     Marvin was a big brother, Veteran, Child of God, Loyal, hardworking, patient, playful and friend to many.  He was a devoted Husband, proud Father, fun loving Uncle and Grandfather.  Marvin was known for his quick-witted dry humor. While growing up in Colorado, his family frequently moved due to his father being a Crop Share Worker, renting various fields and farms to support the family.  This is where he developed a love for farming and country living where he established his roots on a piece of property in Dixon, California for many years.  His occupation ranged from being involved in fertilizer service operations, delivery driver, to spraying fields using a spray rig, dedicating over 40 years to the agriculture industry. Marvin was also a long-standing devoted member to the First Baptist Church in Davis, CA.  Having a close relationship with God was very important to him.  Lastly, no one was ever a stranger.  He always went out of his way to make people feel welcome and right at home.  He will truly be missed by all that he's crossed paths with.
