abulia and AngelofBradley1 you are both close. He wrote it about his dad who died of cancer. He stated it on his FanPage:
Q: Is there a story behind "Marigolds" on Mr. Lemons? I always loved that track, but when my Mom lost her battle with breast cancer, I was completely speechless (or inconsolable) once I heard it again.
A: I wrote it when my father passed away from cancer. I was alone in the room with him when he went away. So...it's pretty on the nose for your experience.
Hope you and your family are doing well.
