Known affectionately by his road name "Hulio," Marvin was a spirited man who embraced the thrill of the open road. As a retired member of the American Cruiser Motorcycle Club (ACMC), he found boundless joy in riding his motorcycle, feeling the wind and freedom that the highways of Alabama provided. His love for the Alabama Crimson Tide was unwavering, embodying a deep-rooted pride in his state’s cherished traditions.

His family was the cornerstone of his life.

Though these beloved family members have journeyed before him, their memories live on in the hearts of those who loved them.

Surviving Marvin are his cherished sons, David Frachiseur and Paul Frachiseur, who carry forward his legacy with pride and love. He was a proud grandfather to Kent, Jessye, Nathan, Krista, Kailey, Marrissa, Dennis, and Bethany, and a joyful great-grandfather to seven beloved great-grandchildren. His siblings and extended family also remain by his side, including his sister Janice Pate and her husband Joe; niece Farrah Parsley and her husband Jonathan; and nephew Wesley Pate and his wife Lauren. Marvin’s significant other, Faye Wilson, stood as a steadfast companion and source of love in his later years.
