Marcus Maxwell Coates passed away on Wednesday August 21, 2024 following a tragic accident that took place on the land where he lived and loved so much.  Marc married the love of his life Tanya (Dobbie).  When they were blessed with their daughter Cheyenne, his life was complete.  He lived and breathed for his girls and there was nothing that he wouldn’t do to make them smile.

Along with Tanya and Cheyenne, Marc will be missed by his mother Geri Coates, his sister Crystal Sheppy (Dan) and their daughter Sydney, his life long friend Ben Coll and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Marc is in heaven now with his dad Ken Coates who passed away just fourteen months ago.  They are both greatly missed.

He is also predeceased by his grandparents Jean & George Verstraete and Doris & Max Coates.

We will celebrate Marc’s short but wonderfully lived life at a later date.

Geri and family - We are so saddened to hear of your beloved son's passing. We didn't know Marc, but if he was anything at all like his dad, he was a special son.

It is so tragic. So sorry and so sad. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Marc was a good dude. A solid guy with a kind heart. I hung out with him quite a bit in elementary school and high school. Always had respect for him. We lost contact over the years but always wished him the best. Lil in shock still from hearing about this. My condolences go out to the family and friends.

Marc and I went to high school together. There were a few classes we shared. I remember he was always polite & kind.. a gentlemen really... I remember a few class debates that became after class & through break debates... He was always smiling. He was a good man, I send my condolences to his family during this time of solace. Our generation has seen a century's worth of loss in the last five years.. those of us left behind must carry on and lean on each other for the strength and courage to get through it all. I'll be sending love and light to his loved ones for they are in my thoughts.

So very sorry for the terrible loss of Marcus. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
