Obituary

Marc  A. Smiley  58  of Rochester passed away at 3:35 a.m. on January 31 , 2016 at Chase Center Nursing and Rehab, in Logansport following a  valiant and courageous, 30 year battle with Muscular Dystrophy.  Marc faced greater challenges in the last 16 months, but maintained his dignity and persevered with grace until his final day.
On April 12 , 1957, in Rochester Marc Aaron Smiley was born.  He was a treasured son of Jack and Joyce Lowe Smiley.  Growing up he shared his childhood with a brother Jon.  With great Zebra pride he graduated from Rochester High School in 1976.
At the Rochester City Hall on September 18 , 1990, with Mayor Phil Thompson presiding, Marc married the love of his life Nicole  Beach Smiley.  Together they enjoyed over 25 years of life's adventures.
A devoted employee of the McMahan - O'Connor Construction Company,  Marc worked at their  concrete plants.  He loved watching NASCAR racing, with Dale Earnhardt Jr. as his favorite driver.  He was the proud owner of unique money clips and had a pocket knife collection.

Left to cherish Marc's memory are his loving wife,  Nicole, at home; father, Jack Smiley of Rochester; brother, Jon Smiley of Kewanna; his in-laws, Russell and Vicky Dugan of Rochester, and Paul and Debbie Beach of Elizabethtown, KY; sister-in-law Jennifer Gamble of Columbia City;   nephews and nieces: Cody, Ashley, Echo and Maddox Gamble; Grandmother Sharon Graham of Logansport; and several aunts, uncles and cousins who also survive.   Preceding Marc in death is his mother Joyce.
