Michael Marlin

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael P. Marlin, who passed away on May 15, 2026 at the age of 75.

Michael was born on October 2, 1950 in Philadelphia, PA to John and Fran Marlin. He was a loving husband, devoted father, step-father, PopPop, brother, and friend whose kindness and strength touched everyone who knew him.

He shared a special bond with his family and proudly supported his step children and grandchildren offering guidance, laughter, and unconditional love. Whether through advice, a helping hand or simply being present, he made a lasting impact on the lives of those around him.

MIke enjoyed cooking with his grandchildren, fishing with Murph, painting for DC 21 for 36 years, crabbing, and traveling with family and friends. He will be remembered for his humor, love of silly jokes, generosity and patience.

He is survived by his wife Catherine Hart, step daughter Sharon (Thomas), step son Kevin (Kristin), grandchildren Colin, Carly, Chase, Aubrie, Addisyn, and many extended family members and friends who will miss him deeply.

He is preceded in death by his first wife Carol Salayda, son Michael and brothers John and Joseph Marlin.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to “Survivors of Cancer”
