I was never notified he was sick or had died. I read it a year later on Facebook. Broke my heart. Marvin was THE best brother ever. He was kind, and as far as I knew nonjudgemental. He thanked me years later for my not judging him at a time he did something so seemingly out of character, but as I told him REAL love covers all. It is in the totality of a life we can judge the person. Marvin was over and above all a gentle and kind human being. Forever loved.

Marv was a very caring and kind man. I loved working for him at Lincare. He taught me a lot while I worked there and it is because of him I have had a successful career in the medical field. I always looked up to him and to this day he was the best boss I ever had. He will be missed so much. He may gone from our sight but never from our hearts.

My condolences to Cathy and all of the family. I know Marv will be missed dearly. From the first time I met Marv back in 1988 when I started to work at Lincare I knew what a great guy he was. A kind and generous person that cared for and about everyone especially his family.. He was always there for everyone when needed with his undeniable sense of humor and kindness. The world needs more people like Marv. It would be a much better place today. I have many fond memories of the time I spent working with Marv. He will be remembered always for the person he was.. godspeed my friend..

Mere words are not needed for what our hearts express. I just wish there were more I could do. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet Marvin Kenneth Dowden, the man who captured your heart for over five decades. You captured in half a century what most will never have in a lifetime. You're fortunate and blessed, may that bring comfort to you. Love Charlene

Cathy, my heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. I've known Marvin since grade school and he was always a truly good friend. He was one of the Deep Rock gang hanging out at the gas station with the local group. Those times are some of my best memories. He will be greatly missed. I will keep you all in m prayers.

Deepest Sympathies to the family of Marv. He was such an inspirational teacher, mentor and friend during my tenure at Lincare. He truly taught me more about billing than I ever really wanted to know. You will be missed kind sir. You were truly one of a kind. You all will be on my heart in prayer.

Cathy and family…
Words can’t express what I, and all my family here in Indiana, are feeling at this time. Marv has been like an older brother to me almost my entire life… The source of a lot of laughs and great times. All of Marvin’s nieces, nephews, greats, etc. all want to make sure I express their sadness at the news of his passing and send their love and prayers for all of you … Our family does know a little bit of what you’re going through at this time but you will make it through. Cathy.... you already know but I am here for you 24/7.
Love to you all ❤️
