Marvin W. Graves, 85 years of age, of Bonita Springs, Florida passed
away on March 24, 2024.

He was born May 21st, 1938, in Salem, Indiana to
the late Bruce M. and Irene Graves.

Marvin was a graduate of Salem High School and then enlisted in the United States Airforce.

Upon returning home he attended Indiana University Southeast. Marvin was then employed at United Parcel Service for thirty years. Marvin was a person who
genuinely loved his family and lived his life to the fullest.
On October 4th, 1969, he married the love of his life, Diana (Grant)
Graves.

They were happily married for 54 years.

Marvin is survived by his wife Diana, his three children, Jessica (Todd) Desmond of
Sellersburg, Ind., Tiffany Graves (Eric Leins) of Las Vegas, Nevada and
one son Tyler Grant Graves (Sandhya) of Indianapolis, Indiana. Marvin
was the proud grandfather of four grandchildren (Nolan, Wyatt & Lily
Graves and Leland Desmond). He is preceded in death by his parents and
sister Carolyn Wedgewood of Mitchell, Indiana.

Being the ever-lucky man, he was employed as one of the first groups of
UPS employees in Indiana in 1962. Marvin spent his 30 years of
employment doing everything from washing trucks, to management. Marvin
was a dedicated and loyal United Parcel Service employee, as well as a
compassionate and humorous co- worker.

Marvin was quoted as saying, “UPS gave me the greatest life you could ever imagine.”
Marvin enjoyed 34 years of retirement, dividing his time between Indiana
and Florida. He volunteered his time, kindness, and compassion with The
Paralyzed Veterans of America, he was a lifelong supporter of St. Jude’s
Research hospital and Father Flanagan’s boy’s home.

One of his proudest accomplishments was being a benefactor to The Hearts Remembered Memorial at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana. This memorial honored
the unidentified children of Indiana’s orphanages.

He attended First Presbyterian Church in Bonita Springs, Florida. As a
proud veteran he participated in the First Presbyterian Church Veteran
Outreach Program.

As a young boy he played and dreamed of being a western gun slinger,
even making his own cowboy boots out of his mother’s high heels. His
love of all things cowboy, extended to his admiration of his lifelong
role models, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.

Marvin retired and spent his last 30 years golfing with friends, playing
Bocce, and traveling with Diana. As a founding member of the Palmira
Country Club, he enjoyed dancing at the club, and spending time with
beloved friends old and new. Lately, he treasured watching his
grandchildren’s many athletic events with pride. Marvin was an avid IU
basketball fan and regular viewer of CNBC.

With a tall build and striking white hair, Marvin was easily noticed and
loved by all. For those that knew him he was the true southern
gentleman. Marvin loved the woods on his property and was a devout
animal lover. Marvin was a highly skilled athlete in his youth and
played both basketball and volleyball for his Air Force base in
Charleston, South Carolina.
