Marvin Demont Evans, Sr. was born on February 27, 1976, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Cindy Evans and

Marvin Buhl. He spent his early childhood in Texas before moving with his family to Colorado during his

grade school years. Although Marvin always considered Texas home and traveled back often, Colorado

became the place where he built his life. There, he started a family, formed many lifelong friendships,

and was known as someone who never met a stranger. He had a servant's heart, cared deeply for the

needs of others, and was the kind of person that family and friends knew they could always depend on.

Marvin naturally stepped into roles of caring and support, finding joy in encouraging children, family

members, and friends alike. He had a way of making people feel welcomed and valued, often greeting

those he loved with his signature phrase, "Hey, Loved Ones," a reminder that everyone in his circle was

embraced as family. Among Marvin's greatest joys was being a father to his son, Marvin Evans, Jr. (MJ).

Marvin was immensely proud of "MJ" and treasured every opportunity to encourage, support, and

celebrate him. "MJ" was truly his pride and joy.

Marvin was identified as gifted and talented in elementary school. His abilities became evident in the

classroom, on the basketball court, and on the football field. His athletic talent earned him a full

scholarship to play college football, beginning a collegiate journey that ultimately led to him earning a

degree in Sports Medicine. Marvin was bright, curious, and had a genuine love for learning. In recent

years, he developed an interest in the study of law and spent time deepening his knowledge in that

area. Whether in class or in conversation, he was always eager to learn, share what he learned, and

connect with people from all walks of life.

Marvin was a hardworking entrepreneur and the owner of Simply Marvelous Services, LLC. Through his

business, he employed others and provided a variety of quality services, including residential and

commercial cleaning, lawn care, and moving assistance. Known for his friendly personality and

dependable nature, Marvin took pride in helping others, meeting their needs, and building lasting

relationships with his clients. He approached every job with professionalism, care, and a genuine desire

to serve his community.

Marvin accepted Christ at an early age and carried his faith with him throughout his life. He attended

church as often as he could and was always willing to worship when invited. Marvin especially cherished

returning to Texas for Thanksgiving, Easter, Mother's Day, and family reunions, where he enjoyed

attending services at his grandmother's church alongside family and loved ones. His faith, family

traditions, and opportunities for fellowship remained meaningful to him throughout the years. His faith

was reflected not only in worship, but also in the way he served others, offered a helping hand, and

showed up for those who needed him.

Affectionately known as "Mont" to family and friends, Marvin was an avid sports enthusiast who loved

talking about all kinds of sports, but basketball and football were his true passions. He was a loyal fan of the

Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Dallas Cowboys and enjoyed cheering them on whenever he could. He

loved music, especially 90's R&B, and was a devoted fan of Fabolous and Big Mike.

Marvin enjoyed cooking, particularly desserts, and took great pride in making his delicious peach

cobbler, a treat family members looked forward to whenever he returned home to Texas. He had a

sweet tooth and loved trying new sodas, often joking that they were "for the kids" because he didn't

want anyone to go thirsty. He never passed up a Mrs. Baird's cherry pie and always made sure his aunts

packed Smokie Denmark sausage for his return to Colorado when he came to visit. Marvin also had a

fondness for Filipino food and looked forward to enjoying his favorite dishes whenever he could.

Marvin enjoyed bowling and participated in a bowling league with friends who became like family. He

was blessed with many lifelong friendships, and several of his male friends became brothers to him in

every sense of the word. He loved spending time outdoors, barbecuing, attending games, watching

movies, and simply enjoying whatever the day might bring. More than anything, he cherished being

surrounded by family and friends, creating memories, sharing laughs, and making the most of every

moment together.

On June 20, 2026, Marvin departed this life, leaving behind a legacy of faith, perseverance, kindness,

and love. He was preceded in death by his parents, Cindy Teal Harris and Marvin Buhl, and his

grandfathers, Nathaniel Johnson and Henry Mims.

Marvin's memory will forever be cherished by his son, Marvin Evans, Jr. (MJ); his siblings, Otis Evans

(Shotori), Tracy Evans and Kristen Evans; his beloved grandmother, Bertha Mae Johnson; his cherished

nieces and nephews, who lovingly knew him as Uncle Mont; his aunts, uncles, cousins, many of whom

shared a bond with him that was more like that of siblings; and a host of dear friends whose lives were

touched by his warmth, generosity, and unwavering spirit.

To know Mont was to know loyalty, laughter, good music, good food, and a heart that always made

room for family and friends. Whether greeting someone with his familiar "Hey, Loved Ones," cheering

on his teams, sharing a Mrs. Baird's cherry pie, or making sure everyone had something to drink, Marvin

found joy in life's simple moments and in the people he loved most. His memory will continue to live on

in the countless lives he touched, the stories that will be shared for generations to come, in the heart of

MJ, his greatest source of pride and joy, and in the familiar greeting that family and friends will always

hear in their hearts:

"Hey, Loved Ones!"
