A funeral service will be held at Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines on Monday, December 3, 2018 at 11 a.m. with a visitation starting at 10 a.m. Burial will take place at Christ Lutheran Church in Pickrell, NE.

Marlow was born August 17, 1944 in Beatrice, NE to Jurgen and Fannie (Bauman) Remmers. After graduating from high school, he went on to Dana College and received his bachelor's degree in Accounting. Marlow was very active in church and was a proud Alpha member, where he led prayer groups and never turned down an opportunity to help others. Marlow was very passionate about the ICM (International Cooperating Ministries) where he had the privilege of building churches in 3rd world countries. He truly was a selfless person and lived to give. Marlow excelled in athletics and enjoyed cheering on the Huskers.

Left to cherish his memory is his son, Matthew; brother, Les (Deb) Remmers; and many extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, and two brothers, Orville and Darryl Remmers.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be directed to the family.

Peggy and I were saddened to hear of Marlow's passing. He had been a groomsman when we were married in 1971. I'm thankful that I was able to visit him in Oct. of 2018 in Des Moines. We had a great day together and his spirits seemed high.

Marlow was one of the best friends you could have. I never knew him to have an enemy. Likeable and always ready to help. We will miss Marlow but always remember him. We've lost a great friend but God has gained a true follower.
