There may be more to this story than we know. GHWB picked his pallbearers before his death. Most were from CVN 77 named for him. Is it possible that he added the son of a former Marine friend as a stand in for his father? As you said, that's a prominent position on the pallbearer team.

Poking around, Looks like the two Marines were standard ANC funeral detail.
Cpl. Kevin Harris and Sgt Tyler Robinson
No excuses, but the casket can run 300-600 lbs. That Marine may be gym junkie?

Pallbearers and honorary pallbearers
As customary, pallbearers during each movement of the casket containing Bush's remains were drawn from personnel of the United States Army, United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Marine Corps, and United States Coast Guard.[96] In addition, honorary pallbearers were selected for most movements of the casket.
Stage 1 honorary pallbearers
Special agents of Bush's former United States Secret Service protective detail served as honorary pallbearers during the movement of the casket from the funeral home in Houston to the hearse that would transport it to Ellington Field.[97]
Stage 2 honorary pallbearers
Sailors drawn from the crew of the United States aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush served as honorary pallbearers for the removal of the casket from Special Air Mission 41 at Joint Base Andrews.[97] A further thirteen honorary pallbearers were selected for the transport of the casket from the hearse to the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, all of whom were former ship or strike group commanders of USS George H.W. Bush, including: Admiral John Aquilino, Vice Admiral DeWolfe Miller, Vice Admiral Frank Pandolfe, Vice Admiral Nora Tyson, Rear Admiral Kenneth Whitesell, Rear Admiral David Thomas Jr., Rear Admiral Andrew Loiselle, Rear Admiral Stephen Evans, Rear Admiral William Pennington, Rear Admiral Brian Luther, Rear Admiral Gregory Nosal, Captain Sean Bailey, and Captain Kevin O’Flaherty.[124][104][125] Captain Sean R. Bailey, the ship's commanding officer at the time of Bush's death, was unable to serve as an honorary pallbearer as the vessel was making final preparations for deployment.[104]
Stage 3 honorary pallbearers
Honorary pallbearers serving during the movement of the casket at points during Stage 3 included Charles F. Hermann (Scowcroft Chair in International Policy Studies at the Bush School of Government and Public Service), Amy Sharp (president of the Texas A&M University Student Government Association), and former Texas A&M football coach R.C. Slocum.[103][126][127]

In spite of his appearance he obviously had some very positive traits that put him in that position.

I like that perspective cbtengr. Regardless as one gets older take the opportunity to make and put plans for things you think are important in place...or someone else will.*
