In another Instagram post, Marlon reflected on spending his birthday alone.“Happy birthday me... i would ask God ‘why me’? Why am i suffering?” he began his lengthy essay. ”I don’t question you through this journey. On the other side of all this tragedy is victory. So i trust you. This is merely a journey to challenge me. You’re not breaking me, you’re making me.”The comedian continued: “I’m not a victim I’m a hero being challenged to find my greatness. I’m being challenged to find my smile in the worst of times because if i can smile through this then that means my smile is permanent.”Marlon is the youngest of 10 siblings.
