My condolences to my sister Maria Chambers. Also thank you to my sister Maria Chambers for bring this fine gentleman into the world. WO1 Marvin Andrew Sheldon Marcelle was a light, a leader and an example of how to live. I grow up on the same street with Marvin as kids back home in Trinidad and Marvin was always a light and a leader, Marvin always stood out and a different type of individual, with high standard and discipline. Even though he’s younger than I am, I learned so much from him. He strived and achieved excellence in every area of his life and this is a profound loss for our family. I will never ever forget, I will never ever, ever stop loving my nephew. He’s alive and well in my heart and there is will be always. My soul cries, but we will meet again. “Far from Finished” I love brother!!!!!
i remember when Jamal and himself came to the United States i was at Debbie’s house one evening we went to a buffet style restaurant where you pay one price and eat as much as you could when Marvin heard that his face lit up and with a big smile on his face he said really well my boy had a wonderful time Marvin rest in peace and rise in glory
Marvin Marcelle was a true brother. When we met at 359, and realized we had the caribbean connection, our talks was always about food from back home. He always made sure I knew the right spots to get the best roti and peleau. He was a mentor who would challenge me to look at other options in my military career. I was always chasing him, professionally. My brother, my friend…my heart aches and I look at your pictures and still can’t believe you are gone. You will be missed. RIP
Trini, my brother, I miss you dearly! I remembered the first day we met and clicked instantly. You had a drive like no other, always pushing others to be the best version of themselves, be it career wise or health and physical well-being. We haven’t seen each other physically since Bragg days, but we always stayed connected. I’m going to miss our regular chats, eating at different Caribbean restaurant spots whenever we linked up. You left a positive mark in everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. You will always be remembered Marvin! Doh worry I’m still rocking Machel & Fay-Ann daily. Rest easy my brother until we link again.
My heart goes out to you Maria and to your family. Marvin is at peace in the loving arms of God and you will be with him again. I pray that Jesus will watch over all of you and bring you the comfort, love and peace that you need at this time. You are all in our thought and prayers.
Eric, Kolbie and Aiden
Stand up dude!! Always enjoying life and bettering himself. I pray for your family and hope you’re looking down proud of everything you’ve done for them and yourself. EVERYONE was proud of you brother. God bless you, we love you, and pray that you watch over us all. 🙏🏿❤
Marvin was such an amazing leader and warrior! He will be truly missed. I’m truly sorry for his loss. I will never forget him!
