Marvin Leroy Mills, 89, passed away September 24, 2024 in Fort Worth, TX.

Marvin was born on January 18, 1935 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma to Clara and Marlin Mills.  One of five children.

He graduated from Spring Creek School class of 1949 and Borger High School in 1953 both in the Texas panhandle. He kept in contact with many of his past classmates throughout the years.  Always looked forward to receiving those phone calls and Christmas cards.

He received a B.S. degree in Geology from the University of Texas.  During the summers while attending college he roughnecked in the oil fields in Wyoming.  He was drafted into the Army and stationed in Mainz, Germany for two years with the 367^th Ordinance Detachment.  Upon his return to the States, Marvin met Barbara Inglish and married in November of 1960.  They had one daughter, Lori and one son Roger.

Marvin was employed with Mid-America Pipeline Company (MAPCO) until his retirement.  Upon retirement he and Barbara moved to Fort Worth, TX.  His grandsons loved to get him started playing board games and sharing stories when all together at Christmas time.

He is survived by Kay Matzer (sister), Lori Mayes (daughter) and husband Robert Mayes, Roger Mills (son), four grandsons and families: Keith Mayes (and Maddy - spouse, great-grandsons Aiden and Xander), Kristopher Marvin Mayes (and Elizabeth - spouse, great-granddaughters Kalisha and Lillian), Nickolas Mayes, Mitchell Mayes (and Kasi - spouse) and several nieces and nephews.

Family always remembers family no matter the distance, time or passing… Marvin is now able to walk again and see clearly so he may enjoy watching over his family.
