James Marlow

**In Loving Memory of James Marlow**

James Marlow, a cherished resident of Mason, Ohio, departed this world peacefully at his home, enveloped in the warmth of his devoted daughter, granddaughter & friend. A man of remarkable honor, James served his nation with pride in The United States Army, exemplifying the virtues of duty and commitment.

To his beloved daughter, Tracy Doeding, James was not only a father but a steadfast source of strength and guidance. He treasured his role as a grandfather to Kristen, Matthew, Luke, Felicity, Adam and Kelsey, and as a great-grandfather to Kenlee, Emmalyn, Everley, Eli, Charli, Collin, Luna, A.J., and Jane. His legacy of love continues to resonate through the lives of these children, who will carry his memory in their hearts.

James is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Betty, along with his son, Jimmy, grandson, Adam and son-in-law, Mark. Their absence leaves a profound void, yet the love they shared remains a beacon of hope and remembrance for the family.

An accomplished tool and die specialist, James possessed an unmatched dedication to his craft. His meticulous approach to every project, from the initial stages to the final touches, showcased his remarkable attention to detail—a true testament to his character.

A lover of the outdoors, James cherished his Tennessee roots and found joy in the magnificent mountains and rolling hills. His passion for adventure was evident as he reveled in 4-wheeling through nature's landscapes. He spent many years as his son's mechanic, as Jimmy traveled in the motocross racing circuit. His love of fishing took him constantly to the ocean on his boat with his son. Yet, perhaps his greatest joy came from the moments he spent with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Together, they created a tapestry of memories that will be cherished for generations to come.

James Marlow embodied integrity, honor, and above all, an unwavering love for his family—his most treasured possessions. He dedicated his life to hard work to provide for his family while alive and beyond. Few can match his extraordinary talents and vibrant personality. Though he will be profoundly missed, his spirit and love will forever remain in the hearts of those he touched, a lasting tribute to a life well-lived.
