Marvin passed away on Tuesday, June 1, 2021 at his residence in Norfolk. Stonacek Funeral Chapel in Norfolk is in charge of the arrangements. Marvin Ray Stueckrath was born on June 29, 1942 in Randolph, Nebraska to Oscar and Lillie (Herman) Stueckrath. He attended grade school at Randolph Public Schools and graduated from Randolph High School in 1961. Marvin served in the United States Army from April 17, 1964 to January 13, 1967. He served his basic training in Ft. Leavenworth, KS. He was stationed at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. He was discharged on hardship to help his mother on the farm after his father’s passing. He married Debbie Granfield on May 24, 1980 at the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Randolph. Throughout Marvin’s life, he lived in Carroll, Neligh, Hoskins, and Norfolk. He worked as a farmer, irrigation repair, welder, bar owner, a torch operator, worked at Norfolk Iron and Metal until he retired and then he helped at Marathon Press. Marvin enjoyed Nebraska football, baseball, softball, spending time with family and friends especially his grandchildren, and spending his morning’s playing cards in Hoskins. He could always figure out how to make something with iron or wood and would work on it until he figured it out. He was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Hoskins, and American Legion Post 16, Norfolk. Survivors include his spouse Debbie Stueckrath, children Melissa (Rich) Nelson, Merinda (David) Kahle, Marcus (Trecia) Stueckrath, Nicole (Brian) Geertsema, grandchildren Jessica Rodgers, Blake Buchanan, Skye Nelson, Tapainga Kahle, Tori Ference, Lillian Stueckrath, Lucas Stueckrath, and Raelyn Stueckrath, great grandchildren Amauri Rodgers, Adreya Rodgers, sister Eileen “Fuzz” (Dennis) Kucera, mother-in-law Lynette Granfield, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his son Marty Jo Stueckrath, granddaughter Baby Nelson, parents Oscar and Lillie Stueckrath, sisters Shirley Stueckrath and Naoma (Donral) Schulz, brother Duane (Margaret) Stueckrath, father-in-law Dwayne Granfield, and sister-in-law Shelly Jaeger. Casket bearers will be Dan Thayer, Otto Beltz, Scotty Paulsen, Dave Bogue, Doug Kucera, and Doug Jaeger. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be directed to the family for a later designation. Condolences may be expressed to the family on-line at www.stonacekfuneralchapel.com.
