Marvin was born on June 15, 1936 in Bathgate, ND to William and Helen Werman, and was one of seven children. After graduating from Cavalier High School, he joined the Army. Near the end of his deployment while stationed in Virginia in 1961, he met and married a lovely young lady named Virginia Peters. Marvin and his new bride moved back to North Dakota to run the family farm in Hensel, where he raised livestock and farmed all his life. In his spare time, he drove school bus for Cavalier School District, and was known for wearing his signature cowboy hat. Children young and old adored him.

Marvin and Virginia raised four beautiful children: Susan, Deborah, Marvin Jr., and Michael. As parents, Marvin and Virginia instilled strong family values, ethics, and hard work in their children.

Marvin was a family man who loved being on his tractor, playing pool, spending time with family and friends, and drinking a cold beer. Marvin was known for his friendly disposition and his sense of humor. He will be missed dearly by family and friends.

Marvin is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Virginia; children: Susan (Perry) Svenson, Deborah (Barney) Kihne, Marvin Werman Jr, and Michael (Kellie) Werman; siblings: Donald, Carl (Helen) and Linda (William) Carpentier. He is also survived by grandchildren: Sarah and Matthew (Renee) Bockheim, Melissa (Joshua) Enerson, James, Kyle, and Brianna Svenson, Lacey, Sydney, and Trevor Werman, JJ and Thomas Kihne, and great grandchildren: Jacob and Abel Enerson, Mataya and Sena Kihne, and many nieces and nephews.

Marvin was preceded in death by his parents William and Helen, siblings Raymond, Edward, and Robert.
