Marllon was born on September 21, 1957, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to Marllon Lee “ML” Cook, Sr. and Bonnie Lou (Pryor) Cook. Much of Marllon’s happiest childhood memories involved playing, swimming, teasing, fishing, and other various activities with his 5 siblings.
Marllon graduated from Owasso High School Class of 1975. At this high school is where Marllon met his friend, Mike Day who had a sister named Debbie. Marllon married Debra L.

During this long loving marriage of 44 years, Marllon and Debbie had two kids, Melinda Marie Cook and Marllon Daniel Cook, and 3 grandkids, Marllon Joshua Cook, Samuel Lee Cook, and Ivy Katherine Cook.
Concrete was one of Marllon’s passions even at an early age with his family’s concrete construction company. Marllon co-owned a very successful concrete construction company with his brother Bill Cook. They built a variety of concrete types from highly detailed colored and stamped decorative concretes to large post-tensioned floor slabs.
