As the youngest of 15 siblings, Marvin cherished family gatherings, particularly at Femme Osage and the Lake of the Ozarks. He delighted in supporting his grandchildren's endeavors, attending every extracurricular activity with unwavering enthusiasm. 

Through his passing he was able to donate tissue to help others. 

Marvin was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He will “love you always”.
