I miss Marlin **alot**…. . Great video, BigMike.

I have decided that if Marlin is not in the Off Road Hall of Fame, that group has no merit or value. Just because you went four wheeling your entire life does not put a person the HOF... making an impact and leaving a legacy is more than enough merit.

How could he not be ? I still have a late 80's mag with Marlin at V rock when the truck was blue, grey, worn looking. Inspired me, I wanted to be there, doing that. Always looked forward to his next innovation, more so tho, always looked forward to our next conversation.

Super nice celebration of life! Marlin was the most genuine person i've ever meet. only met him a few times. last time i saw him was at Cruise Moab when his arm was in a sling...
Sorry for your loss Mike and family.

I saw somewhere that Marlin was inducted into the Offroad Hall of Fame now!
