I was shocked to hear about Marlon's passing...too young. He was a neighbor around the corner growing up. I was glad to see him a couple times in the last couple years. Nice guy. Wished I could have spent more time around him over the years. My condolences to the family.

Marlin and I worked side by side at North Charleston High School. I taught Spanish and he of course taught French. Dapper, kind, caring, giving, and with an amazing sense of humor. I know his students loved him so... I am just broken hearted by such a huge and powerful force who is no longer here and is needed so much during this incredibly tumultuous time in history. He has and had the power to change minds and lives. Please continue to guide us from your heavenly place. You are loved and missed so much.

Anybody who ever met Marlin *once* never forgot him, so I consider it a sincere honor and privilege to have called him a friend since our days working together at the City of Charleston. A true gentleman and scholar in the fullest sense of the expression. A unique soul like no other I have known. I will always cherish knowing him, as everyone who knew Marlin is better off because of it.

Marlin was the friendly face that made sure my Knob year in T Company was as painless as possible, and he became the friend who would call or text though the last 30 years to let me know he was watching my personal and professional growth. We even spoke just a few weeks ago about ideas he had for his desires to launch another business idea. Who knew those would be our last chats? I’m just thankful that we shared those thoughts and laughs. He was one one of the best souls to grace this planet.

Dors en paix, mon frère. Que les ailes d'anges te ramènent à la gloire. Je te reverrai un jour.

People judge the life you lived by the memories you leave and Marlin made so many people so happy. Everyone he came in contact with was enriched by his beautiful smile and infectious laugh. The pride in his parents mirrored the pride people had just for having known him and being blessed with his kindness. Vernon and I will miss him dearly and know that God has welcomed him to his reward in heaven.

This is very hard to take! You've always been a brother to me than a friend. You and your Mom have supported me and my children from the very 1st day that we met. I thank God for the many years of friendship that we've shared together. On day #3 of crying, I was able to set back and reflect on all the hollering you, Marcus and I did together. Memories that I could never forget. Our bond was strong and real to the end. I love you Uncle Marlin as my kids would say. I will see you again someday and what a time that will be!
