He then worked 18 years as an Insurance Fraud Investigator.
He married Tammie Ray from Miami Springs and would have been married 38 years in June. They had two beautiful daughters, Danelle Kristine and Kirstie Kylene.
Marlon and his family loved the Lord and loved serving their church. He was a member of First Baptist Church Lantana for 15 years and then First Baptist Church Boynton Beach for 22 years. Marlon was the drummer in the praise worship band. Music was very important in his life.

Marlon felt the Lord blessed him with playing and singing His praises through music and drums.
Marlon also enjoyed riding his Harley V Rod motorcycle. He and Tammie enjoyed riding A1A and the beautiful country backroads with their friends in Tennessee.
Family was always very important to Marlon. He loved his daughters very much and always was involved in their lives. Marlon was Gpa to Jaxson, Mikiah and Ryder and he felt so blessed by the Lord with his 3 grandsons.
Marlon’s life was richly blessed by the Lord with his family and dear friends. Truly a life taken too soon, but he is playing in the heavenly worship band and we will see him again!
