He grew up on the family farm in the Onecho area where as a young man he was involved in 4-H and FFA. He attended the Onecho Bible Church his entire life.

He served in the United States Army from December 1952 through November 1954. He was a Corporal during the Korean War stationed in Okinawa as a telephone lineman/operator. He continued in the Army Reserves until 1960. After returning from Okinawa, he married his sweetheart, Frances "Kay" McIntyre on June 25, 1955. Together they had two children, Marva Lynn and Mike. They lived in a big farm house on top of the Almota grade for 60 years where they made many memories. Marvin was a farmer his whole life until dementia started in the Fall of 2010. For a time, he was the Onecho Church farm operator. Farming was a priority during the busy seasons but when fieldwork was done it was time to play. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He was a fishing guide on the snake river for a few years. He made many friends enjoying the outdoors. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be deeply missed. Marvin is survived by his children, Marva Lynn Smith and Mike Aeschliman (Debbie); his grandchildren, Jessica Smith (Kenny), Chad Aeschliman, Chase Aeschliman (Kelsey Miller), and Chayne Aeschliman; and his great-grandchildren, Ari and Adric Smith.
