Marc David Bailey

Husband, Dad, Papa, Son, Brother, Master and Friend. Marc was born on July 10, 1963, in Carson City, NV. He was a man of God and used his actions to inspire others, work hard, love harder, and care for everyone he knew. Marc was never one to look for praise. He humbly served and led by example. He was our firm foundation and one of our greatest blessings. 

Marc had a passion for teaching and was a Master in Tae Kwon Do for nearly forty years. He felt honored, humbled, and blessed to be able to teach so many amazing students who became extended family. Marc touched many lives of many people through Tae Kwon Do and in every day life.

He had the honor of meeting and marrying his best friend and the love of his life Belinda, where he gained his beautiful daughter Allison and amazing son Kevin, who then added their precious daughter-in-love, Sherry. He was the proud Papa to Lilyann, Jaxon, and Saylor, whom he absolutely adored.

Marc could always be found, or not found, in nature. He loved to spend time getting lost in the woods with his dogs or a grandchild by his side, teaching his kids how to cut down a Christmas tree on the side of a mountain, eating dandelions, fighting off mountain lions, or roasting marshmallows with his grandchildren. 

His strong embrace, cheeky grin, subtle wit and loving heart will never be forgotten, because it is engraved in our hearts.
