Read MoreI just learned of Marvin's passing. I had not seen him in several years but remember him very fondly. We worked together as adversaries when he was with DOT. He was a good man whom I admired very much. I will keep the Waters family in my prayers.

To Marvin's family, I am sorry for your loss. I first met Marvin as a lawyer at DOT, and will never forget him, his smile and his friendly manner. I know he loved his family, being a lawyer and his church. He has the love of God in his heart. Bryan Brice (Raleigh)

Marvin was a grand person and I am terribly sorry to hear of his long illness and death. I recall how he he was always smiling when he came into class in law school. He and I kept trying to find a common ancestor because we shared some family names...Marvin, a grandmother named Amy Waters, and a great aunt named Elsie Waters! Family and friends will miss him much.

I attended law school with Marvin and later practiced in Durham with him at the courthouse and me in my law firm. He was always a kind and honorable person. He always said hello. Amy and my step daugher Lauren were friends in high school. I always saw Marvin at the School during shows and games. I am so sorry for this loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Waters, may the God of all comfort be with you in the coming days and give you the inner peace that only He can provide. Mr. Waters was a man who was easy to befriend. Pamela and I both enjoyed very much visiting with the two of you in your home. We hope to meet you again the next time that we travel ot North Carolina. Until then may God bless and comfort you,

My condolences to the Waters Family and the NC Department of Crime Control and Public Safety; I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Waters in December 2009, while visiting my daughter, Terri Butler, at her workplace in Raleigh. In those treasured moments, I found Mr. Waters to be very spiritual and he made a divine impact on my life. He will be sadly missed, but we know that God has embraced him for an even higher calling. We have a new angel to watch over us now! God is our Comforter; The...

Our thoughts & prayers go out to Peggy and the family. We were members of his congregation @ St. Nary's FWB Church in New Bern many years ago. Marvin was a great pastor.
