He will be remembered for his easy, kind, and patient manner by all who knew him.
Marvin was born in the Town of Rhine, Sheboygan County on January 22, 1923, and lived in Plymouth area his entire life. He was son of the late Milton and Helen (Nix) Feldmann.
He graduated from Elkhart Lake High School in 1941 and attended Vocational School in Sheboygan for two years.

Marvin was very interested in his family, his work, plus many other activities he pursued throughout his very active life. He especially enjoyed developing new products, some of which were manufactured in Feldmann Engineering and Manufacturing Company, which he founded in 1941. A few products were sold directly to other manufacturers. Namely, the automatic twine tying hay baler attachment to J.I.

The Jiffy Power Ice Drill for the ice fishing persons is a principle product of his company since 1952 to the present time. Marvin will be remembered for his innovative mind and ability to develop products.
After retirement from the company he pursued raising exotic animals, such as American Bison, Watusi and Brahman cattle, camels, llamas, ostrich, donkeys, water buffalo, and smaller fowl.
He was a member of Crystal Lake Sportsman Club, Sheboygan Falls Sportsman Club, National Bison Association, Wisconsin Bison Association, and the Kettle Moraine Snowmobile Club.
