Marcus' Life Story Marcus Andrew Eaddy Sr, 29 of Lithonia Georgia, called home to God March 28, 2024. Marcus was born on May 8, 1994 to Sherille Eaddy and Mario Budd Sr. in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Marcus also known as "Marc" began his education as a student of the Philadelphia school district. 2001 Marc continued his elementary education as a student of Garfield East Elementary in Willingboro New Jersey. While attending Garfield East, Marc showcased his musical talents by playing the clarinet. He also engaged in different sports ranging from, running track, playing basketball, as well as playing safety for the Pemberton Hornets little league team located in Brown Mills New Jersey. After returning to the Philadelphia School District, Marc completed his secondary education as a graduate of Overbrook High School in year 2011; a year earlier than expected! A true testament of his thirst for knowledge, even as a child. Marc went on to obtain his commercial driver's license, advancing his career as a truck and semi-truck driver. Through his most recent employer he even took on the daring task of train conductor! It was in New Jersey spending time with his grandfather James Eaddy, Marc found his love of sports, music and muscle cars. In his later years he took on the hobby of automobile restoration. His most recent project, restoring a 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass to its original glory. Racing and "burning rubber" was two of his favorite pass times. Around 2014, Marc started to hone in on his craft as a tattoo artist under the guidance of best friend Tez. Marc went on to express himself through tattoo artistry for many years to come. 2019 Marc got back in to music, he began producing beats and recording rap lyrics. He was truly a master of all crafts. Marc fathered oldest son, Marcus Andrew Eaddy Jr. with his first love, middle school sweet-heart Shaderea Hill. They went on to build a life in Decatur Georgia, where they welcomed two additional sons Mason Alexander and Malik Alijah Eaddy. Later in life Marc met La Kandra Holden and fathered his only daughter Devyn Amorie Nykkio Eaddy better known as "his heart." Marc was a great father and best friend to his sons. He never missed a moment of children's lives. Marc was always independent, walking to the beat of his own drum. He lived a lot of life in a short period of time. His smile was one to light up any room. He will be gravely missed by a blended host of siblings; Tamela, Maurice, Mario Jr, Nichole, Nahshon, Jasmine, Devon and Ajahne who called him by the nickname "Floc-o." Floc, Reese and Bub the youngest three brothers, called themselves the "Piranhas." They spent their teen years chasing girls, going to parties dancing the "Watutsie" and the "Wally." Marc was silly enough to carry these dances in to adult hood, to know him is to love him. To his siblings, he will always be the baby boy, number five out of five. The "lone wolf." Marcus is survived by his four children Marcus, Mason, Malik and Devyn, mother Sherille, father Mario Sr, grandfather James T. Eaddy III, grandmother Laura Gardner, eight

siblings, brother-in- law Maalik, twelve nephews, seven nieces, Pamela & Gerald Ammons affectionally known as mom and pop in addition to a multitude of aunts, uncles and cousins.
