Christopher Marvin Obituary
He was born Feb. 19, 1953 to Willard and Louise (Lawrence) Marvin. He was a proud lifelong resident of Manchester.
As a boy he was in Boy Scout Troop 27 where he made many lifelong friends. He also spent many hours working at the family store - Sherwin-Williams.
In 1971 he joined the 8th Utilities District Fire Department where he remained for the rest of his life, rising to the rank of Deputy Chief. During his time at the 8th District, he impacted many lives of both citizens and fellow members of the Department. He helped guide and mentor many people to pursue careers in public safety, his two sons included. He also was one of the early EMT's in the state and volunteered for ASM (Ambulance Service of Manchester) in its early years.
He was a fireman at Pratt and Whitney and held fire/security positions at Otis, U.S. Surgical, and Hamilton Standard. He retired from the town of East Hartford as a dispatch supervisor.
Along the way he made time to be a Boy Scout Leader for Troops 27 and 8, a member of CERT(Community Emergency Response Team), a volunteer at the Boston Marathon, Ham Radio Operator, and a member of the Manchester Elks Lodge.
Most recently Chris was elected to the 8th District Board of Directors, following in his father's footsteps. He jumped headfirst into the job and left many tasks close to his heart unfinished.
He leaves behind his wife Dianne (Neumar) Marvin. His brothers John Marvin, his son Jeffrey Marvin (Meghann), and Thomas Marvin (Laurie Cleveland), as well as his sister-in-law Deborah Marvin. His children Jessica (Zachary), John (Jill), and Jared. His former wife Frances (Yetishefsky) Marvin. He also leaves his grandchildren Olivia Cruz, Nick Roethel, Julia, Samantha and Rachel Marvin. He was predeceased by his parents, Willard and Louise Marvin, as well as his two nephews John and James Marvin. Chris also leaves behind many close friends including "the Wrecking Crew."

My condolences to Diane and C hris' family. I recently heard of Chris' passing. I have a number of fond memories in scouting with Chris. On one of my first troop 27 adventures Chris adopted me as my "BUDDY". And he was always there for this older scouter. We spent many great meals and campfires together. You are missed my friend.
