He loved to regale tales of his family's history, gather with loved ones during the family reunions, and to create laughter with his infamous jokes. He was at his best with his family whether it was while camping, fishing, or during a road trip/unexpected visit to a loved one.
Marvin will always be remembered and respected for his mechanical expertise, his all around remodeling skills, and the mighty green thumb of gardening, and most of all his willingness and ability to help others as his heart was big as his family.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 4: 4-7
