SHINER:  Marvin E. Kremling, 76, joined his heavenly family Monday, March 13, 2023. He was born August 6, 1946 in Shiner to Edmund and Beatrice (Kusak) Kremling.

Marvin graduated from Shiner High School, served in the US National Guard and was a lifetime member of Sts. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church. Marvin worked for Tandy Brands for over 40 years as Superintendent of the belt factory.  He was known for his dedication and drive to get the job done but had the most considerate and kind way with people. He loved music, was a song writer, played the accordion and guitar. He played in many local bands and the sang joyfully to the Lord in the church choir. He married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Herman March 10, 1968 and they celebrated their 55th anniversary by her holding him close, knowing that God would call him home soon. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and will always be missed. Rest in peace Marvin.
