    • Full Obituary

      Todd Leslie Marks, born November 19, 2019 at 6:43 p.m. at Carle Hospital, Urbana, IL was held in the arms of his loving parents, Kaytlyn and Randall Marks, for fourteen minutes, before being held in the everlasting arms of Jesus.

      He was preceded in death by great-grandfathers Harold Slunaker and Duane Guth.

      He will be forever loved and held in memory by his parents, Kaytlyn (Slunaker) and Randall Marks and his big brother Troy Marks, all of West Salem, IL; his grandparents Janet and Leslie Slunaker of Berryville, IL and Karen and Tom Marks of West Salem; great-grandparents: Ron and Melody Hallam of Albion, IL, Davida Lenser of LaCrosse, WI, Mildred and George Brakmeier of Berryville, Ray and Ruby Marks of West Salem, and Alice Guth of Gridley, IL. Todd will also be cherished by 3 aunts: Kassidy Slunaker of Berryville, Miranda Marks of Evansville, IN and Andrea (Jake) Staley of Falmouth, IL.

      Private Services will be held at a later date.

      Due to the outpouring of support and many who have asked how they may memorialize Todd, memorials may be made to Kaytlyn and Randall for a headstone. They would also like to thank everyone for the prayers and support during this trying time. Every kindness is truly appreciated.
