Marvin L. Trickett, age 80, went home to be with the Lord on Nov. 9, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. He was born in Morgantown, on Oct. 31, 1943, to the late Carl and Gladys (Miller) Trickett.
Marvin spent many years building his career as a mechanical designer and draftsman. Marvin was a very creative soul who enjoyed many interests, including art, landscaping and gardening, carpentry, and many outdoor activities. He loved spending time with his wife, Melissa, going camping, fishing, hiking, and boating.
