Marcellus Gilbert Biot

Marcellus Gilbert Biot, 78, was born in Brooklyn, New York to Muriel Marcellus Robinson and Claude Biot on June 2, 1946.  Marc was known and loved by family, friends, and neighbors.   He enlisted in the Navy while attending Compton High School. Marc served in Vietnam, assigned to the Construction Battalion. 

An avid baseball fan, Marc was a member of the West Coast College baseball team.  After graduation, Marc went on to attend the University of California, Irvine. While there, he became a member of the water polo team. Marc also enjoyed acting as peer counselor to fellow students who were also returning Vietnam Veterans.

Multi-talented, Marc developed a love for leather crafting, first as a cobbler at a local shoe shop in Orange County.  And then after moving to Sheridan, Wyoming, he was the sole leather craftsman at Fort McKenzie leather shop, repairing shoes and boots.  Secondly, he worked several years for Cowboy Products learning to make cowboy leather products. Marc’s lifelong passion throughout his childhood and adult life was baseball.  He continued that passion by forming several trophy-winning softball teams.   He was able to combine his love and his passion as the area’s only baseball repairman.  Marc was a cobbler, leather man, and all-around softball player.

Marc was introduced to Andree (Andi) Harrison by her father. They were married a year after the introduction. Preceded in death by his mother and his father, he is survived by his “last one, only one”, wife, Andi; their daughter Akili Turner (Willie); their granddaughter Ayanna Harrison (Wes Olivier) and their “other daughter” Deanna Morrell (Danny); and grandsons Elijah White and Solomon Morrell.

A member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled Veterans, and the American Legion, Marc will be interred with full military honors.
