Marvin will always be remembered as an avid hunter. He traveled all over for his next big hunt. He was very proud of each mounted animal in his man cave. He often told stories of the thrill of the hunt. Hunting was not just a hobby but a passion. As much as he enjoyed the hunt, he also enjoyed the memories made with his hunting buddies. The list is long but each held a special place in his heart. He also loved helping people. He became a Shriner in 1982. With his time in the Shriners, Marvin became known as “Marvelous Marv’ due to his parade costume. He dressed as a wrestler in a leotard. People started taking notice of his enthusiasm to help raise money for the children and appointed him as Grand Marshall of the Buzzards. He marched in the Mardi Gras parade for many years. Marvin loved people. He was preceded in death by his parents, Menno and Evelyn Schmidt; and sister, Shirley Wilson. Marvin is survived by his wife, Glenda of the home; sons, Smitty Schmidt of Missouri and Ian Schmidt of Oklahoma City; daughter, Nicole Schmidt of France; grandchildren, Jacob Schmidt of Oklahoma City, Katherine Fauveau, Innes Fauveau and Esmee Fauveau all of France; stepdaughter, Corie Nichols of Muskogee; brothers, Roy Schmidt of Idaho, David Schmidt and wife Deleta of Muskogee, Marshall Schmidt and wife Gloria of Camarillo, CA; along with other beloved family members and numerous friends.
