A kind, gentle, and caring pilar of his family, Marvin's influence on those he loved most will be felt for years to come. He found great fulfillment in serving his community and helping others in numerous ways, but he held the honor of serving in the United States Marine Corps and in the Army Reserves deeply. His dedication to the community was also evident with his twenty-six years as an officer in the Chicago Police Department.
His love and commitment was felt every day at home with his family. He adored his wife, Sharon, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Ever the adventurer, he loved hunting, fishing, and horseback riding; and if he was spending free time at home, Westerns, war movies, and police television shows were his favorite things to watch. Marvin understood the importance of truly enjoying life through his pastimes and connecting with others, and he will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched.
Born on October 17, 1941, in Chicago to the late Henry and the late Anastasia Streske, Marvin was the beloved husband of the late Sharon Streske (nee Karsner). Cherished father of Anastasia “Stacie” Rodriguez (Ricardo “Ricky”), Denise Kinnavy, Robert Streske (Cindy), Donald Streske, and Deborah Smith; dear grandfather of Ricky and Gabriel Rodriguez, Darien, Abbie, and Miranda Kinnavy, Alex and Andrew Streske, Adrienne Deming, and Eric and Reed Streske; and adored great-grandfather of twelve.
