Sergeant Marcotte suffered a fatal heart attack while participating in the running portion of the department's annual physical fitness test at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan. During the run his supervisor was called back to the station and left Sergeant Marcotte to continue alone. A short time later a military officer in base housing called 911 to report a man lying on the sidewalk in front of his house. Attempts to revive Sergeant Marcotte using CPR failed and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Sergeant Marcotte had served with the Department of Defense Police for 20 years. He is survived by his wife, son, and daughter.

Dennis

It's been a while since I left my first posting to you. You were "one of a kind", the "sniper". I know that you know how much paperwork and red tape that I had to go through to get your name listed on the Memorial Wall in Washington. I think that you are also listed on the wall that Oakland County started doing a few years after your watch ended. You are gone, but never forgotten. Rest in peace sir, rest in peace.
