There are many more heroes in this world than people realize. Marc was one of my heroes. He was a great swim coach, he was a great leader, and he was a great English teacher. He came to visit us a few years ago, and we had a great time talking about our high school days and some of the funny things that had happened. He was a kind man, and a very understanding man. We’ve kept in touch over the years through Facebook messaging, and he always had my back when I havehad down times. He will be Missed by so many people, rightfully so. My condolences to the whole family for losing such a great man unexpectedly. Best wishes, Mike Westwood

Alan and I have such wonderful memories of Mr. Mac. We not only remember him as a teacher, but Alan remembers him as his swim coach and I remember him as part of my dad‘s (Mr. McConnell) group of fellow teachers from Methacton. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to visit him twice in the past few years. The memories that Mark and Alan shared during those visits were wonderful to hear. Our condolences, Marty McConnell Parker

Words cannot express how I feel about this man. He was a dedicated swim coach, a mentor, and a father figure to thousands of kids he coached during his time with Methacton Swim Club. Those positive memories will be forever engrained in my heart and my mind. I'm not sure where I'd be in this world had it have not been for swimming and coach Mark McElwee. Thank you for everything Coach Mac.

I'm grateful for Mark's friendship - at Methacton Community Theater and Methacton School District. I'm especially grateful that my husband, Mark, and I got to have dinner with him at his favorite place, The Collegeville Diner, just last week. Our deepest sympathy and condolences go to his family, of whom he spoke quite often.
