Uncle Marvin,
You were an amazing uncle to my son, father to my nephew, husband to my dear friend, and friend to Mikey and me. I thanked you almost every time I saw you for being such a good example for our boys and teaching them how to be a man to be proud of. I will miss our laughs and you giving me a hard time, knowing that you loved me and had my back. Thank you for loving us and treating us like any day could be your last. You are so loved.
I have known Marvin since the 3rd grade. I remember when we met. Man, Bro I been trying to reconnect with you, and I get the news of your passing. It hurts to know that I will see you again or that crazy laugh. Bro but rest easy. To the family the Malone Family send our condolences and prayers to you all.

my deepest condolences for the Drake family…I’m at a loss for words…so many great memories… R.I.P. Marvin
I love you Big Brother!! I know you will be with me in spirit!!
I went to church with Marvin at My. Olive when we were teenagers. So sad to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to the family.
I worked with Marvin and he always had a smile on his face! He was always happy and laughing! It is sad to hear about his passing!
My thoughts and prayers are with you Dana and children!
My heart breaks to just find out today. Man, I truly am sorry to have lost you. You and my son grew up like brothers, sharing the same Birthday. He was crushed as he told me you were gone.
I truly love you and will miss you. Just saw you a couple of weeks ago, and promised to stay in touch. I will never forget you and your family will be in my prayers.
Marvin and I became friends 2 years ago when he moved to the area,Our relationship rapidly grew to being brothers. I have never met a person that reminded me so much of myself.HE was at a point where he was proud of his accomplishments and very happy with his family life. Drake was a gentle giant, But make no mistake, His was a sleeping giant as well! A giant that one would not want to disturb his sleep!
Our friendship consisted of rude comments (jokes) back and forth all day! We would sit for hours playing the dozen, almost crying laughing. I admired the way he treated his son and his wife. My family quickly fell in love with Drake and his family.
He is greatly missed!!
RIP Big brother !! What I wouldn’t give to listen to you say the most disrespectful and hilarious things to me just 1 more time.
I am deeply saddened to hear of Marvin passing. I lost contact with him in the 90s. We have known each other since pre-K. I really don’t know what else to say. God bless his soul.
Man seeing this hurts. You were a big brother to me man. Had not talked to you in years. Wish I would have looked you up sooner. Ty for all you did for me. RIP
