Marlin Ray Walker, 87, of Sykesville, PA, died on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at his home surrounded by his family.
Born on August 19, 1939, to the late Fred and Mary (Fox) Walker in Sykesville. Marlin married the love of his life, Nancy M. Pendelton on March 19, 1960. They enjoyed nearly 67 wonderful years together; Nancy survives him. He is also survived by his son: Randy (Alberta) Walker; his daughter: Cathy (Chris) Satterlee; four grandchildren: Amanda (Chad) Glasgow, Heather (Nathan) Alvetro, Cody (Brittany) Satterlee, and Chelsea (Alex) McGarvey. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. He is also survived by eight great-grandsons: Logan, Gavin, and Hunter Glasgow, Bricen, Bentley, and Braxton Alvetro, and Jack and Sawyer Satterlee. Marlin is also survived by two brothers: Ben (Rhoda) Walker, and Ken (Belynn) Walker; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Marlin worked hard his whole life, starting at a very young age as a mason in his father’s business, but his heart was in trucking. He bought his first truck in 1963 and drove truck for many years. When he retired from trucking, he went to work for his nephew at Walker & Walker Equipment where he worked until retirement.
Marlin was a faithful, loving man who will be missed by everyone who had the privilege to know him.
In addition to his parents, Marlin was preceded in passing by two brothers: Glenn Walker and Fred “Lawrence” Walker; and two sisters: Sylvia Kitchener and Shirley Larimar.
