Marvin Hess Obituary
Born in Massillon, OH, on May 18th, 1941, he spent his formative years in Jackson Twp. Marvin married Bonita (DeWalt) Hess on September 25th, 1962, and they had three children together: Chuck Hess, Dan Hess, and Beth Hess.
Marvin's profession as a pipe-liner took him on extensive travels across the U.S., and he was also a skilled outdoorsman. During his younger years, he enjoyed 'coon hunting, and more recently, he took great pleasure in caring for his horses and chickens.
Marvin is survived by four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
In accordance with the family's wishes, no services will be held.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Marvin's passing. I will always remember his silly side, and his requests for me to come over and trim his beard
