Marvin, you were a fine man and loved the Lord and I enjoyed being around you, made me laugh and were an interesting person and you will be missed. I will see you one day when my time comes. Love Aunt Pam
Marvin was a great friend, a loving husband and father. He will be greatly missed. I know he is in heaven for he professed Christ as Savor. His Christian character was demonstrated by his desire to love and serve others. He represents Christ like no other I have known. Bro Dave
Fond memories of this soldier of God. Praying for family
