Marvin was a hard worker, a fun guy and the life of any party. He loved good old country western classics and was always quick to share his ‘Marvin-isms’. Most importantly, he loved his family, his wife of 64 years, his daughters and granddaughters but especially the lights of his life, his great grandchildren.

A very special thank you to all of Marvin’s caretakers that have helped along the way including our dear friend Sharon Green and the amazing staff at St. Joseph’s hospital, in St. Charles, MO.

Marvin was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, pappy, brother, uncle and friend. He will be dearly missed by all who loved him.
