Marlan was more than just a dear friend- he was our brother-in-law. He was someone we could laugh with, cry with, and everything in between. He will be deeply missed as we cherish the many, many memories of all we have shared over the decades. He enriched our lives tremendously.

Our dear Uncle Marlan.
An amazing man who was always humble, kind, creative, and full of joy. A friendly man, he could always make you smile, was the best 'tickler' ever, and he could BBQ the most delicious Easter ham! He will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace, Uncle Marlan. With love,
