Marlin accepted Christ as his Saviour at an early age and was baptized at Tabernacle Baptist Church where he served faithfully as a member until 2009.  He later joined his wife and became a faithful member of Oak Street A.M.E.

He was an avid jogger and was often seen early in the mornings running as his form of exercise. He participated in many 5k & 10k races. He loved assisting with the Boys Scouts and enjoyed the outdoor activities, especially camping.
