Marvin Winegar, 77 of the Yuma Community was born on February 17, 1943 and passed away at Holston Valley Medical Center on February 1, 2021 after a 14-year battle with Multiple Myeloma.  Marvin will be remembered for being a loving husband, dad, papaw, and brother. He was well known for his ability to fix most anything he was presented with.  His woodworking skills were second to none as he strived for perfection with every project.  He graduated from Gate City High School in 1961 and went to work at Holliston Mills that summer. He retired after 44 years.  Marvin attended and was a member of Homeland Baptist Church until his health no longer permitted.
