He was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force in 1973.

Marvin is survived by four brothers, Ntsikeleo Willis, Bernard Willis, Anthony Willis and Kenneth Willis; other relatives and friends. He was a private person; he loved his mother and his brothers. He danced to his own beat, and always sought excitement. Marvin always moved around until he got to New Orleans. He was always a smart dresser, and he liked to style and profile. The street was his life, his excitement and he lived it for all it could give him. He always sought adventure and enjoyed what he found.
