My condolences to Marc's family and friends. I worked with Marc as an outside contractor doing scheduling and/or billing for Keebler/Kellogg for over 10 years. Quite often I would Marc at least once a day. He was always patient and kind to me even when he had the most hectic days. We got to know each other well over the course of years and he was a man with a true dedication for a job well done, a man with honesty, and always a kind word. I don't think anyone knew more about the plant engineering than he did! He could always answer most questions off the top of his head. He always had wonderful things to mention when he saw nieces and nephews, he truly treasured time spent with them. Marc will be missed by the many people that he came into contact over the course of his life. RIP Marc!

My prayers and condolences to the entire Kornoelje family. Working with Marc at Keebler/Kellogg was a blessing and a privilege. Marc was such a gentle soul. He was full of knowledge and so willing to help anyone regardless of how much time it took from his busy schedule. He was truly missed by so many of us the moment he walked out of the doors to retire. I know that he is safe and at peace in the arms of Jesus. God Bless you all. Tempy Mann

We were very saddened to hear of Marc's passing. As part of the Keebler Engineering team, I worked closely closely with Marc and highly valued his friendship / work ethic. After Keebler, we typically met a couple times a year to keep in touch with friends. I still remember the discussions on his wooden boat that needed rebuild and the Jeep motor overhaul. Truely a wonderful talented man - he will be missed! Frank And Kathy Nerychel

My condolences to Marc’s family and friends. Marc was an amazing friend and neighbor. I have so many memories of Mark and my family just enjoying the outdoors. His laugh was contagious. He always found a way to make me smile. Even if that meant going for a short ride up and down 28th street in his mustang. He even let me drive it once. 😊 Marc was truly loved by my family. He will be deeply missed. We will love you Neighbor. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
