Marvin Grimsley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Peavy Funeral Home from Jan. 7 to Jan. 8, 2026.
Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Marvin lived fully and loved deeply. He didn't need much to be happy-just family, good food, and a good moment. He was a man who loved fishing not just for the catch, but for the quiet, the patience, and the stories that came with it.


He truly enjoyed being surrounded by his grandkids and great-grandkids, especially when there was BBQ on the grill, a cold beer in hand, and laughter in the air. Easygoing and steady, he was content with life's simple pleasures-fishing poles, grill smoke, cold drinks, and spooky movies.


Known by many names-Dad, Gramps, Grandpa, Pops, and Gator Man-he leaves behind a legacy of love, patience, and togetherness. He will be deeply missed, but his influence, values, and memories will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to know and love him.
