Marlin Wayne Staton, age 88, passed away on Friday, August 7, 2026. He was born on December 7, 1937, in Blount County, Alabama, to Hershel and Ethel (Morton) Staton. Wayne was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Scottsboro. He retired from Revere Copper and Brass, where he worked as a tension mill operator. Wayne had many interests throughout his life, but few brought him as much enjoyment as golf. His love for the game began at a very early age while working at a golf course in Marshall County, Alabama. That early experience grew into a lifelong passion, and Wayne continued playing golf for as long as he was physically able. He also loved traveling, fishing, and gardening. Wayne especially enjoyed the many road trips he took across the United States with friends and fellow church members. Those journeys provided countless experiences, memories, and friendships that he treasured throughout his life. Music was another important part of Wayne’s life. An avid collector, he accumulated records, tapes, and jukeboxes over the years and had a special appreciation for bluegrass music. Above all, Wayne’s life was centered around the people he loved. He is survived by his daughter, Melanie (Steve) Johnson, and Tim Haston; his grandchildren, Ben (Robyn) Johnson, Tyler (Mary Margaret) Johnson, Paige (Garon) Machen, Sydney (Brandon) McGee, Corey Haston, Chris Haston, Anthony (Keisha) Haston, Wimberly (Cade) Smith, and Windsor Haston; his sister, Brenda...
