Dear Sharon and Family:
On behalf of the NHS Class of 1959, we would like to extend our most sincere condolences to you and your family regarding the passing of our classmate, Marcus Houge. Sorry for the late condolence but I just now found Marcus’ obituary. As you know Sharon, Marcus was well liked by his classmates, and really, everyone that I ever met that knew Marcus. He was a good student, gifted trombonist, and always a very positive person in his relationships with others. As you know, Marcus was on the swim team, on the golf team, and we were together on the track team with his close friend Orwood Minor. Marcus and I were also in the life-saving class together at North. You and Marcus have loved each other since our days together at North High and have enjoyed a wonderful life, raising two beautiful children.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with each of you during the days that lie ahead. I know you will miss Marcus greatly, but rest assured that he is now in heaven looking down upon us all with a smile upon his face.
Larry C.Martindale
Vice President Class of 1959

Lin and Jolene Hartman would like to send condolences to Sharon Hauge her family and friends on Marcus' passing.

Marcus, Orwood Minor and I met in junior high and went through North High School in
Des Moines and we were good friends throughout. Marcus and Sharon and Lin were band and orchestra together. Marcus and I played the trombone, although Marcus was much better than I.

My mother and Marcus' worked together for years at the telephone company downtown Des Moines, one reason we met. Marcus and Sharon, Jolene and I hung out together often, went to the senior prom together and shared many good times..

Immediately after graduation, the three of us, Marcus, Orwood and Lin went to Wisconsin and travelled with a carnival for the summer, I'm sure Jolene and Sharon (our future wives) thought they would probably never see us again.

We did return, however, but mostly parted ways. Marcus and Orwood to the University of Iowa and Lin to Grandview. All of our memories of these friends and those days are fond ones.

Knowing Marcus, I'm sure he was a good family man, and I know he had a successful life that's really all one can strive for IMO. In these hard times try to remember to good times
God Bless and share the memories . . . . . . . Lin and Jolene Hartman

Where to begin? Marcus was a great friend, in fact, I always counted him as one of my best friends. We bonded quickly over our shared appreciation of both really good, and really really bad music. The worse the music the better and we would compare collections to see who had the worst. He always won.
When I fell apart, Marcus was my champion and reassured me that it was certainly okay to be fragile. That it was not a moral or spiritual failing or character flaw. Simply being human. He visited me at hospital every day and comforted myself and my family.

My favorite memory was him telling me, "You have a keen sense and appreciation of the absurd...I like that..."
My puzzled look spoke volumes. He smiled and said, "I meant that as a compliment."

He and Sharon were/are two of my favorite people in the planet. Looking forward to seeing him again, in paradise.

I met Marcus in the 8th grade at Irving Jr High School in Des Moines. We immediately became friends, and had in common that we both read a lot. We went to North High School where we were on the swimming team. There were three of us that were close friends, the other being Lin Hartman. Marcus and Lin both played the trombone. I was sort of envious of them since I couldn't play anything, I think Marcus met Sharon in band.
The summer after high school the three of us worked in a carnival in Wisconsin owned by Marcus's aunt. That was fun and very interesting. Then Marcus and I were roommates at the University of Iowa. I dropped out after one year and I don't think I saw Marcus again until the 25th high school reunion. I asked him where he lived and he said Tulsa, which confused me. I said no, I live in Tulsa. He straightened me out. How interesting that we would end up in the same city.
I am very saddened to hear of his death.

Orwood Jay Minor (Marcus was about the only person left who still called me 'Orwood' instead of Jay.
I miss him now and will for the rest of my life.

My most favorite memory is when he gave the prayer for Anita's Grad Party.
He didn't feel well, but we could hear him loud and clear over the phone. He always gave of himself, even while not feeling good.
He always seasoned his counsel with love, to the point you may not have realized you were just counseled.
I will truly miss him and look so forward to seeing him again.
Love Jarrie
