Marvin Duane Warner, 93 passed away in his sleep at Solomia Home May 30th 2025.
Marvin was born in Hennessey Oklahoma on August 7th 1933.
He was known as a caring person who always had a word of wisdom and a crazy sense of humor.
He and his brothers, Max and Doyle, founded Warner Brothers Custom Builders, which was in business for over 50 years.
Marv loved his wife, Ava, his family, his friends, hunting, fishing and tinkering (his words). Not necessarily in that order.

He's is survived by his wife Ava (Forquer), his children Susie Werings, Linda Wetherbee (John), Hal Warner (Jennifer). He is also survived by his Grandchildren Charley Werings (Becky), Julieanne Huer (Brian), Alisa Werings (Dan), Angela Kneeland (Danny), and 8 great grand children.
Please come to share memories and laughter in remembrance of Marv and his great stories. His memorial will be held at Yankton Community Fellowship on July 26th at 1PM.
