Marlin worked as a Petroleum Engineer in Oklahoma City, Denver, and Tulsa over the course of his career. He loved attending football games at his alma mater, The University of Tulsa, enjoyed concerts, and going camping and fishing. Always the engineer, Marlin never missed an opportunity to share his love of rocks and understanding of the natural world.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Marlin’s name to the American Indian Science and Engineering Society to help support Indigenous peoples in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) studies.
