Mervin it hit me hard with the news of your passing. You have been a true friend and a older Brother to me. You will be truly missed, RIP until we reunite again.

I was shocked and sadden to hear that Marvin has transitioned. This hit me hard. A true friend who turned out to be as close as a brother. You, Larry and Bucky HRIishared some moments we will never forget. Thank you for being you all the time. Miss you and your memories will always be in my heart.

So sorry to hear of the loss of my childhood neighbor, friend/brother, Marvin. Our families have lots of memories from our Payson St. days. The Pretlows, Sewells, and friends can laugh for hours reminiscing about the antics of Marvin and my brothers Bucky and Larry. (I tell you, they are FUNNY!) I especially loved the close bond Marvin and Larry shared...Bestfriends For Life! Marvin was a talented artist! I remember how he use to paint the most beautiful birthday cards for his loved ones. He was a loyal friend. He'll truly be missed by the Sewell family!
