Deacon Marvin Eugene Shular took eternal rest, as he has made life’s final transition from earthly travailing to heavenly reward on Sunday, April 16, 2024.

Deacon Shular blessed the world with his presence on May 2, 1966. Marvin’s graciousness, compassion and extensive intellect charmed not only many people, but the heart and soul of a woman named Leah.
