Marcus had a scheduled brain surgery to remove a tumor on his pituitary gland on the morning of April 22. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke during the surgery along with swelling on the brain while in recovery requiring multiple emergency surgeries. He is now in the neuro ICU at Regions Hospital in Saint Paul, MN where he’ll remain for the next 2-3 weeks followed by a long road of rehabilitation for stroke recovery.

Caitlin, who will remain at Marcus’ side, is currently between jobs and is scheduled to start her new position mid-May.

Please consider a donation to help alleviate the family’s financial burden and stress at this time to allow Caitlin to focus on Marcus and his recovery. You may also donate to their Meal Train - a helpful way to organize meals or donate gift cards.

On behalf of the Stack family, thank you for visiting this site and checking in on Marcus’ progress. Any money raised will go directly to Caitlin to aid in caring for Weston, Audrey and Marcus.
