Marvin was born on January 10, 1932 in Denver, Colorado. Marv experienced the passing of his loving wife of 53 years, Myrna, less than three weeks prior to his passing and true to form, he did what he had to do to see her again sooner than later. They are now back together in their eternal resting place. Marv is survived by three daughters, Kathy Jensen (Larry) of Cheyenne, Wyoming; Tammy Hardt (Ralph) of San Antonio, Texas; Tina Helart of Lake Havasu City, Arizona; one son, Craig Helart (Stephanie) of Bluffton, South Carolina; five grandchildren, Ben Godfrey (Elisabeth) of Scranton, Pennsylvania; Jacob Godfrey of Glenwood Springs, Colorado; Derick Jensen of Denver, Colorado; Kaillie Helart of Charleston, South Carolina; Kevin Helart of Laramie, Wyoming; and one great granddaughter, Zoe Godfrey, Denver, Colorado. Marv served in the United States Coast Guard during the Korean Conflict, where he also learned court reporting. As such, he served as a court reporter for many years. Marv ultimately served as Chief Clerk of the US District Court in Cheyenne, Wyoming; the Deputy Clerk of the US District Court in Reno, Nevada; and lastly as the Chief Clerk of the US District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, retiring from Federal service in 1989. He continued working as a court reporter until fully retiring in 1994. Always involved within the communities in which he lived, Marv served as Security Chairman of the Cheyenne Frontier Days committee from 1974-1976. He continued as an active member of the HEELS of Cheyenne Frontier Days for numerous years. Marv was also an active member of Rotary International for many years. He founded the Mt. Vernon Rotary Club in 1983, earning the distinction of Paul Harris Fellow. Never will you meet a man who more faithfully lived his values. He was always incredibly loving. Always firm, but fair. He taught his children the value of hard work and was always there to pick them up when they fell. His teachings were endless and will forever be missed by those that were close to him. He loved his family and was the greatest husband, father and grandfather. He was loved for infinite reasons and his family feels blessed to have been able to have him as a father. He provided unwavering physical and emotional support until the very end. Thank you, Dad, for always being there. You will be missed every single day of our lives. We are so happy that you are with Mom and we find solace knowing that you are enjoying a nice glass of scotch together. A private memorial service will be held at a date to be determined.
