Marvin Gove Obituary
January 14, 1941 - November 18, 2025
Marvin Earl Gove, 84, of North Platte, passed away on Nov. 18, 2025, at Great Plains Health.
He was born on Jan. 14, 1941, to Earl and Winnie (Main) Gove in Cambridge.
Marvin graduated from North Platte High School with the class of 1959. He married Katherine Ann Pinkerton on Nov. 19, 1961, in Tryon. The couple lived in Omaha before moving back to the Pinkerton Ranch near Tryon until 1967. They moved to North Platte, where Marvin worked for Callihan Kaschke Company until he retired in 2006.
Marvin was a member of Parkview Nazarene Church. He helped with the church bus ministry, inner church reserve, and was very helpful around the church with physical work. He always made coffee for Sunday School. He enjoyed attending as many activities as he could for his grandchildren and he loved to work on cars and small engines. Marvin will be remembered as a quiet man of very few words.

Ulrich of Alabama; brother, Milton (Laura) Gove of Florida; brother and sister-in-law, Jim (Janea) Pinkerton Jr. of North Platte; many nieces, nephews and cousins; and many friends.

I remember Marvin singing specials in church. He was quiet, but always knew he was a man dedicated to serving the church and God. Both Marvin and Kathy were good Christian examples to me during my growing up years.
