Mr. Marzette worked for Suttles, for seven years as a dedicated mechanic. His life was showered with friendship from near and far. He always kept a smile with many, and always had a listening ear. Friends and neighbors can from miles around and asked for his help. He never turned them away, the small and honest favors has help us all in unknown ways. He will be truly missed, but we know he is at peace.
