Marvin Leon Carpenter was born on Sept. 22, 1942, and passed from this life on May 3, 2022. He was the son of John and Icia Stamey Carpenter and is preceded in death by his parents, three sisters, and five brothers.
He will be remembered for his generosity and his caring spirit. He would give whatever he had with an open heart. He was also known for having a mischievous streak and for enjoying a good laugh. He absolutely loved his family. In fact, they knew without a doubt he was crazy about each one of them.
He liked traveling and seeing new sights. His sidekick was Bootsie, a black poodle who truly thought she was part human. No matter what the trip, even to the store or to work, Bootsie was always ready to go. She and Marvin reached an understanding early on that dog food was for ordinary dogs; and therefore, he made sure she dined solely on people food.
He was an enthusiastic sports fan. He enjoyed watching the Atlanta Braves, North Carolina Tar Heels, and NASCAR. He always looked forward to and had great fun on fishing trips to Michigan. He installed commercial textile cleaning systems and owned the company, MCC.
He is survived by his children, Rebecca Abreu of Asheville, N.C. and Marty Carpenter (Melody) of Franklin, N.C.; his grandchildren, Cheyenne Deyoung, Robbie Carpenter, Brayden Cline, and Bailey Welch; his great-grandchildren, Jaxon Deyoung, Haven Welch, and Lawson Welch; and his companion, Geraldine Wakenshaw.
Graveside services were held on Friday, May 6, at Black Mountain Baptist Church Cemetery. VFW Post 7339 and American Legion Post 108 Honor Guard conducted military honors. Pallbearers were Kevin Holland, Mitchell Cabe, Jamie Stiles, Keith Stamey, John Allen and Greg Carpenter.
