With his wife and children by his side, Marvin Alfred Schutte went to be with the Lord on January 9, 2014, after a short illness.

He left the family farm and moved to Lincoln, NE where he attended Business College and studied computers. He was drafted into the Army in 1965 and was stationed in Vietnam for one year during his tour of duty.
Marvin spent his working career in the banking industry. In March 2012, he retired from Dickinson Financial Corp in Kansas City, Mo where he ran the computer operations for 150 banks across the US and moved to Canon City, Co where he resided at the time of his death.
In 1970 Marvin married Virginia Dewaele. They had 3 sons, Rodney Schutte (Debbie) of Gering, NE, Ryan Schutte and Russell Schutte(Roka) both of Denver, Co.

Marvin was a gentle, kind and giving person. He never failed to help someone in need and many times would do it anonymously. He loved working in the yard, working with his hands and following the stock market. He loved art and music and loved going to concerts and museums. But most of all he loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. In the last year of his life, he was able to live close to his grandson, Cash Wagner, and loved seeing him grow. It brought great joy and comfort to his life.
Marvin has several charities that were special to him. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family and will be disbursed to his favorite charities.
