Marko MacPherson Obituary, Motocross rider Marko MacPherson has died

Marko MacPherson Obituary, Death – Marko MacPherson, who was a father, husband, brother, and son, passed away while engaging in one of the activities that brought him the most joy: riding motocross. In addition to all of those things, he was a Creative Director, Dreamer, Baby wrangler, and Dog whisperer. He also enjoys Surfing and Yoga. As a second hobby, he enjoyed telling stories and making pictures as a method of retaining memories. There is no greater present that anyone could give to us, his family and friends, than for everyone to share their remembrances of him here, in the form of words and/or photographs, so that we can all come together and celebrate his life and his spirit.

Below are the tributes for Marko MacPherson

Rachel Cohen said; I am seeing you, Marko, standing in the backyard that you so loved, maybe some Betty Lavette playing, grilling up photo-perfect, lavish platters of food (for humans and doggies) while talking about your dreams and plans, or the state of the world, or maybe just cracking us all up with a well-spun yarn. Ever quick-witted, generous of spirit, embracing the shared fun of the moment.

We had our boys a few months apart while living in the same building on Wyckoff and became family as we navigated new parenthood. Endless playdates (for the children and the grownups), meals, birthdays, holidays, Fire Island time, morning hangs that stretched into the evening – I am filled with memories of you and all of us. We became family and shall remain so forevermore.

Another person Nadean Novogratz said; Marko was a dear friend and neighbor to our family… a weekly guest at our house whether hopping over the fence from his family’s deck to ours or walking through our unlocked front door. We will miss him dearly as he was essentially Uncle Marko to our 3 kiddos who love him dearly and he was always so kind to – playing with them, bringing Smokey over for a playdate, helping out, etc.

We met Marko and Christiane in November 2013, one month before we were to start our family. We quickly became family friends and Marko a close friend of my husband. Marko was a man of many words. He often spoke of his children whom he loved dearly and was so proud of. The last conversation we had was him describing the upcoming Saturday with Isla and her riding outside of the city – how he was looking forward to the day, about all of her riding accomplishments… a truly proud father. And of course Cully, Marko was so excited to tell us about Cully getting into school and playing water polo last spring. You could feel his love for his children as he spoke of them.

Marko loved talking about California, his life growing up, practicing yoga, meditating, his photography, riding and working on his bike, and most recently about his restaurant endeavors.

Marko was the Mayor of Douglass Street… he touched so many lives and so many people knew him. He was a great and kind man. He left our world too soon.
