I am so sorry that the Maynor family and friends are experiencing this pain and grief but be comforted in the fact that God ways are not our ways and He is still in control. Marc accomplished more in his 30 years on earth than most accomplish in twice as many years. Marc’s contributions to the world will always be with us to help and inspire others.

I meet Marc in the Chemistry labs at the University of South Carolina. I was a undergraduate working in the same lab. He was such a wonderful gentleman. I will always remember the picture over his vent that said, "I am a Supersayn Chemist!"

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Maynor family. His accomplishments were many, but that which will be most remembered is that which he leaves behind. He did much in a short period of time, and we should all have thirst for life and education as he did.

God gave Marc the wisdom to reach for the stars as a young man not many have accomplished so much in such a short time.At 31 it seems as if Life has just begun but the Wisdom of God deemed it time enough for Marc. But his life's a testamony he sought the kingdom first and God blessed him with lifes greatest gifts. the love of a good wife, a child that brings such joy, a family to share the good and hard times, and a relationship with the Lord that would give him life eternal.Gone to soon? maybe but the time we shared with him will live on in our memories until we meet with him on the other side.
Lovingly,
Mary and Jack McNeil

Dear Al & Mary:

I was quite shocked to learn of the death of Marc.There is little which serves as comfort at times such as this, and though it may be difficult for those who are bereaved to absorb, but one can only find solace in the revelation; God does not make mistakes. My family and I share your loss, and I regret that I can not be physically at your side during the days ahead. You and your family will be in our prayers.
God Bless
