Marvin Hofer

Marvin Hofer was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on July 7, 1945, to Jacob D. and Elizabeth Hofer. He passed away on Feb 1, 2023.

Marvin was one of seven brothers and grew up on a farm/ranch in the sweet grass hills of North Central Montana. He took part in all facets of the farm and ranch life.

Marvin enjoyed many hobbies which included music, shooting, hunting, riding motorcycles, and woodworking. He dove hard and deep into his hobbies. The twang of a Telecaster, the strum of a Martin, the crack of a .357, and the rumble of a Harley Davidson were all exciting to him. Marvin had a serious side and a humorous side, which often manifested itself with hilarious schemes and jokes. People who knew him were always excited to see Marvin enter the room because they knew something funny was about to happen.

Dearer to him than anything was the network of family and friends surrounding the farm and his beloved hobbies. He formed solid relationships with many people from his day-to-day activities. Marvin always talked about his mother and loved her dearly. Marvin was a Christian man believing in the Lord. His favorite hymn was “Just as I am.”

He is survived by his brothers, Herb, Jack, and Joe Hofer. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Eddy, Peter, and Johnny.
