Little Marvin the family called him, because his dad was big Marvin. He was my cousin. I remember he had lots of energy! He always had a big smile just like his dad. I am so sorry. He died too young! Thinking of the family and sending prayers!
Patricia and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please know that he will always be you angel. Prayers are with you all.
Oh I am so sorry to hear about Marvin, we graduated from Robbinsville together. Our class will always remember Marvin as a good friend, football player and classmate.
Pat and family. I am so sorry to hear of Marvin’s passing. It has been quite sometime since I saw or spoke to Marvin. We meet at AB Tech many years ago and we had some good times. I will always remember him, he was a very good friend and good family man.
Pat or Darlene is who I know. I am so sorry. I sure understand how you feel because I lost my husband 10 years ago. Trust God and He will help you in the sad days ahead. We can meet them again! That is a great promise.

My name is Eddie Howell. I played football with Marvin, and graduated with him from Robbinsville High School in 1973. He kept us all laughing with his antics, on and off the field. I am sorry to hear of his passing, and will always remember him as a good guy, and good friend!
I knew Marvin’s parents and grandparents really well. I knew Marvin as a little boy. He was a good friend during childhood. So sorry for your loss.
