Marley grew up in South St. Paul, served his time in the Navy, then met his forever love Cheryl. They settled in Inver Grove Heights and raised their family. He is most known for becoming a self-made businessman and founding Danner Inc. His drive and passion for construction got him nicknamed “Mad Dog” and kept him working into his last days. Marley’s other love was spending the winter months in Las Vegas with his wife Cheryl. He was often the last man at the poker table and the first one at the golf course. Those that knew him well know that he was a tough man with a tender heart. And in true Marley fashion, “Are you happy now?”, we all know that he is. Marley is survived by his daughters, Kristine Chirhart and Jennifer (John Hartung) Danner; grandchildren, Sarah, Jeffrey, Kenny, Aleczander and Bryan; great-grandchildren, Kallie, Alanah, Rhett, Zachary, Leo, and Bradley; siblings, Dorothy Bohrer, Jerry (Barb) Danner.
