I got to be friends with Marvin during my years at WKZQ radio. He'd stop by the station and I'd stop by his place on the boulevard and we'd shoot the breeze for hours. I especially loved our conversations about Texas and Bat Cave, NC. If you had a post office box in Myrtle Beach at the main post office, then the ultimate treat was running into Marvin. He always had a great story and a joke and a smile. It's been a while since I last saw Marvin, but based on my conversations with him, I pretty sure that I'll see him again. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Love and prayers to the family. Marvin and I grew up on Riverview Drive and attended church together for many years as children. He was a good person and a wonderful friend. Rest in peace my friend!

There are a few people in our lives who touch us in a way that others can't. Marvin was that to me. I will miss his wisdom, his smile and his laughter but I'll always remember the lessons he taught me. Rest my friend
