Marlin Russell Garrett was born December 29, 1959, in Lawton, OK to his parents Franklin Davison & Beulah Ann (Garroute) Garrett and passed from this life on September 7, 2023, at the age of 63.

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.

Preceded in death by his father, Marlin is survived by his mother; his daughters and sons-in-law, Kathryn Garrett & David Hull and Ashley & Stevie Fernandez; and his grandchildren, Sofia, Heidi, Finnik and Vivien.

A memorial service will be held 10:00 a.m. Saturday, September 16, 2023, at the Ninde Brookside Chapel, 3841 S. Peoria, Tulsa, OK.

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.
