Marvin Paul Leask

Marvin Paul Leask of Battle Creek, MI

Marvin, age 71, went to be with the Good Lord, free and in peace, on Thursday, April 26th, 2018. He had been ill suffering for some time. Through his many trials and tribulations in life, he came to know the Lord, which gave him great love for the whole family, which was received and reciprocated.

Marvin was born in George, IA on August 4, 1946 to Margaret Jane (Mammenga) and Edward Paul Leask. He attended Battle Creek Central High School. He married Patricia Cebelak and had his only daughter, Loree Denise Leask. Loree always had a deep, faithful love for her father, even though they had little time together.

Marvin was very adventurous, more of a "free spirit" while living in various states. He loved people and flirting with the girls. In his younger days, he enjoyed being fit - weight lifting, boxing, leather work, counseling, fixing things and a little surfing. Marvin went back to school at the age of 56 to learn air conditioning and refrigeration. He had lived in Sault Ste. Marie and was a member of the Chippewa Tribe.

Surviving members of his family are his daughter, Loree Denise Leask; mother, Margaret Leask; brothers; Rodger, Ronald and Doug; sister, Mary; nephews and nieces, Brian, Shane, Amy, Jennifer, Spencer and Craig Leask and Erin Zarembinski; many great nieces and nephews as well as a couple of great greats. Marvin was preceded in death by his father, Edward and a nephew, John Edward Leask.

The Farley Estes Dowdle Funeral Home & Cremation Care, Battle Creek, is assisting Marvin's family.
