He passed away peacefully at his residence in Valley, Alabama, on June 7, 2024, surrounded by the love of his family.

Marc is survived by his devoted wife of 42 years, Ann Underwood, and their loving children: sons Curt and Hunter Underwood, stepdaughter Rendee Gullatt, and stepson Phillip Gullatt.

His professional life was equally distinguished, having worked as a Lab Technician with esteemed companies such as West Point Pepperell, Wellington Sears, and Kaydon. Marc's analytical mind and friendly demeanor made him a respected figure in his field and among his colleagues.
