Marvin Douglas Kilpatrick

Marvin Douglas Kilpatrick Doug passed away at home with his family by his side after battling COPD. He is preceded by his parents Marvin (Togy) Marine and Mary (Teny) Louise Kilpatrick. He loved to drive a semi-truck, cotton, long distance, log, grain, it didn’t matter as long as he was in the driver’s seat with the “hammer down”.

As a devoted husband, father and granddaddy, he is survived by his wife of 37 years Debra McCoy Kilpatrick, five children Sherry Ensor (John), of Ocala, FL; Crystal Wood (Kevin) of Cove City, NC; Marvin D. Kilpatrick Jr. of Ft Barnwell, NC; Crystal Johnson (Tommy), of Ft Barnwell, NC; Melissa Davis (David), of Ft Barnwell, NC; grandchildren, Morgan Whaley, of Cove City, NC; Jacob and Hunter Wood, of Cove City, NC; Joe Ensor, of Tallahassee, FL, April Thomas (Blake), of N. Little Rock, AR, and Amber Parker of Four Oaks, NC; five great-grandchildren, Whitney, Bailey, Hannah, Tyler and Owen and his loving niece Kim Kilpatrick. His loving and loyal brother Kenneth Kilpatrick and two sisters, Patsy York and Mary Beth Gray, will miss him terribly.

The family expresses their deepest gratitude for the wonderful care he received from Craven County Hospital and Craven County Hospice Care - thanks to his “special ladies” Sabrina and Ashley.
