Marcus James Sexsmith

Marcus James Sexsmith, age 27, passed away on March 27, 2026.

Born on July 27, 1998, in Edson, Alberta, Marcus—also known by his birth name, Marcus Blade Findlay—lived a life that, while far too short, was filled with connection, laughter, and meaning.

Marcus was strong; no matter what he faced, he remained kind and deeply caring. He had a natural way of making people laugh and feel at ease, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was intelligent and full of dreams, with a spirit that drew people toward him.

He had a true passion for music and was an incredibly talented guitar player. Whether he was playing for himself or others, it brought him joy and allowed him to express who he was. Marcus loved spending time with friends and family, being spontaneous, and simply enjoying life in the moment.

Marcus is lovingly remembered by his many adoptive siblings: Curtis, Carson, Christa, Shaun, Andrea, Sam, Simon, Kyle, Johnson, and Michael Sexsmith, Chantelle, John, Kyle and Savannah Cooper. He is also remembered by his biological siblings: Ryan, Cassandra, Elaine, Tiffany, Billy, Jerry, and Bryanna Findlay. He will be deeply missed by many aunties, uncles, cousins, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

A celebration of life will be held on June 27, 2026 at 10:00AM, in Edson, Alberta, at the Edson Friendship Centre (5023 3 Ave, Edson, AB), where family and friends will gather to honor and remember Marcus.

Marcus will be forever missed and never forgotten. His laughter, his kindness, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
