. He made friends easily and we are still interconnected with people we met through Marco. It will be some time before I believe he is no longer here. Most of all I'll miss taking about life while bobbing in the sea amongst the pelicans with Marco and his ridiculously funny makeshift water wings . He made a few more friends while visiting me in Waterloo and they send their condolences to the family. Joe and Cathy Martin - Posted by: Joe martin (Friend) on: Sep 12, 2017

• Marco in Melaque...kind, agreeable friend to many. You will be missed and long remembered by all of us. Con amor.. - Posted by: Joy Barrera (Amiga) on: Sep 11, 2017

• Marco was an institution in Melaque where I met him 14 years ago. It was an honor to spend time yearly with him there and on our side trips to the highlands. Melaque will not be the same without him. - Posted by: Dan Schipper (friend) on: Sep 10, 2017

• Adios Marco, Sleep Well Hermano. I will never forget you and our many debates over many things, over many years. You taught me to look at things through a different light, opening my eyes to the limitless possibilities. You told me to "Maximize" my opportunities and live life to the fullest and I will try. Your passing brings me deep and profound sadness, but I know you wouldn't want me to grieve. Instead I will celebrate your life and consider myself lucky for having known you. Till we meet again,rest easy muchacho ............Estaban. - Posted by: S.Lagrandeur (Friend) on: Sep 04, 2017

• Au revoir Marc--on finira par tout se rencontrer un bon jour dans un autre monde merveilleux rempli de la plus belle nature imaginable. Et tu y seras en plein milieu avec ton grand sourire nous souhaitant la bienvenue. A plus tard mon ami. - Posted by: Paul Bilodeau (Ami) on: Sep 04, 2017

• I met Marco (as we called him) in Melaque, Mexico 10 years or so ago. He was a good pal, generous and loving with everyone. He never complained about anything his life in all the time I knew him. A smiling face on La Playa and a good chum to share 3 or 2 beer with on a sunny Mexican afternoon and just wile away the time. I will miss him this season and the seasons to come. But, his spirit will linger there for a very long time I suspect. Olé, salud and hasta luego Marco! - Posted by: Michael Laderoute (Amigo) on: Sep 02, 2017

• It is with profound sadness that we have to say good bye, Marcos. I was so much looking forward to spending time in La Manzanilla, Tenacatita and our other usual haunts this winter. The plans we had, unfulfilled, will be completed with you in our hearts. The places we went and the fun we had cant be taken away. You're free of the bonds of your body and now you can soar, my friend. Hasta Luego. - Posted by: Bruce Klasens () on: Sep 02, 2017
