Click here to post a condolence or memory of Marvin A. Fowler Family on-line To the Fowler family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of "Marv", he was one of my very best friends and golf partner. We enjoyed many good times on the golf course and deer hunting. I can still remember some of the fun times we had as kids at my grand parents, just a cross the road from Marv's parents farm. I am sure that Marv is in a very beautiful place now and the suffering has ended. God bless you and your family Marv. Gene E. Johnson Posted 7/18/2007 To Marv's family, My sincere condolences to your family. Marv played on the same golf league as I did for many years. My partner, Andy Paris, and I really looked forward to playing with him. Marv loved to talk about his fishing trips and sports. And when he talked about his kids and grandkids, well, his eyes just lit up! You could tell he was so proud of them. I'm sure you miss him deeply. May God comfort you at this time and bless you.
