While serving his country he married his high school sweetheart, Jeananne Fliger, on April 4, 1955, in Honolulu, Hawaii. This union brought one son, Craig (Alison) Johnson, and two daughters, Marla (Jeff) Engels, and Anell Johnson.

Marland was a wonderful man full of many gifts, talents and excelled at everything he did.

He will be sorely missed.

The family has requested that any flowers be sent to the Autumn Springs Assisted Living Facility Staff and residents for their wonderful care and support.
