Mindy, Ben, my little Rae and Easton, Britany and the family,
As Ben is my son I only met Marvin a few times at the derbys when we lived in Kansas, Ben has always spoken very highly of Marvin. He was like his 2nd dad, Ben had ALOT of respect for him. Marvin always had the time to help others, but most importantly made time for his family, what a family man! He loved his kids, grand kids, and wife nothing was more important. Always smiling on FB with his family.
Lord please keep this family strong and the bond unbreakable as they truely need one another right now, may their hearts heals and love forever. May they have their guardian angel with them at all times to guide them and keep them safe. In Jesus name AMEN!
Thought and prayers are with you all.
