MARVIN ALLEN COLLINS, JR., went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.  He was 15 years old.  He was born February 18, 2008, in Huntington, W.Va., and was an 8th grade student at Wayne Middle School.  Marvin was well-known for both picking his guitar and his likeable personality.  He enjoyed playing cards and video games, but above all, loved hanging out with his dad.  He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Robert and Helen Walters Collins; and maternal grandmother Rita Carter.

Marvin is survived by his father, Marvin "Joe" (Linda) Collins of Lavalette, W.Va.; his mother Kimberly Carter of Wayne, W.Va.; brother Joseph (Emily) Collins; nephews Lucas Collins and Joseph Collins Jr., all  of Crum, W.Va.; half-sister Tiffanie Boyes of Ohio; stepbrother Chase Adkins; step-sister Audrey Adkins, both of Lavalette;  maternal grandfather Jake Messer of Wayne; as well as a host of family and friends too numerous to mention.

The family would like to extend the deepest gratitude for the prayers and support during this difficult time.  Visitation will be held from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m. on Friday, March 31, 2023, at Johnson Tiller Funeral Home. Private burial will follow.
