In Loving Memory of Marcus Jentsch

Marcus was the kind of person you simply couldn’t forget. He had the sweetest soul, the biggest heart, and a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He came into Michelle’s life as one of her staff members, but somewhere along the way, “staff” disappeared and family took its place. Marcus became her little brother. Michelle had the privilege of watching him grow into an incredible young man. He made work feel like home and became a brother and best friend to so many around him.

On Friday night, August 15, 2026, Marcus unexpectedly passed away following an asthma attack. A beautiful life with so much ahead of him was taken far too soon. Marcus deserved more time—more memories, laughs, milestones, and years with the people who loved him. The incredible amount of love being shown for him is a reflection of who he was. He mattered. He was loved. And he left a mark on more people than he probably ever realized. This fundraiser was created to honor Marcus and support his family through this unimaginable loss. Donations will help with funeral expenses, living costs, and family support. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing his story. Let’s make sure everyone knows the name Marcus Jentsch and remembers the beautiful soul behind it.

Marcus, being your big sister was one of the greatest privileges of Michelle’s life. You will forever be her little brother and forever a part of our Schiller Park family. We love you, Marcus. Always.
