Marcus Teruko Nakamura was welcomed into the arms of Christ on May 03, 2016. Marcus was 17 years old and was born in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was a junior at Trabuco Hills High school and was a member of the football team. He also attended Brethren Christian High School where he played basketball, football and golf. He is survived by his parents Gail and Steven and his sister Emily. Marcus was an exceptional athlete with a strong passion for many sports which also included bowling and RC car racing. He had a smile that was sure to illuminate even the darkest of rooms, while his laugh could warm even the coldest of hearts. He was taken from us much too soon and this world will never be the same without him. The service will be held on May 10, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest in tent #2. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that donations be made to Pathway School, 23802 Avenida de la Carlota, Laguna Hills, CA 92653 or call (949) 837-1203.
