Marlowe M. Taylor, son of Ethel Atkins and the late Charles

Taylor, was born on February 10, 1956. On Friday June 7,

2019 the spirit of the Lord whispered "Peace Be Still" to one

of his most faithful servants and Marlowe entered into eternal

rest.

Marlowe received his education in Baltimore City Public

Schools. In 1985 he gave his life to Christ and his life was

forever changed. Marlowe was a dedicated employee of the

Motor Vehicle Administration for more than twelve years.

MY A wasn't simply a place of employment for him; they

were truly his work family. Marlowe was a faithful member

of Dorcas Freewill Baptist Church from 2012 until the day the

Lord called him home. He was a devoted servant and served

diligently in any capacity needed.

On June 12, 2002, Marlowe married the love of his life,

Melva Taylor. They enjoyed traveling together and spending

time with family and friends.

Marlowe was a true definition of a family man. Spending time

with the people he loved was important to him. He shared a

special bond with his great-granddaughter Maddison, for

whom he called "The little one". He made every day a happy

occasion and was truly ajoy to be around. To know him, was

to love him. Always aiming to please, never to disappoint. His

words of encouragement and infectious laughter will truly be

missed. The impact he had on those he came in contact with

is immeasurable.

Marlowe was a sports fanatic! He enjoyed watching his

favorite teams such as the Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Ra-

vens and the Golden State Warriors. Marlowe had a passion

for helping others and worked various side jobs which includ-

ed painting. He was most committed to the work he per-

formed at the church and did so without hesitation. Marlowe

did it all from opening the church doors, cleaning the church

to standing on his post every Sunday.

Marlowe was preceded in death by his brothers, Tyrone and

Derrick Taylor, stepfather, Thomas Atkins and as they say it,

"man's best friend", his dog, Obama. He leaves to cherish his

memory, his devoted wife, Melva; his loving mother, Ethel;

mother-in-law, Holmszella; children, Stacey, Malinda, Natalie

and J arod; siblings, Eugene, Charlene, twin sister Darlowe .

(Ronald), Cindy, Sandra, Tynita, Gerard, Charnaka, Ralph,

Virgie; one brother in law, Melvin (Caroline); one sister in law,

Kim (Vic) and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren,

nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.
