Marc Evan Caplan passed away at the age of 76, on September 27, 2024.

Marc, since an early age, had a passion for music, particularly the drums.  For over half a century, he was a celebrated drummer in the Kansas City area, sustaining his enthusiasm and talent for playing until just recently. A great brother; with friends too many to count. Add a scathing wit, critical thinking, a love of KC History, and there you have Marc.

He is survived by his brothers and sister-in-law Rick Caplan, Daniel and Puongtip Caplan; his nephews Ben Caplan and Daniel Clark, and nieces Erin Caplan and Lilli Caplan.

The family is grateful for the excellent care and concern he received by friends, staff at St. Luke's and Kansas City Hospice House.

At Marc's request, there will not be a funeral.
