They had two sons, Mark and Michael. Marco and Ria separated and Marco moved to Grande Prairie in 1985. Marco and Sharon reconnected soon after and were married in 1987.

Sharon We had just chatted the other day and I asked about Marco. The camping trips, the shopping trips on Saturdays and stopping in to see Marco at Windsor Ford. The barbecues the just stopping in on a Saturday, the trips to Edmonton when Marco wasnâ??t sure my vehicle would make it so he let us take his. His Flower gardens and well I think that was a product of the both of you. The pride when he talked about Emily and Luke and Joshua. Letting Sammy and Buster go for rides in the truck. There has been too many memories to count and remember. Itâ??s been a long while since we have visited and I feel bad life has gotten in the way. But I will be thinking about you all on Saturday as you lay Marco to rest. Remember the good times, the hugs, the reasons why you became a couple, and all the memories and stories people are gonna tell over the coming days. Jason and Nancy

Dearest Sharon , my heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. I was so glad that I was able to see you both in June 2016. Marcoâ??s generosity of spirit and love of life for you and all his family and friends will be greatly missed. I still remember Marco singing,â??Santa Mariaâ?? at the Chikdrenâ??s Centre during circle time when we all celebrated â??Santa Luciaâ?? one December long ago! His voice was amazing , It filled the whole room! Now he is singing with the angels where he can fill heaven with his joy of life. Love â??babyâ?? Jane.
