He is survived by wife, Linda Lewis, mother Evelyn Patterson, sisters, Kandis Davis, Rita Parson and husband Mike Krone, brother Tom Patterson and wife Lyn, nieces Krista Peterson, and Shauna Patterson, and nephews: Tim Parsons, Sheldon Patterson and Thomas Davis. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert, and a brother Randy. Although it is difficult to sum up seven decades of a rich and well lived life in a few words. Marvin will be remembered as a kind, calm, and gregarious man who was beloved by a large and far flung group of friends and family. He was deeply spiritual, endlessly curious, and a joy to be around. Marvin served in the United States Air Force in Vietnam and became a lifelong advocate for peace, justice and government that is fair and limited. He spent 35 years as a highly skilled baker, owning and operating bakeries in three communities: Santa Paula, CA, Willits, CA and Branson, MO. His hobbies included a robust catalog of outdoor activities, from kayaking and boating, to playing as much golf as possible. He also enjoyed any activity that enabled him to spend time with his multitude of friends, whether playing games like backgammon, cards, or boules, or watching college and professional sports. Memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Monday, November 2, 2015 at the Schneider Funeral Home and Crematory, La Cygne Chapel.
