My thoughts and prayers are with Patty and Marvins family.
He was a great neighbor and the best's friend anyone could ask for, he was very kind n heart warming to every one no matter
if he knew you or not. I met Marvin in 2006 when he moved to Hays Grove Rd and my family became very close with him
and Patty. We are so blessed to have the memories we have of such a great man. I will greatly miss taking care
of him and having a great person to talk to. We will miss you dearly Marvin.
Love, Vicky, Kenny, Dan, Kendra

Dear Patty, I'm so sorry for your loss. You and
your family are in our thoughts and prayers. My mom passed away last week, and we just had the service yesterday, so
I'm still a little numb from that. I'm sorry that I can't be there tomorrow because we're going away, but I'd be glad
to bake a cake and leave it in the social hall. Please let me know if you could use a dessert :)

Although I only knew Marvin for a short period of time
he was a very caring and nice person whom I liked very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to Patti and Family and also Marvin's
best friend, Rich Moore at this very difficult time.

I'll remember Marv fondly for his open, honest, forthright
manner and his good natured sense of humor. He was also a very talented athlete. Mostly I will remember him as my outfield
team mate on the Yinger's Auto Softball Team. Marv was a natural leader and motivator, and I will always be grateful
to have known him.

Dear family,
Our sympathy to you on Marvin's passing.
We will always remember Marv as a fun-loving friend with a wonderful smile for all. He was one of Tom's closest friends
for so many years. Memories of playing softball, golfing, playing cards, will always be with us. Marv endured
many health issues with a great attitude and now it is time for him to rest in God's hands. Our prayers are with
you.
Tom and Deb Trimmer

Patty & family
We pass our deep sympathy to you
all. Our memories of Marv are very special as Steve's teammate on softball teams. We wives went to watch and enjoy the
fun and fellowship of the church team and then the Lisburn Team. Positive, sense of humor, good friend to so many!
Golf with the guys seemed to always have an interesting story when they returned also. Marv's health problems, very
serious at times and yet he went on as if there were none. He overcame a lot through his life, he was one of a kind.
We thank God to have known Marv for the years we did. We also know his memories will live on with all of you.
May you find comfort in knowing he was cared for a lot by so many. We will keep you in our prayers in the days ahead
as you grieve his loss and yet celebrate his life you shared. Blessings to you all as Marv is now in the arms of our
one and only Savior.
Steve and Joanna Stewart
