Amory – Marcus Eli Moon, 59, passed away on Saturday, November 7, 2020, at his residence in Amory. Born on September 17, 1961 in Amory, MS, he was a son of the late Lloyd Moon and Jean Gilbert Moon.
Marcus grew up in Amory and graduated with the Amory High School class of 1979. He was a great provider and worked hard to support his family. Marcus worked at PeopleLounger as an Upholsterer for over 20 years and he also worked at Food Giant in Amory. A man tall in stature, he was a gentle giant who had a great big heart. A man of faith, he was a member of Trinity Baptist Church and he also attended Riverbend Baptist Church. He loved to listen to Southern Gospel Music.
Some of his favorite pastimes were to be with family, reading his Bible, hunting and fishing. He was a former member of the Buckeye Hunting Club and he enjoyed being outdoors. He was also talented in Pyrographic Art, which was the burning of shapes, drawings, and images into wood medium. Marcus loved pulling pranks. One of his closest friends was Hugh Miller.

I didn’t get to know Marcus like I wanted to , I probably never would have but then he never would’ve called me “that jewelry lady“ , and that’s all I was until I was blessed to walk in one day to see Sheri ( my dear Sherry, my friend ) and there was Marcus and I got to meet him and get a hug. When is that up I was like “that’s a tall man“ but there was so much more to him than that , he had to have that big bodied care around that big heart that hug, I’ll always remember that because he started to give me a little slack after that , that’s a good thing ! a good memory and I’m sure they are are going to be many more posted here , and those that you are holding in your hearts forever.
