RIP MARCO LESHER (August 12, 1979 – October 8, 2024)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Tuesday at 10:59 p.m.
Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on November 28, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back from the lab.
This is considered an accidental, i.e., unintentional, overdose.
Marco was beyond talented at just about everything he did. Basketball he had a 42” vertical, he was a master at the piano and won the state championship in Hawaii at the Brown bags to stardom. He learned guitar at the age of 18 and became one of the best musicians I’ve ever had the experience to play with. He was a brother and dear friend. Rest peacefully bro!
