He was employed with Southern Mill for several years. Marvin enjoyed playing the guitar. He loved planting gardens and growing his own vegetables. Marvin loved spending time with his family.
Marvin was a strong man with a humble spirit as well as a man of few words, but outspoken when necessary. You never knew when something bothered him. During the time of his illness Marvin never complained about anything. He fought a good fight.
Marvin was a believer in The Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him as his Lord and Saviour. The Lord called him on to Glory October 16, 2019. He will surely be missed by his family and everyone that knew him.
