Not sure what to say?

I worked with Marlan at Rules Amoco in Champaign while I was going to college in the late 80's. He was a good guy. My sympathies to his family

Marlon was always there to help when i worked at Whiteline. Always a good laugh or 2at work also. Sorry your los

Worked with Marlan for many years at Whiteline Express. If you needed help, an answer, or a chuckle, he was the guy to seek out. Sorry for your loss

Id like to extend my condolences to the family as I unfortunately wont be able to attend the services. I was fortunate enough to have worked with Marlan, or Santa Claus as we all liked to call him with his big beard, on the farm for many years. More often than not it was sharing laughs about giving each other a hard time whether it be about something one of us screwed up or just his normal witty comments. The hardest I ever saw him laugh was when I got caught in a downpoor while planting...

Marlan you will be missed at work. I can walk in mad and you would listen to my problem, then you would say thing that would comm me down. You are a Big Brother to me. R.I.P.

Single Memorial Tree

I remember him in the halls of RTHS with the FFA jacket... Always the FFA jacket. Super nice guy; the Earth will miss him. God bless the family.

Sending prayers and sympathy to all of your family.

You gave me my road test for Whiteline. You were a friendly face. You became a good friend. Rest easy sincerely Wendy Johnson. Trk#254.
