Marlin proudly served his country with the United States Air Force where he trained both to be a culinary chef and in data processing. He often joked that he only knew how to cook for 50 people or more! Given his later service in the Air National Guard, Marlin was honored to be discharged at the rank of Staff Sergeant. He then went on to pursue a decades-long career selling large scale computers for Honeywell. He finally retired after 25 years with the company, only to finally be able to fulfill his dream of returning to the family farm in his hometown of Luverne. There were few things he enjoyed more than tending to his farm and cows, as well as keeping his tractor running in tip-top shape. In his free time, he also enjoyed restoring old cars and researching genealogy. Above all, he was a devoted husband to his beloved wife of 68 years, Betty, as well as father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. No matter what, he always considered his family his greatest blessing on earth and loved them with all of his heart.

Marlin was preceded in death by his son, Morgan Keith Jeffcoat; parents, Morgan Franklin Jeffcoat and Winnie Mae Butts; and brother, James Mark Jeffcoat.
