It is impossible to capture who a person was in a few short sentences, especially someone whose adult life was largely defined by drug addiction, but those closest to Marvin knew who he was outside of the chaos that surrounded his life in the end. He was loving, caring, funny, kind, and always tried to find the positive in any situation.
