Aaron T. Marvin

November 8, 2026

Aaron Thomas Marvin, 67, of Shickshinny, PA, passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at home surrounded by his loving family after a brief battle with glioblastoma.

Aaron was born January 27, 1959, in Nanticoke, PA, the oldest son of the late Thomas and Lois Kulp Marvin. He was a graduate of Northwest Area High School, Class of 1977. After high school, he worked for several local employers such as the American Car and Foundry Company (ACF) and Lippert Components, Inc. before being employed in 1985 by Earl L. Lokey Inc., Elizabethtown, PA, hauling milk to the Hershey Chocolate Company. He began working for Wenger Feed Mill (now The Wenger Group), Lancaster, PA, in August 1991 and recently celebrated his 35th year of driving feed truck for the company. He was the caretaker of the Marvin Cemetery and President of the Marvin Cemetery Association. Aaron was a faithful believer of Jesus from childhood and a longtime member of Roaring Brook Baptist Church.

Being part of the 6th generation of Marvins to live and farm in Muhlenburg, PA, farming was a lifelong passion for Aaron after growing up on his family’s dairy farm. He spent lots of time over the years helping out farmer friends, gardening, and actively partnering with his children on their own farming and gardening ventures. As a teenager he enjoyed being active by doing gymnastics, running, and roller skating. As he got older, he continued to be active by going to the gym or playing softball with the local church softball league. Other activities included welding, hunting (also known as napping under trees), photography, and enjoying nature. As a truck driver, he also regularly competed in truck driving competitions and even went to the National Truck Driving Competition in Ohio in 2003. He treasured many of the friendships and connections he made with other truck drivers over the years. Aaron had a compassionate and generous servant’s heart that led him to spend time in Haiti as a short-term missionary in the early 1980’s and again with his wife Brenda in 1988. He also enjoyed working with kids in the community; he loved being a Coach and Coach Instructor for Northwest AYSO for 17 years, helped out in the church nursery, and volunteered as a counselor during youth group winter camps. A lifelong learner, he liked reading and learning new things. He especially enjoyed being a Sunday School teacher, discussing the Bible with others, and forming deep relationships with his Sunday School class. He found great joy in taking care of and spending time with his family. He especially loved being PawPaw to his precious grandchildren.

Surviving are his wife of 41 years, Brenda (Martin) Marvin; their children, Joshua Marvin and his wife Amanda of Shickshinny, PA; Faith Potoeski and her husband Mike of Marbury, MD; Jeremiah Marvin of Shickshinny, PA and his fiancée Maria; Charity Marvin, Shickshinny, PA; Hannah Marvin, Shickshinny, PA; and 6 grandchildren. Also surviving are his siblings, Eugene Marvin and his wife Diane of Shickshinny, PA; Paul Marvin and his wife Vicki of Milton, PA; Karen Galinis and her husband Denny of Hastings, PA; Alan Marvin and his wife Peg of Shickshinny, PA; and numerous nieces and nephews.
