Marvin Kinnard

Marvin Kinnard, 90, Casco passed away on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, peacefully at home in the early morning hours. Marvin was born on March 30, 1934, to the late Bill and Lucy (LeRoy) Kinnard. Marvin married the love of his life, Donna Bertrand on May 7, 1955. She preceded him in death on November 10, 2022.

Marvin lived a fulfilling life filled with dedication to his community and loved ones. He was a familiar face to many in Casco, having served on the Luxemburg-Casco School Board for 12 years and being a trusted school bus driver for the local children. His work on the family dairy farm which started in 1959 with Donna and at the Algoma Hardwoods showcased his strong work ethic. A devout member of the St. Peter Holy Name Society and the Catholic Order of Foresters, Marvin's faith was at the center of his life.

In his spare time, Marvin found joy in woodworking, creating beautiful pieces with his skilled hands. Another joy was the time he loved spending in the yard doing yard work and gently motivating people around the farm. However, his true passion lay in spending time with his grandkids and great-grandchildren, cherishing every moment shared with them.
