Memorial service for Marcus Alexander Downs, 11 of Roland, was held at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 19, 2024, at The BOD Church in Roland under the direction of Agent Mallory Martin Funeral Service, Inc.
Marcus was born on March 8, 2013 in Schenectady, N.Y., to Ashly Nicole Love and Andrew Marcus Downs and passed away on Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Roland.
Marcus loved playing Minecraft and video games. He loved animals of all kinds, even rehoming spiders that he found around the house. He was a wizard with numbers and a vibrant student at Roland Elementary School until he was diagnosed with childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy in May of 2022 which caused a rapid decline in his health. He will be missed dearly by all that he has touched.
