School Class of 1952 where he was voted "Most Friendliest". After graduation he

his trumpet while the Hi-Steppers practiced, and voted by the student body as Mr.
Hinds Junior College. In 1954, he joined the U. S. Marine Corps as a member of the

morning. Marvin continued his studies at Asbury College and University of
Southern Mississippi.

Marvin was well loved and easy to love by all his friends and family. He had no
enemies, because he was able to find the good in everyone. He was strong in his
faith and modeled his life after the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you". His family rest well knowing that he is now walking with his
maker, singing in heavens choir, and blowing his trumpet!

Family will hold a private celebration of life service.
