Marvin "Marv" Deur, age 89 of White Cloud, passed away in his sleep on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 when the angels came to take him to his home in Heaven to meet Jesus and be reunited with his wife, Janette. Marv was born on February 15, 1934 in Fremont to Rhin and Gennie (Jordan) Deur and graduated from Fremont High School. Marv married Janette Webster Dunham on February 15, 1980 and Janette preceded him in death on August 12, 2018. Marv has been a lifelong resident of the Newaygo County area and was a longtime and strong community supporter of the White Cloud Community where he had served on the White Cloud School Board and served as President and was a long time member of the White Cloud Rotary.
One of Marv's love was to work and many that knew him would agree. In 1975, Marv opened "The Shack" in Jugville and for the next 48 years, grew the business into a wonderful retreat for many. Marv was always ready with the scoop of ice cream for the world renowned banana splits served at The Shack nightly. Marv truly enjoyed the time he spent with meeting new friends and fellowship with old friends throughout the years at The Shack on Robinson Lake. Marv also built Deur's Tire Barn in 1961 which evolved into Deur's Venture and currently D & B Brine. Marv truly loved the Lord and later in life would often say to others, "I am only a sinner, saved by grace," and Marv is enjoying God's splendor and perfect light in heaven today.
Marv is survived by his son, Butch (Sherri) Deur; his grandchildren, Prudence (Chad) Kukal; JD (Susan) Deur; his great grandchildren, Casidy, Brandon, Cody, Elizabeth, and Lauren; his great great grandson, Wyatt. He was preceded in death by his wife, Janette.
