Marvin will truly be missed for his kind and humble demeanor, and the ability to bring a smile upon the face of those he knew and loved. He not only was my dearest cousin but a friend, and like a big brother to me. We shared so many childhood memories and spent a lot of time reminiscing on family values and the fun times we had during our old age.
If he could say another word he would tell us all that he is alright now. Family I say to you today we are only given today and never promised tomorrow. So make sure you tell each family member that you love them. May God continue to bless each one of you I love you from the bottom of my heart.
