Hello ! My name is John Christopher Marquard, though most call me J.C. I'm currently on Florida's Death Row, my case is pending appeals. Due to issues of a sensitive nature, and being advised by counsel, I am unable to discuss the details of my case with anyone. However, I can say that my issues are strong ones and I am hopeful (if not confident) that I'll win a new trial in which, if I do not win my freedom immediately I will at least see a time when I will be free in the future.
Anyhow, life on death row is very lonely. I am a single widower, father of one child - a daughter born May 20, 1991, who was adopted out by her mother, I have never seen even a photo of her. To say she is in my thoughts daily is not even close. Hopefully, someday I'll find her or she me. I keep a journal of letters and of thoughts and emotions for her just in case. Something to let her know how I love her even if I was not there for her. Truly one of my deepest regrets in my life.
I've been incarcerated since November 17th, 1991. I have no open lines of communication with my family - other than the occasional message, like telling me when one of my people dies. My father doesn't acknowledge me ...my sister never writes...I have no friends who write or visit me, except for a catholic Bishop I've known for 13 years, and then thats infrequent as he is much busy with his duties.
I am 33 yrs old,(D.O.B Oct. 16, 1966) 6ft. tall, 166 lbs, have brown hair, hazel green eyes. I am very open minded, an outgoing person with a very friendly yet strong personality. I am seeking honest and loyal friendships. I enjoy meeting people, getting to know them for who they are. No need for pretenses with me. I welcome to listen to your thoughts and opinions about anything. I like to consider myself a thoughtful and understanding listener and confidant. One you can always turn to when you're in need of a good friend to hear you out.
I also enjoy intellectually stimulating
conversation, as well as just joking around and having a good laugh.
Among my interests are the Arts, Science, and Technology, Philosophy, the
Environment & its conservation. I am a compulsive letter answerer,
probably because I enjoy writing. Would you like to know more about
me ? Well, then I would enjoy hearing from you ! Anyone
is Welcomed !!! Will answer to all ! If possible, please
enclose a photo of yourself, and sending a stamp will make it easier for
me to respond back. Thank you ! Hope to be hearing from
potentially long lasting friends. Write to me at :
