Marlyn lived most of his life between Barnard, MO and Marshall, MO. He worked many years at Land Construction and Herzog Construction.

He was known for living a simple life and had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. He enjoyed bringing chocolates from the local grocery store to his grand children at Christmas time just to see their faces light up. Some of his favorite pastimes were feeding the ducks, geese, Baltimore orioles, and hummingbirds. He also spent many hours watching over his son and grandson's cattle herd, especially at calving time. Marlyn had many friends and enjoyed going to one of the many local coffee/pop hangouts with the guys.

He is survived by his son, Mark (Joy) Beattie, his daughter, Melinda (Mike) Dennis, his grandchildren, Alyssa, Rachelle, Matthew, Kameron, and Schylar, and several great grandchildren.
