Marc was born on January 2, 1955 to Rosalie Faunteleroy and Dobson Grantham of Bogalusa, LA. Marc struggled from birth to overcome his slim chance at survival to become a Chief Marine Engineer for over 40 years. He worked on many offshore vessels in many placed. His travels took him to all parts of this country and others. Marc loved to spend time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To relax he spent time caring for his friendly backyard critters, (Ricky the Squirrel, Rocky the Rabbit, and hundreds of Birds and his favorite Whistling Ducks). He was always ready to help Neil and Trisha with their latest mechanical issues, or go hunting and target practicing with Lynn and Chris. But his passion was his gardens. He was an amazing gardener. One year he and Ari gave away numerous laundry baskets of squash because their crops always yielded an overabundance. He also loved to go fishing, but rarely got to go. As he and his wife lived in Slidell with his mom and took great care of both of them for many years.
