Marroquin even shared his secret to living such a long life.

"Just take things as they come, don't worry about it, just relax you know, no stress," Marroquin said. "It's very exciting, just take it easy, go fishing every day."

Marroquin has four children, 12 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.
