Tandy Scott Marlin, age 53 of the Harpeth Community, Tennessee, passed away December 28, 2023. Tandy was a native of Williamson County where he was raised on his family’s generational farm. He was a 1989 graduate of Page High School. Tandy had a love for racing which began at an early age with his brother and cousins involved in Duck River Speedway and Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. He was a two time champion in the years of 1998 and 2001 with the Nashville Speedway Super Trucks Series. He was unstoppable by winning six races consecutively. He was a 2001 Nascar Heartland Region Champion. He advanced into the ARCA Series where he raced on tracks in Atlanta, Charlotte and other major speedways. He stopped his racing career in 2005 to dedicate time with his wife and girls in their sport activities. After the girls had completed their high school activities, he traded softball gloves for racing tires in 2020 because of his love for racing. Along with racing, Tandy had many talents with his profession. He was the owner and operator of M & M Lawncare that had a wide range of offerings for landscaping and construction services. Tandy had a servant’s heart and was always willing to help his family, friends and anyone in need. He was a member of Cowles Chapel United Methodist Church.
