Marvin was a veteran of the United States Army where he served his country in Okinawa, Japan. He was a man that wore many hats and titles including ones throughout his years in the Masonic Brotherhood beginning in 1977. He was Past Worshipful Master of Mountain Star Lodge #197 in 1991, 32nd Degree Scottish Rite, High Priest of York Rite chapter 163, and member of Sevierville chapter 138 Eastern Star. He was an employee of Dollywood for 28 years where he enjoyed taking pictures with people who thought he was “Uncle Si Robertson.” Marvin was married for 48 years to his loving wife Darlene, who he LOVED wearing matching shirts with.

He was the caretaker of Boyd’s Creek Community Cemetery for 25 years, Deacon, Sunday School teacher, and director. He loved Hawaii and the beautiful sunsets. He was a jack-of-all-trades and would fix, tinker, or make anything he could.
