Steven "Doc" Marks
October 18, 1946 ~ April 18, 2020
Born in:
Forest City, NC
Resided in:
Fletcher, NC
On April 18, 2020 at 73 and 1/2 years of age, the world lost a very unique and powerful soul.
Steven L. Marks was known to many as “Doc” but to many more as a friend, jokester and a straight shooter. He made his peace with his time in the service – US Army, 3rd battalion, 11th brigade, 23rd Infantry- and took advantage of every moment in spite of his battle with cancer.
Those of us left behind choose to remember the gifts we were given and the moments that defined him in our minds; memories that will be faithfully passed down.
Steve asked that in lieu of flowers, you please consider a donation to the Food Pantry at Calvary Episcopal Church in Fletcher.
A celebration of Steve’s life will be held at a later date.
My love is with you to your end, yours will be with me until mine.
Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian is assisting the family.

How much character can you measure out of someone who was always thinking of others and always had maintained a such a fantastic sense of humor even in the most painful last hours? You were the measuring stick and the bar set for others to reach in that amount of character. Thank you for being just like a father to me all those years. A big piece of the family has gone on to new adventures. No mistake- you were and still are family.

George, (Steve), this is Margaret here, yes wooden leg and all. I first want to thank you for all the laughter you gave me over the years and for always being there for my very special sister. You were a tough old dude but with a heart of gold. I’m so thankful you joined the family and you will always be a part of it no matter where your new journey takes you. Gene says thank you for being the man you were. Love ya and will miss you more than you thought we would.
My deepest sympathies for your loss.
Doc was such an inspiration to my whole family. He was a mentor and truly great friend to us all. We loved him dearly and will miss him forever. We will see you in the next life Doc Marks, rest in peace my friend!
