He was born in Defiance, Ohio, on August 8, 1948, to the late Red and Marie Hageman. Marv was a 1966 graduate of Ayersville High School. He proudly served in the U.S.Army from 1969 to 1971 including a year in Germany. On May 2, 1970, he married Deborah (Hedrick) Hageman and they have celebrated 55 years of marriage.
Marv was a life member of both Defiance Eagles #372 and AmVets #1991. He worked at Dresser Industries, A. Van Brackel & Sons, and Defiance County Environmental Services until his retirement in 2012. After retirement he drove cars for different car dealers and also worked at NAPA. Marv and Deb traveled to the Smoky Mountains many times, calling this their "Happy Place".
