Marvin Leroy Albright, our beloved son, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, died Monday, Jan. 19, 2015, in Lewiston, surrounded by his family.
Marvin was the first of six children, born July 19, 1955, on a hot summer day to Bill and Carol Albright. He attended St. Stanislaus School and Lewiston High School until the family moved to Mission Creek his senior year. He attended Culdesac High School, where he met the love of his life, Sharon Feucht. After graduating from high school in 1973, Marvin worked with his Grandpa Marvin and Dad Bill at the family business that has been owned and operated since 1946. Marvin and Sharon were married Oct. 19, 1974. They started their family on Mission Creek with the birth of their first son, Marvin, on Feb. 20, 1978, followed by their second son, Mike, born May 11, 1979. They moved to Culdesac, then later moved to Lewiston.
Marvin loved the outdoors. He was a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Marvin was an avid hunter, golfer, snowmobiler, trap shooter ... anything outdoors. He was known for building and rebuilding anything from snowmobiles to dirt bikes to Jeeps. He especially enjoyed working on, and recently perfecting to his liking, his 1976 CJ7 Jeep. He and Sharon took many Jeep excursions to several beautiful places with some of their lifelong friends and family.
Marvin is survived by his wife of 40 years, Sharon; his mother, Carol; sons and daughters-in-law Marvin, Amy, Mike and Kendra; granddaughters Alyssa, Dilynn, Jordynn, Brylin and Eastyn, all of Lewiston; brothers Wayne (Jill), Dale (Bridget), all of Lewiston, Gene (Becky) of Clarkston, Wes (Pam) of Spokane; and a sister, Jerri (Wade) Canning of Clarkston; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends and business associates who all loved him dearly.
Marvin was preceded in death by his father, Bill.
A celebration of Marvin's life will be held at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at All Saints Catholic Church.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be made to Pancreatic Cancer Awareness at www.pancan.org; or the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation at http://www.rmef.org/; The Willow Center for grieving children at http://willow-center.org/; or any charity of choice.
