Robert Wiley Marr III's Obituary
Robert Wiley Marr III, lovingly known as Wiley to some, and Bob to others, was born on February 5, 1952.
Wiley was a proud graduate of Towson State University, where he earned his degree in criminology. He went on to build a long and respected career in security, serving colleges as well as private and federal buildings with commitment and professionalism.
Outside of his work, Wiley found great enjoyment in the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and an expert marksman who especially enjoyed skeet shooting and target shooting. His skill and dedication to the sport earned him several awards, which is a testament to both his precision and passion.
Wiley was a proud American, he loved this country. He had a deep passion for American history, and those who helped shape it with a particular interest in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and of course, the Vietnam War. You asked Wiley about history, and he could tell you the dates, the places, and the people who served. His knowledge was as impressive as it was heartfelt. He also held a sincere respect for the history and traditions of American Indians, appreciating their culture and enduring legacy.
Above all, Wiley loved his family deeply. He cherished time spent with his great nephews Jacob Connor Scarlett and William Mason Scarlett, and his great niece Madeline Brook Scarlett.
He leaves behind his sister, Denzil Duvrese Marr Scarlett, whom he called Shorty, his brother in-law, Leo R. Scarlett and his nephew, Ryan Mathew Scarlett. Along with his aunt Theresa Mundy Jesser, and uncle Dr. Jackson (Jack) Marr (partner Dr. Sigrid Gustafson), as well as several cousins.
Wiley was in the caring hands of Andraea Streams, owner of Alma’s Grace Assisted Living, along with her dedicated and loving staff. The members of this adult care home became family to Wiley, sharing a bond of compassion and genuine care for one another. Wiley reunited with his parents, Robert Wiley Marr Jr and Duvrese Mundy Marr on April 10, 2026, and is enjoying a joyful reunion in the house of the Lord.
Wiley will be deeply missed by his sister and all those who loved and cared for him, but his memory will forever remain in their hearts.
Love ya Big Brother. Give Mom and Dad a big hug for me.'
