Marc was so passionate about his work and so tremendously talented. Not even a month ago he won his first Emmy award. It’s a tragedy that he’s been taken so young when he had so much yet to do. Please also use this as a reminder that Covid is still a very real and present danger, please get vaccinated and mask up to protect yourself and others. My heart goes out to his friends and family, especially to his wonderful team @lyndajpearcemua @loumua @adamjamesphillips @holliewilli4ms @tyatyambo @allbeautydestroyedmua @claireematthews1 He loved and cared for you all so much and my heart goes out to you all.
