Marvin R. Coffee
September 4, 1938 — May 16, 2016
Our beloved Marvin R. Coffee passed away peacefully at home on May 16, 2016, surrounded by family and love. Marvin was 77 and fought his battle with cancer hard and with courage as he faced everything else.
He is preceded in death by his parents, sister and son.
Marvin's life was a story of love. He loved his family and is survived by his wife of 35 years, Neva; his daughters, Venita Coffee and LaVown Coffee and her husband David; his son, Don Coffee and his wife Laura; his grandchildren Don and Dava Manes, Christopher, Dylan and Kyle Coffee, Frank and Robert Baumann, Matthew and Jeremy Rich; 12 great-grandchildren and more great nieces and nephews than can be counted. He loved all of them dearly.
Marvin was a car and motorcycle aficionado. He restored antique cars that won many awards. Marvin's love of cars and racing were best demonstrated during his years of successful races at Speedway Park. He had a love for life and enjoyed guns, crossbows, horseshoes, traveling and any time that he could spend time with family, friends or fur persons.
He worked as a top auto mechanic for the first half of his life and then became an electrical contractor, owning his own business, as well as working often at Intel. He retired from Klinger with many accolades for his excellent work and management.
He enjoyed and worshiped his lord for years and has now joined his savior. Please join us in celebrating his life Saturday, May 28, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at Hoffmantown Baptist Church, 8888 Harper Drive NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111.
