Marvin Clinton Troutman, 74, passed away on October 20th, 2020 surrounded by his family. Marvin was born in Des Moines on June 6th, 1946 to Fairus "Bud" Troutman and Wanda Eilene Burger Troutman. He grew up mostly in Windsor Heights and attended Tech High School. Marvin worked as an auto body repairman and painter at Bickel Motors until recently when he retired in 2017.
Marvin is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Linda Baker Troutman. He was an amazing dad to their three daughters Kimberly (Timothy) Johnson of Des Moines, Jodi (David) Swim of Berwick and Cathy (Matthew) Stevermer of West Des Moines. Marvin was blessed with eleven grandkids who will miss his silly sense of humor - Anna (Steve), Aaron (Serena), Winter, Nikkole (Jesse), Jessica (Maurillo), Allyson, Malinda, David, Mason, Alexa and Carter. He was further blessed with ten beautiful great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Paul Troutman, sisters Beverly Betts and Shirley (Rich) Griffin and many nieces and nephews who were very close to him.
Marvin loved to spend his free time camping and fishing with his family and best friends Richard and Shellie Baker, Paul and the late Jackie Troutman, Karelyn and the late Jim Baker amongst many other great friends. When he was younger, he enjoyed building street stock race cars and spent a lot of time at the tracks. He was a strong man, but had a soft heart for babies, toddlers, dogs and kittens and will be missed greatly by his best friend Joey.
A small, outdoor, graveside service is planned at Laurel Hill Cemetery. Masks will be required. Details to follow.
