Marco Flores

Marco Flores was born October 20, 1995, to Antonio Flores and Brenda Dawn Allen in La Mesa, CA. He joined his brother Ryan, and sister Shy, to complete the family.

When Marco was entering the first grade, the family moved to Leonardville, KS where he attended grade school through high school at Riley County. He received his diploma from Open Door in Manhattan.

Marco loved listening to and singing his favorite music, enjoyed watching wrestling, collecting wrestling cards, producing funny videos, and making people laugh. But most important, Marco loved spending time with his family and friends. He had a big heart and genuinely cared about people, especially people that others might look down on.

Marco moved to Florida in 2017, and because of his love for animals, he took a job and enjoyed working at a pet supermarket in Florida, where he met his beloved pet snake, Helga. His most recent job was when he became a whiskey specialist at Total Wine & More, where he was also able to teach a class and educate employees on good sales practices. Marco had an amazing personality and was loved by so many. Alongside his unwavering charisma, Marco was known for his humor, and making everyone smile and laugh. He will forever be missed by all those that knew him.
