Marc Christopher Smalley
MARC CHRISTOPHER SMALLEY
Vinton
Marc Christopher Smalley, 54, died while visiting Tyson's Corner, Va., on Nov. 7, 2021.
Marc was born on April 1, 1967, to Vicki Lynn Turner and, at the age of 2, he was adopted by Roger and Ima Jean Smalley, who divorced when he was young.
Marc spent his grade school years in the Vinton school system, then moved to Wyoming, Iowa, where he continued his education.
He was always a free spirit; walls couldn't contain him! He traveled from place to place as he chose, enjoying life.
Marc was preceded in death by his birth mother, Vicki Turner, and his adoptive parents, Roger and Ima Jean Smalley; and his uncles, Gary Turner and Roger Powers.
He is survived by his brothers, Robin Powers and Robert Smalley of Oregon; as well as his sisters, Sandra (Michael) Cox, Cheryl (Harold) Knaack of Vinton, Betty (Mark) Shea of Iowa City and Patty Powers of West Branch. He also leaves behind many cousins, nieces and nephews.
We will all cherish our memories of our precious Marc. A private memorial gathering is being arranged for immediate family.
