Nancy and family.
Theresa and I are so sorry to hear about Marvin's death. Marvin was such a wonderful person and had such a great sense of humor. He was always the same no matter where you saw him. I used to tease him about ruining my christmas when taxes were due once a year in December. He always had a come back for me. Such a nice man...will truly be missed by anyone who knew him. God bless you and your family.

Nancy & families, - Billy and I were so sorry to hear of Marvin's death. It was a pleasure to have met him when I was working at Peoples' Bank of Nelson(so long ago). I never mind going in to see him once a year to pay our taxes. I purposely went into the Treasurer's office so I could say hello to everyone. Marvin always was so friendly and always had a smile. I was fortunate to talk with him recently in Food Lion Parking lot. May God bless each of you during this time.

I am so sorry to hear about "J-Maaavin"....as Gary would so fondly call him years ago, and I'm sure still does. I have so many good memories of all the years spent with your family. I always felt as though I was part of it, because that's the way I was made to feel.
Please know that I'm thinking of you all. I'm sure he will be greatly missed. Shipman will never be the same!

Dear Nancy & Family,
Marvin was a true friend he would always be willing to pitch in and help with anything that needed to be done.
We both worked with him at the courthouse, and I (Jean) went to school with him. May God You

What a sad time for Nelson County. Mr. Davis was a very special person in that when he said "How are you?", he really wanted to know! He sincerely cared enough to ask.

I only met Marvin a few years back when he and Jim attended a Davis family reunion in Bedford. We were cousins. I'm so sad to see that he has passed, and wanted his family to know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
