Marc had been battling a long-term illness and on February 28 he was told he had Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Sadly his health "deteriorated" and he died just over four weeks later. His death tragically came just 10 weeks after his younger brother Chrissy died following a battle with cancerMarc's family told Leeds Live: "Marc was a true Yorkshire man through and through. He was a keen footballer and in his younger days, his ball never left his feet.
"Marc will always be remembered and missed by so many people. He had a face of kindness and an inspiration to anyone who met him. There was only one Marc Hitchings, he was a true character, everyone enjoyed being around him and people could always turn to him." His family added: "Within days Marc’s health significantly deteriorated and was moved into ICU. He tried his upmost, as he always did, through his life, to put up a good fight with the help of the nursing staff but sadly, he never returned home to his family and passed away."
