WILLIE LEROY MARLOWE, a beloved figure in the Dallas community, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2025, at his home in Dallas, Texas. A proud Dallas native, Willie was born on April 7, 1942, and spent his life contributing to the vibrant culture of his hometown.
Willie dedicated his career as a manager at Dobbs House, where his commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of his work. Known for his quiet demeanor and impeccable attention to detail, he took great pride in maintaining a neat and organized environment. His colleagues admired not only his professionalism but also his ability to lighten the mood with a well-timed joke. Willie's personality was a source of joy and humor, bringing smiles to those around him.
An avid fan of television, Willie particularly enjoyed westerns, football, and basketball. He was a devoted supporter of the Dallas Cowboys, passionately cheering for his team through every season. He found immense joy in these hobbies, often sharing his enthusiasm with family and friends.
As we celebrate Willie's life, we remember his kind heart and the laughter he brought into our lives. He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, humor, and quiet strength that will be cherished by those who knew him.
