Marvin was known for his love of fishing. He had a way of romanticizing his battles with the big one that got away. He was an avid cat lover and cared for them tenderly, especially Prissybutt. He enjoyed listening to gospel music and watching college football. His favorite thing to do was to spend time with his family and root for the Vols. He will be greatly missed.
