Kenny Marlin

Kenneth Ray Marlin, age 72, passed away peacefully at his home in Lynnville, Tennessee on April 3, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Kenny was born on November 2, 1952, in Maury County, Tennessee to the late Robert and Wilma Behel. A man deeply devoted to his family, Kenny lived a life full of warmth, humor, and love. He found great joy in the simple pleasures—hunting, relaxing with loved ones, and especially spoiling his grandchildren. His happiest moments were spent on family vacations in Panama City Beach, where his laughter and stories will long be remembered.

Kenny shared a special bond with his oldest granddaughter, Jordan Frizzell, who was also his first grandchild. Their relationship was filled with love, trust, and countless cherished memories.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Bonnie Marlin; his children: Kaiden Shrader, Robert Lambert (Renee), April Dickey (David), Jennifer Chandler (Mark), Beth Wiser, Angela Luna, and Crystal Wallace; his beloved grandchildren, including his first grandchild Jordan Frizzell (Chris), along with 17 additional grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren; his sister, Janet Dye (Donnie); and his father-in-law, William Gniposky.

Kenny’s legacy will be honored by pallbearers David Dickey, Jr., David Dickey, Sr., Marty Herndon, Hayden Luna, Shaun Howard, and Robert Lambert. Honorary pallbearers include Carson Lambert, Noah Frizzell, Reign Olascoaga, Marjour Hill, and Isaiah Hightower.

A service celebrating Kenny’s life will be held on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM at Williams Funeral Home in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee. The family will receive friends earlier that day beginning at 10:00 AM, until the start of the service. Kenny will be laid to rest at Bailey Cemetery in Mount Joy.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.
