Marvin Carl Miller
March 27, 1935 — April 2, 2013
He graduated from Wayland High School in 1953. Marvin worked for many years as a crane operator with Pickett & Schuer. He also worked in the family business of Miller Sand and Gravel in Hopkins for many years. Marvin retired after working 23 years as a truck driver with Stamm Equipment of Wayland. He was married to Kristine Sonner and together they had five children. That marriage ended in divorce and in 1983 he married Terry Lynn Sniezek.
Marvin loved life and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a hard worker and tried to be a friend to everyone. He could repair almost anything, or at least give it a try. He enjoyed traveling, reading westerns, visiting the casinos, and playing cards. He loved traveling to see his children and grandchildren all over the country. He was very proud of all of them. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father; sister and brother-in-law, Martha and Joseph Troyanowski; sister-in-law, Linda Miller; brother-in-law, Glenn Carlson and sister, Louise Marks.
Marvin is survived by his loving wife, Terry; daughters, Judy (Bob) Boorsma and Julie (Jack) Hamill; sons, Marvin (Cindy) Miller, Mike (Sonja) Miller and Timothy (Jan) Miller; stepson, Trevor (Stacey) Sniezek; 17 grandchildren, and three great grandchildren; brothers, Henry Miller and Tom (Sandy) Miller; sisters, Mary Carlson, Marge (Don) Solomon, and Jean (Dale) Talsma; many nieces and nephews; and brother-in-law, Lucien Marks.
