Marvin Louis Weatherspoon

County, Texas, the eighth child of George Weatherspoon, Sr. and Cansadie Bogus

Weatherspoon. From humble beginnings in a close- knit community, Marvin grew into a

man known for his quiet strength, unwavering kindness, and deep love for family.

In 1951, Marvin married the love of his life Robbie English. That same year, he was drafted

into the United States Army, where he served honorably during the Korean War until 1953.

Upon his return, Marvin and Robbie built a life together, raising three children in a home

filled with warmth, laughter, and integrity.

Marvin dedicated over 45 years of service to Geospace Technologies, a manufacturer of

energy and defense instrumentation. As shipping manager, he was known for his reliability,

work ethic, and steady leadership. His commitment to excellence left a lasting impression

on colleagues and friends alike.

Outside of work, Marvin found joy in simple pleasures. He loved traveling- especially his

trips to California, and cherished time spent playing dominos with his brother J.C., where his

legendary one-liners could spark laughter or silence the room with wit. A soft spoken man

with a heart full of generosity, Marvin had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued.

His kindness extended far beyond his family, touching neighbors, coworkers, and strangers

with quiet grace.

Marvin was a devoted husband, father, and provider. He lived a life rooted in love, humility,

and purpose. His legacy is one of compassion, resilience, and the kind of wisdom that

speaks softly, but stays forever.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 73 years, Robbie English-Weatherspoon,

his parents, George and Cansadie, his son Gary Weatherspoon, and his siblings Moses

Tubbs, Roosevelt Bradley, Willie Weatherspoon, Herman Weatherspoon, Arnold

Weatherspoon, George Weatherspoon, James C. Weatherspoon, and Claretha Brooks

Smith.

He leaves to cherish his memory: sons, Marvin (Joan) and Ronald (Valencia), his sister

Angie Lane; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
