Marlin Johnke Obituary
Marlin was a "jack of all trades" and enjoyed several hobbies to include managing a bounce house business and his healthy obsession with collecting antiques. He was very involved in his daughters' lives as he volunteered/managed his daughters while in orchestra and coached/mentored the girls in soccer for several years. Marlin was a jokester at heart, always making others around him laugh. It was contagious.
Those left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Kelsee Lynn Johnke and Cecelia Adel Johnke; sister, Barbra Ballard and ex-wife and forever friend, Maria E. Johnke.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Marvin Johnke and Marie Lillian Majors and his daughter, Adrianna Elizabeth Johnke.
Family and friends plan a private gathering on Oct. 17, 2020, to pay tribute to Marlin and celebrate his life.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Marlin what happened? I am so sad to hear this. May you rest in peace my forever Friend. Marlin was the best person. He was always there to listen and to try and help in any way he could. God bless him. Sending prayers to his family, he loved his daughters very much and talked about them every time we spoke. May God be with yall during this sad time. R.I.P. Marlin
