Marvin attended Morgan County Training School in Hartselle, AL. After graduation he went on to Nashville Christian Institute to fulfill his calling of being a pastor, where he graduated in 1968.
Marvin retired from BASF formerly Englehard where he worked for 40 plus years and he had been a pastor for just as long. He was the pastor of Pennylane Church of Christ in Hartselle, AL and was an active member until his death.
Marvin was a exceptionally good person, he always wore a smile and was willing to help anyone. The love he had for his late wife Mary of 50 plus years, and his family was a perfect example of what love is. Marvin was what you would call a thoroughbred.
