Marcus Darell Wayland was born July 25, 1936 in Remmel, Arkansas to Joe Cleaburn Wayland and Ola Francis Koettle. He grew up on his family's farms and graduated 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 Louisiana (Darell and Brian), Longview Texas (Alan), and Grapevine Texas (Scott).
Marcus learned the bricklaying trade with his father-in-law and brother-in-laws. 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.
