On the morning of March 27, 2023, Marvin Merl Hunt passed away at the Lexington Regional Hospital. Upon passing, Marvin was 89 years old. He passed away peacefully from natural causes. Marvin was surrounded by his loving family at the time of his passing.

Marvin was born on January 29, 1934, in Arcadia, Nebraska to Sidney and Leota (Summers) Hunt. He graduated from Arcadia High School with the class of 1951. On December 21, 1952, Marvin married the love of his life, Joellen Burns in Reno, Nevada. Five children were blessed to this union: Teresa, Steve, David, Mark and Patrick.

Marvin proudly served in the Naval Air Force during the Korean War. He served two tours of Duty on the Yorktown and Princeton Aircraft carriers as a 3^rd class petty officer. He was incredibly proud of his time in the Naval Air Force, and it held a special place in his heart to serve his country.

Following his discharge, Marvin moved back to Arcadia where he worked on the family farm. In 1959 they moved to Lexington where he started working for the hay mills. In 1968, he became the owner of a local business called Service Supply Company where he gained a faithful clientele due to his hard work, integrity and great service. He would continue working for his company for the next 55 years.  When Marvin wasn’t working, he would enjoy spending some time outdoors, going hunting, fishing, or tinkering in his workshop.
