Marcus Wayland, 86, of Southlake, Texas, passed away Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022.
He was born July 25, 1936 in Remmel, Ark., to Joe Cleaburn Wayland and Ola Francis Koettle. He grew up on his family’s farms and graduated from Walnut Ridge High School in 1954. In 1954, he married his high school sweetheart, Margaret Emma Scarlett. They lived in many places, wherever bricklaying jobs took them, and had sons in Monroe, La., (Darell and Brian), Longview, Texas, (Alan), and Grapevine, Texas (Scott).
Marcus learned the bricklaying trade with his father-in-law and brothers-in-law. He worked with his brother, Douglas Wayland, in East Texas as well. In 1962, he moved to Southlake, where he lived the remainder of his life. He became a brick contractor, homebuilder, owner of a marble company, oil and gas producer and operator, owned several commercial properties, and participated in several different entrepreneurial enterprises. He was a member of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce and participated in many Chamber events. He was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ and most recently attended the Colleyville Church of Christ. He and Margaret enjoyed traveling, cards and games, working puzzles, but mostly spending time with family.
