Erin Downey-Silcoff sends a collection of shared memories from Facebook about Marc: October 21, 2012

I thought I would collect these ...

 

From Raoul Bhaneja:   Saddened to hear of the passing of musician and top theatre composer/sound designer Marc Desormeaux. Growing up in Ottawa he created the music for the first professional shows I ever did with the Ottawa Shakespeare Festival in 1993. Even cooler than that, a year or two before, despite being a bunch of young kids who had no idea what we were doing he agreed to let The Last Minute Band, my band in high school play our very first gig at ON TAP on Rideau Street. He was a great guy and incredible to work with. I know over the years a lot more people in the theatre got to know him and besides being so very good at what he did he was someone you'd like to be around.
RIP Marc Desormeaux

From Glenn Davidson:  I designed a show at GCTC that Marc co-created called Time After Time where he played jazz trumpeter Chet Baker. A wonderfully talented and sweet guy. So sorry to hear this terrible news. RIP

From Andrea Karamomg:  Raoul, please email me on FB and tell me what happened...We used to be close buds back in the day of his band, my band, etc...Please let me know, this is so tragic. Where was he living?

 

From Pierre Brault:  Thank you Marc Desormeaux for all your wonderful talent and the many laughs. You made all of us sound better and you will be sorely, sorely missed.
