Marvin Green Obituary
1930-2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marvin Green. Born and raised in Porterville, Marvin peacefully took his last breath there 95 years later. Marvin was a true outdoorsman, being an avid hunter and fisherman who previously held four fishing world records.
He was quite the athlete, playing many sports, but football was his passion. He played 4 years in high school, 2 in junior college, and 2 more years at Fort Benning, Georgia, while
serving in the Army Airborne. His commitment to both his sport and his country was a testament
to his strong character.
Marvin spent several years as a Forest Ranger and then transitioned to Pacific Bell, where he retired in 1985. Even in retirement, Marvin remained incredibly active with a passion for
cutting wood and belonging to several clubs and organizations, including being an Elks member
for over 75 years. Above all, Marvin cherished family. He was a loving and devoted husband to Helen for over 54 beautiful years, and as a father to Jeff and Michelle, he instilled values of hard work and integrity.
It was his role as papa to his 6 grandsons that was his true joy. He also held a special place in his heart for his son-in-law Gus, and as an uncle to Dane and Vickie Guelker. Our family is deeply touched and forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support from the many friends who selflessly contributed to making Marv's final years so incredibly special and
filled with wonderful memories.
There will be a viewing at Myers Chapel in Porterville, California, on Thursday,
November 13, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. A Graveside Service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Porterville, California on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The service will be officiated by Pastor Wenona Delk of Calvary Assembly of God.

I wish to give my condolences to Marvin´s family. He was a great man. I had the pleasure of assisting him a few years ago on his G6 deer hunt. He was also a great help to me with fishing equipment. He will be greatly missed!
