The gathering will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the lobby of Center Point, 401 S. Hamilton St.
Marks, who was 62, joined Mulberry, Fla.-based Badcock in 1998 and retired as president and CEO in 2008. Under his leadership, the chain increased profits and adopted new marketing and supply chain management practices, as well as a new store concept.
He was active in charities and his community, and in 2005 won the Spirit of Life Award from City of Hope, a nonprofit medical research and treatment center for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
Living Gift forms will be available at the High Point event for anyone wishing to make a memorial contribution to City of Hope.
