Join us for a heartfelt tribute to Marlin Czajkowski, the founder of Marlin Crawler and the father of the Rock Crawling industry. Recorded live at his Celebration of Life event, this 2 hour video includes touching speeches from Marlin’s daughter and son, who share insights into his remarkable journey, passion for off-roading, and selfless generosity. Pastors, friends, family, and fellow off-roaders also take the mic to recount personal stories of how Marlin’s kindness and pioneering spirit touched their lives.

Marlin's legacy lives on in the off-road community and in all those he inspired. Thank you for celebrating his life with us!
