  35. There is always “That One Boy” from high school that no one ever forgets. That one that everyone wanted to be and All the girls dreamed about marrying:) Marvin was that one boy who was always kind to the kids who were bullied and the girls who didn’t get attention.

Every single one of us had our own connection with Mervin. This is very heartbreaking news. We don’t get to meet men like him but once in a life time. His family was everything and I cannot imagine how your lives will go on without him. My heartfelt prayers and light will forever be sent your way in his honor. I am so very sorry for your loss.
