Marc Yamada

Marc Yamada passed away on January 3rd from health complications.

Marc was loyal, fun, outspoken, powerful, bold, thoughtful, hilarious, intelligent, gracious, kind and welcomed all walks of life into his world. He loved generously with his ears, his heart, his wallet and his stomach. He protected those he loved with ferocity. He guided those who were lost. He was also immensely private.

Many of you have reached out to inquire about sending a monetary gift, which Marc would've opposed and it took some convincing for his family to accept, - but the interest has been overwhelming, and with the reluctant approval by the Yamada family, a Go Fund Me has been set up in Marc's honor to help cover medical and other expenses for those who are interested.

The Yamada family would like to thank all of you for the thoughtful words of comfort as they navigate this enormous loss.
