Nearly 20 years ago, during a very challenging time in my life, Prof. Maurer's care and expertise made an incredible difference. Without his help, I would not have been able to complete my studies, which ultimately shaped the foundation of my career today.
I am deeply saddened by this tragic loss. His professional care, intelligence, dedication, talent and kindness made a lasting impression on me. I will always remain grateful for his dedication and compassion.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family during this time of grief.

It is with deep sadness that we learned this news in Mexico. Professor Marcus Maurer will always live in our memory as a kind, intelligent human being dedicated to helping us understand the most complex aspects of allergic diseases, especially Urticaria, Angioedema and Atopic Dermatitis. Rest in peace dear Prof Maurer

Just found out today through his podcast that he past. Saddest news ive heard in a while. 18 years I've suffered with Chronic Hives and this man here is one of the reasons I still hold on to this life. If not for him and his information and message of hope, im not sure where i'd be. I had actually wished to meet him in person one day and thank him. On your behalf anyone that I can help in the future, I will be sure to mention the name, Prof. Marcus Maurer. Thank you!

Ich habe Prof. Maurer nie persönlich getroffen, ihn aber online erlebt - als sehr sympathischen, klugen und witzigen Menschen. Ich bin sehr traurig, dass er nicht mehr unter uns weilt.
Mein sehr herzliches Beileid gilt seiner Famile, Freunden und Kolleg:innen.

É a terceira vez que escrevo e agora em português e preciso escrever o que, de tantas lembranças incríveis , a minha despedida de doutorado que guardarei com muito carinho. Sempre serei grata por tanto que recebi de você, e da sua família, no dia da minha despedida de doutorado na sua casa. Você com a camiseta do Brasil e todos da equipe também, fui tão bem recebida, fizemos tantas caipirinhas. Meus sentimentos à família. Você continua sendo gigante, um brilho enorme, mesmo neste outro mundo.

Our sincere condolences to his family and friends, from the Allergology-Immunology department at CHU Brugmann Brussels, Belgium. It was a pleasure working with Prof. Dr. Maurer on several research projects over the years. His generosity in sharing knowledge was endless. I am specifically grateful for his insightful feedback, constructive appraisals and encouragement. His availability and personal approach have enriched my academic experience. Thank you for all the literature and scientific contributions, it has shaped the trajectory of my research as well as my person.

If a story makes you heartbroken when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. In my six years here at AG Maurer, working alongside with Marcus, I never experienced anything but joy and fulfillment. I miss you so much, Marcus.

Ich habe soeben von der Nachricht gelesen und bin zutiefst bestürzt. Ich habe Marcus vor Jahren noch in Mainz kennengelernt und wir haben einiges gemeinsam publiziert. Ich habe Marcus seitdem immer wieder gesehen und gesprochen und habe ihn als offenen und neugierigen Wissenschaftler sehr geschätzt. Sehr traurige Nachricht. Mein tiefstes Beileid.

So shocked and devestated to find about the departure of the dearest prof.Maurer.
Not only a best doctor , most skillful in his specialty, but a wonderful caring warm personality.
He was so much into helping medically and personally , which can nit be taken for granted.
We will miss him , and keep his memory as the best ever humane Allergologist- for me.
Pitty no one sustituted him.
May he rest in peace.
Will always be remembered as an
angel.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this condolence message for Professor Marcus Maurer. I had the immense privilege of working with him from 2011 to 2014, and those years were among the most meaningful in my life and career. Marcus was not only an extraordinary clinician and brilliant scientist but, above all, a deeply compassionate human being. Despite being one of the busiest people in the world, he always made time to help others with a generosity of spirit that was truly rare.
I learned so much in his lab, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and support. Without his mentorship, I could not have reached the goals I have today. His impact on my life and career is immeasurable, and I will always cherish the memories of the time we spent together.
Marcus, it is heartbreaking to have to remember you in this way. I wish I could have expressed to you just how much I respected you, how much I admired you, and how often I thought of you—both when you were here and even now that you are gone. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of everyone you touched. Whether in this world or another, you will forever remain alive in my heart and memory.
I will miss you, Marcus, and I will always carry your smile and your kindness with me.
With deepest respect and sorrow,
Rohit

Mi querido Marcus,
Tengo que escribir español porque cuando escribo de corazón, no se sale en ningún otro idioma y porque tu seguramente, puedes entenderme. Hoy, en una bella pero muy triste ceremonia te dimos nuestro último adiós. Aún parece imposible pensar que no vamos a volver a verte. Recuerdo, cuando con gran ilusión y expectativa, llegué a tu oficina el 12 de septiembre de 2012 para tener mi primera entrevista. Con fascinación había escuchado tu presentación en el DRFZ y me sentía muy emocionada de tener la oportunidad de trabajar en tu grupo. Me siento muy orgullosa de pertenecer al mejor grupo de investigación del mundo, de sentirme apreciada y motivada, porque siempre tenías la mejor forma para impulsarnos a ser siempre mejor y a conseguir todo lo que anhelamos. Recordaré siempre tu desbordante alegría, tu capacidad de transmitir, tu generosidad, tu humor, tu gran visión y esa inagotable energía que nos contagiaba a todos los que te rodeaban. Solo el tiempo podra ayudarnos a aceptar tu ausencia que en estos momentos es inmensamente dolorosa. Gracias Marcus por haber creado un mundo mejor. Descansa en paz.

Auf dem Weg der Trauer hast du zwei Gefährten:
das Weinen um den Verlust und die Dankbarkeit für das Erlebte.
Lieber Marcus, ich bin zutiefst dankbar dich kennengelernt zu haben, dankbar viele Jahre ein Teil Deines Teams gewesen zu sein, dankbar für das Gefühl in eine Familie gekommen zu sein. Du warst der beste Chef der Welt.
Dein Verlust ist unbeschreiblich.
Wir werden dich nie vergessen und unendlich vermissen.

Thanks for walking into my life and for being part of my life journey. I will always remember all the academic and life advice you had given me. You changed the course of my career path and the way I think completely. Globally, you have inspired countless people and touched their life through your positive attitude, life philosophy, generosity, charisma, open heart and warmth -- including me. We will always be grateful for your contribution to humanity. You will always, always be remembered, Marcus.
Many people walk into our lives. Sometimes, someone so special walks into yours, leaving an indelible mark, completely changing the course, direction and future path of your career and life. And you are eternally grateful to have met this special person.
That’s Marcus to me, and to many, many others whom I know as well.
Thank you so much, Marcus, for the kindness, generosity, mentorship, collaboration, inspiration, encouragement and opportunities you had provided. I will always remember your compassion, teaching and guidance.
No words could describe my gratitude to you, Marcus.
May you rest in peace.
