As a sister and a best friend, Lacey always been there for me, growing up. Spending a weekend every other month at her and her husband's house, doing something fun together. She's always given a shoulder to cry on and been someone to laugh with till I cry. I don’t know what I’d do without her.

AJ is Marcus’s older brother, workout partner and homie. Throughout the years they have pushed each other to be better physically and improve their lives in general. And AJ is constantly coming up with puns to annoy Marcus with.

My sister, my roommate, my coworker x2, and a friend. We’ve been through so much and learned so much together. Through laughter, tears, and fights, we’ve made it to the next chapter!

Rick has been a friend, partner and mentor to Marcus since 2018. He’s pushed him to be better and better every day.

Christian and I grew up in the same church together since 2006. We’ve been close friends for over 10 years. What a crazy ride this has been!

Marcus has known Ritchie aka “Fish” from his wrestling days since 2016. Some of his favorite matches has been with Ritchie.

Beth and I have been friends for over 10 years since we met in church. Though she's moved to Maine, our friendship hasn't been as distant. Now she's married, a mother to 3, and the classic homemaker, baking bread from scratch. Oh, how time flies!

Eman, Marcus’s cousin has also been like a brother to Marcus. Eman is success-oriented, an excellent manager at work, and a great father. They've had many great adventures together like 2 years ago, Eman invited Marcus to New York on a whim.

I’ve not only grown up with her, but I have literally known Karah since we were babies. We lost contact then reconnected. It’s been so much fun hanging out again when we find the time between our busy schedules.

Marcus has known Rudy and worked with him in the real estate world since 2011.

It's been a pleasure watching Azalee grow up from a baby into a wonderful, young lady.

Marcus went to Emmanuel Christian School with Ayo and had been friends since 2006.

Nayaani, Marcus' niece, has been a wonderful part of the Everett Family. It has been a joy, spending time with her and I can't wait to get to know her better as the years go by.

I became an Aunt in 3rd grade to Noah, 15 years ago. Growing up, I had a blast, spending a weekend every month to every other month with Lacey, Craig, and Noah.

I grew up at church with Tabitha and was homeschool buddies for several years. I can always relate to her on many levels. Now and then. (Yes, that was a Beatles reference ;) )

I grew up at church with Sarah since 2006. As a sister of one of my good friends, Christian, Sarah has become a good friend of mine as well.
