Marvin R. Voigt

Marvin Rudolf Voigt was born to Daniel and Irma Voigt on December 15, 1928 in Comal County and passed away on February 9, 2013. Marvin is survived by Clarence Voigt and wife Kimberly, and Marlene Carmean and husband Paul. Two grandchildren, David and Isabella Carmean and two step grandchildren, Nick and Eddie Fiedler, a sister, Adeline Hartmann and husband Hilmar. Preceding Marvin in death are his parents Daniel and Irma Voigt and Elroy and Melva Klabunde.

Marvin was a lifetime member of St Paul Evangelical Church. He was drafted into the army in January 1951 and was sent to Japan and then South Korea where he fought on the front lines. He came home safely in December 1952.

Marvin did a lifetime of farming row crops, raising cattle, sheep, and chickens, and was a beekeeper while he also worked at Schertz Bank and Trust for 41 years. If there were any time left, Marvin would enjoy fishing in a nearby pond or creek with the family, and in the winter months, he enjoyed deer hunting.

Marvin also enjoyed dancing the two-step, the waltz, and the polka throughout his lifetime. He really enjoyed meeting up with his army buddies every few years. Everyone that knows Marvin well can recall how much he enjoys talking about his army days, the reunions, deer and coyote hunting and many other topics. His stories will be truly missed.

Visitation will be at Zoeller Funeral Home in New Braunfels on Friday from 12-9 pm, with family present from 4-8pm. The funeral will be held Saturday, February 16, 2013 at St. Paul Evangelical Church in Cibolo at 10am, with burial to follow in the St Paul Evangelical Cemetery.
