Marvin Stoots Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by J.C. Kirby and Son Lovers Lane Chapel - Bowling Green on Feb. 17, 2026.
Marvin Dale "Tater" Stoots, 84, of Bowling Green passed away at his residence on Monday, February 16, 2026. He was the son of the late Marvin and Edythe "Werking" Stoots. Marvin was born in New Castle, IN on September 1, 1941.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Nancy Pasman and brother Jerry "Butch" Stoots.

Marvin was an avid fisherman, and enjoyed fishing in his brother Butch's pond most of all. He also loved to paint pictures with his daughter Letreze. Marvin's number one love was writing music, he left boxes of songs, that he had written, for his family to enjoy. Marvin was so excited about being a great grandpa. He was buying a box of diapers every week to help Bryanna stock up. Marvin never met a stranger and often gave gifts to friends and strangers. He was the best Dad anyone could ask for.

Marvin is survived by his daughter, Letreze Martin (Colin), sister Cathy Davenport, brother Larry "Chick" Stoots (Kathy), sister-in-law Susan Stoots, brother-in-law Jake Pasman, granddaughter Bryanna Stoots Pruett (Dillion) and several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Marvin at a later time. Arrangements have been entrusted to J.C. Kirby & Son Lovers Lane Chapel.
