He was a member of, served on the board, and taught Sunday School at Coffey’s Chapel Community Church. Marion and his loving wife, Cynthia, began every day with coffee and prayer time.

After his retirement from Commercial Refrigeration of Kentucky, Marion started a new career as deputy and court security officer with the Russell County Sheriff’s Department.
Marion was a committed family man. His solid advice was often sought and freely given. Marion and Cynthia loved spending their time together.
