I was a classmate of Marvin at Rosedale High School in Kansas City, KS.
I played the piano, but not as accomplished as this talented person. He was an exceptional musician and was destined for greatness. He was a gentle soul. Carol McJunkin Hughes

That´s all? He was so great. I bet the end of his life was horrible. Is there a memorial or something? He made me laugh and smile over the years. Loved watching him produce music with my dad. Rip Marvin. I loved the laughs we shared. Thank you.
