On Aug. 23, 1986, he married Linda Groen at Little Brown Church. They made their home in Nevada for three years until moving to Marshalltown where they have lived ever since.

He was employed in several different professions and fields in his life, including Old Home Bread route driver, AAA Insurance agent, police officer in Atlantic, owner and operator of the Siesta Motel in Nevada, Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames in the custodial department, and most recently managed a Dollar General Store in Nevada until his health declined. He was a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Marshalltown.

Left to cherish his memory are Linda, his loving wife of 23 years; three children, Becky Luing, of Nevada, Eric Shatto, of Newton, and Ben Shatto, of Ames; his grandchildren, Michayla and Carter Luing and Allissa Shatto; his siblings, Jim (Cheri) Shatto, of Fostoria, Gary (Rhonda) Shatto, of Springfield, Mo., Dennis (Debbie) Shatto, of Schuyler, Neb., and Sheri (Denny) Parrish, of Gilbert; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

In death, Marv rejoined his parents; sister, Sharon in infancy; sister, Connie Holmes; and brother, Larry Shatto; as well as Linda’s parents.
