At God’s appointed time Marcus Ramon James was born in Savannah, Georgia on January 31, 1986. The loving son of Ruby Lynn James and Charles Fripp.

Marcus was a loving son, brother, uncle, Godfather, and friend. Marcus was 6 months old when his mom dedicated her life to God becoming saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled. All of this was done under a Gospel Tent under the leadership of Apostle Frank Mobley Sr. and from that time Marcus was reared in the church. At the age of one year old Marcus was christened at Pentecostal Miracle Deliverance, Apostle Idell Cheever performing the ceremony. He grew up under the ministry of Apostle Frank Mobley Sr. where he also became saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled at an early age, and receiving spiritual education based on biblical teaching. After the homegoing of Apostle Mobley, Marcus continued to be a dedicated member of Miracle Evangelistic Church Of God under the leadership of his mom Overseer Ruby James. Marcus was a faithful member of the church accepting the call of God as Minister James in 2021. He was a very good speaker with the gifts of the spirit being present in his life. He had lots of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, He was one that could give good spiritual counseling when needed. He was the church Key board player (self-taught) and a very good drummer. He was also the key board player New Jerusalem Church, with Pastor Jocquett Carroll until his homegoing. Marcus was a “die-hard” Philadelphia Eagles fan, and “Marc The Chef” was a great cook.
