However, he was proud of his Oklahoma roots. He signed his first lease, bought his first car and adopted a dog named Damu. Marlin and Sarah explored many places together and had plans and dreams of traveling to many more places. Marlin also met his best friend James in Kansas. He often spoke of his new life as being what he had always hoped.

Lauded for being loyal and likable people who knew him spoke of his infectious smile and larger than life personality that had a way of attracting.

Marlin was proud of his mother’s military service. He adored his grandparents and was so thankful for the time spent with his brother Oral; he truly loved all of his family. Marlin’s legacy lives on through his daughter Ariana. He wanted nothing more than to be an excellent dad to his little girl. Marlin is missed but not forgotten.

    He was and still is a Beautiful Soul… He inherited the Love Compassion and Standing Up for others from his Parents and Grandparents… His Physical fight became to Hard on Earth… So, He’s crawled up inside of Each of You to Combine His Strength with Yours, to keep Fighting for the Voiceless… He’s reminding You to put Compassion and Love first with Yourself and Others… So, even though His body is Gone… Feel Him comfortably Resting in Your Hearts Womb… Encouraging Smiling and Loving You through Your Trying Times… Because, God Promises Us… This Pain will surely Pass…And Soon You will Faithfully Smile again when You think of Him! Love You All!

    Didn’t this “man” kill another innocent human being and shoot police officers? I suggest you ask for prayers for his soul! His action proves he needs them.
