To me Marvin was always a stoic symbol of gentle devotion and steadfast loyalty. Even as a small child - Marvin’s love for his family was glaringly obvious. He didn’t make a big thing about it - it just was as sure as the sun would rise th he next day.

When I think of Donna and Marvin - my mind immediately pictures Donna - she was always so vibrant and colourful - how could it not? In the next breath though - my minds eye sees Marvin. Quiet and lovely and more often than not chuckling softly at something off color that my Dad said. (Most likely). He chuckled perfectly - just enough to show his fantastic sense of humour but not enough to actually show outward approval of the ghastly inappropriate thing that came out of his mouth. Haha

Marvin - even to the last visit I had with him - was always a place of safety and comfort for me. I loved him and knew I was loved by him. And even in his absence that brings me comfort.

I was blessed to have been able to participate in the annual tradition of getting together with the cousins for stampede breakfasts at the Danish Canadian Club. It was the only Stampede related thing I looked forward to. My son had the fortune of being able to also hang out with the cousins for their regular lunch dates at South Center Mall. He sure loved spending the time with all of them - but like me, Marvin held a space that was just a little more dear to our hearts. ❤️

Wendell, Nancy, Travis and Tiffany - my condolences for the loss. All our love, Jodi and Kingston

I am comforted knowing that Donna and Marvin are back together as it never seemed right that they were separated
