Funeral for Marco Carral

My name is Fernanda Duran and on June 12,2022 at 1:10am I lost my brother Marco Carral to a tragic shooting. It is with a heavy heart that I write this paragraph. How can this be? Amidst the emotions we are having to learn details of this shooting, why, how, not us. This all occurred during his work shift as a security guard at the 300 Block of Cresent Village Circle. He was only trying to break up a domestic dispute. He is a hero who protected 6 kids from the shooter.

There’s no way to describe how much light Marco brought to many souls, he was a caring son, a loyal friend, but more than anything,he was the best role model for me and my brothers. His smile and laughter filled voids for many. He was a shoulder to lean on while our mother raised the four of us on her own. Marco was our oldest brother, and he dreamt of being a UFC Champ; he trained, watched UFC fights, and was determined. He was training at the American Kickboxing Academy, but when Covid hit, he put his dream aside to be able to provide for our family. Today, our family’s life and the life of our loved ones has come to a screeching halt, and we are all in shock. We are all in unbelievable grief with this senseless murder. We are making arrangements that we never thought we’d ever to face or even imagine. Along with the pain, we must face unsurmountable expenses; we are completely unprepared for.  We ask for your help to help us cover the funeral and memorial expenses. 

Marco was reserved; many found him quiet, but with his family he was always aware of what we needed, he was always checking in. We smile remembering that on his day off, which was on Sundays, he would make it “a pizza party” day that he came up with on his own. He carried a notebook where he would brainstorm about his brand, which he would have one day. He followed new trends from fashion to technology. He had started doing research into the “Huichol” history and way of life. Marco was overall a well rounded person, always expanding his knowledge. My brother was 23 years old, he would have turned 24 this coming November, while he wasn’t sure about having his own kids, he wanted to make sure to take care of our mom, to build her a home in Mexico and makes sure she would be cared for. We aren’t surprised this was his way of thinking, he was always looking to take care of us. It came naturally to him as he was our oldest brother.
