Marvin Lee Lynch

On September 11, 2023, Marvin Lee Lynch passed away after 85 wonderful years on Earth. Born August 10^th, 1938, in Milliken, CO to Albert and Zenith Lynch, Marvin was the youngest of 9 children. Marvin was raised to be a hard worker with a kind and gentle demeanor.

On June 11^th, 1958, Marvin married Nancy Chesnut, the love of his life.

While living in Milliken, CO they welcomed a son, Perry, who died shortly after birth, followed by another son, Thomas, and a daughter, Kimberly.

In 1966, Marvin wanted to be a cowboy and followed that dream to Wyoming where he worked on the Silver Spur Ranch. Many great memories were made while raising Tom and Kim on the ranch. In 1979, Marvin and Nancy moved to Encampment and Marvin took a job at Arch Mineral Mine driving a bulldozer. The same year he started working at Shively Hardware as an ag mechanic where he worked until his retirement in 2006. After retiring, Marvin was able to keep busy with many woodworking projects and family four-wheeling adventures. In recent years, Parkinson’s Disease slowed Marvin down considerably.

Marvin’s proudest accomplishments in life were his children and grandchildren. He also had a love for animals and had many beloved dogs.
