"Marcado" is used here as something (an event) that has caused a very deep impression on someone's life.

Do you mean dialed (called someone on the phone)?
Me ha marcado mucho. = He/she has dialed/called me a lot.

Yes. It's right.

You can use the word Marcado as called someone.

I'm sorry. I missed the word in my mind.

For example. I can say ( I have called to my sister yesterday)

@Rusty: "Marcar" in that sense would mean "to dial", so "me ha marcado mucho" would be that they have called many times, but that doesn't seem the case.
That sentence is usually meant for a life experience.

I was only helping Crotalito to select the right verb in English for his suggestion.

So is "marcado" the verb (marcadarse or something) to be conjugated? Or is the idiom require the "ha"?

Also, lately I have been contemplating the idea that Spanish uses the passive voice much less frequently than does English. So does this avoid the more passive "Mi vida impacté por...." or "Me impacté por..."??
